I became a lucky owner of about 24 of their golf balls when a "friend" (I got to get him back someday) cleaned out his golf room.  They are "ok".  I play "soft" in general and mostly :bridgestone:e6. My response overall is "meh", not totally bad but, for me and my strokes I would not buy them.  (I also don't play one of the :callaway: softs for the same reason.)

As one who has heard many such pitches, I have taken on a few approaches.  With some companies, I go to the fact that I speak very fluent German and I can go into a hard to understand dialect of that language as well.  Or, if I am in a pissant mood, I will talk to them as if I am a lawyer going over every point in their ad.  Keep them on line in both cases as it ties up their sales figures. Usually they hang up on me!

A lot one can do if they are retired and have time.

I'm forwarding all my solicitor calls to you. TIA!!

All of the threads on Warrior Golf are pretty old, but the internet is replete with horror stories about these scumbags. Their clubs are garbage, and they've recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which was accelerated by a Florida court ruling that they bilked an elderly man out of over $1 million over the past decade. 

Unfortunately, I'm a member at a club in California owned by Warrior for the past five years. They subsequently took a classic Ted Robinson design and ran it into the ground. The good news is that the roughly 3,000 homeowners in our gated community voted last August (by 78% to 22%) to authorize our HOA board to pursue the purchase of the golf course and restaurant. The sale was proceeding nicely until Warrior's bankruptcy filing, but recent developments again look promising. Hopefully we'll have our course and restaurant back in competent hands by August or so. Wish us lick! The best part is that the bankruptcy court has removed Warrior from any involvement in club operations, and they've designated a management company to oversee operations until this is resolved.

In the meantime, Warrior continues to try to lure unsuspecting golfers into ordering their "custom" clubs. CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!

Sorry to hear about your course.  I'm not surprised that Warrior ran it into the ground.  They seem to be run by people who were born on third base and think they just hit a double.  

Notice how many one-post-only accounts there are singing the praises of Warrior.  Hmm...

I bought a 60* wedge from them once but have avoided them like the plague ever since. The sooner they go away the better.

They own 15 golf courses, each of whom are now in the hands of the bankruptcy judge. What would be funny if it weren't so pathetic is that the Warrior owner (Brendan Flaherty) and his flunkies all fancy themselves to be great foosball players. A visit to Warrior's and Flaherty's facebook pages bears that out. Maybe if they'd focused less on foosball and more on golf they wouldn't be in the predicament they're in.

I had a set of their 52,56,60 degree wedges for a while.  There was one thing that they were great for...these are the only clubs that i have ever snapped in frustration.  It was so liberating to be free of the Warriors. 😀

This is a follow-up to my 5/29 post. Well, at long last, we have survived the cancer that is Warrior Golf. Finally, the bankruptcy court has approved the sale of our community golf course to us...well, our HOA, to be specific. We've been subjected to Warrior's incompetence and antagonism for over 5 years, but it's all behind us now. 

I urge anyone who's even thinking about buying any clubs or balls (or whatever) from them to not do it. Once you've bought anything at all from them you can count on being continually harassed by their "sales staff". The internet is full of consumer horror stories involving Warrior. They brag about their money back guarantee, but good luck trying to return anything to them. This is the golf company from hell!!!

OK, now I feel better. Seriously, though, these guys are bad news. Avoid them like the plague.

Good to hear you prevailed. I bought a 60* wedge from them once, which I still have but never use. Whenever I see an “offer” from them now I immediately delete it. Though I didn’t have a bad experience personally there have been too many horror stories about them. So I steer clear of them.

    • A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.
    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR. 
    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
