I just received an e-mail. "You're invited to test new Warrior Custom Wedges absolutely free for the cost of shipping and handling." Nope.

Doesn't sound "free" to me...

Im obviously not an employee of warrior, but when i was in north farolina the course i use to play( reems creek) warrior was the clubs they had they. I dont know if its called sponsoring or whatever. They must be reputable to some point. Cant say much about their clubs but i dont see how they could be completely scam artist if clubs are selling their stuff strictly. Not saying anyone should buy their stuff or sign up for anything. Edit but i do remember there being advertisement for free balls and clubs on the gps and scorecard so what do i know.

They don't leave you alone. Places sell mailing lists. They buy mailing lists. And once you get on their list, even if you check "Unsubscribe" you keep receiving mail from them. It never stops. They get you on that you're "testing a new product" and you have to report back whether you like it or not. Then they try to get you to buy a full set from them regularly blah blah blah, and they'll make it seem like a deal.

But you can get name brand clubs for less... new.... in the stores. And they're better.

They must have forgotten to stop them from billing their credit card.

Probably a "wooden" nickel....

Well I guess that puts me at 10 cents since this is my second post


So are you enjoying the site so far? Or were you only here for the warrior club post?

For the record tho.. I have had the 3 hybrid and a different 60 degree by them for about 4 years now, the 60 has been my go to club, I just replaced it with the 52,56,&60... I like me, I can hit the 3 hybrid pretty well but it barely goes any farther than my Taylor made raylor 22 degree 5 hybrid so therefore I don't think it's up to par with the competition. And as I said earlier I'm impressed with the irons. I'm gonna have to try out some by other companies to compare.. I'm 6'4" and these are the only irons I have hit that are fit to me. And yes I have been fit tested at Edwin watts golf in Jackson ms. So I knew what corrections they needed to make. Also for the record as I said earlier I am from ms and from what I've seen warrior is from Cali so I doubt I could even become a rep for them as if I even would want to. And yes they do try to talk you into playing there game.. I called them knowing I wanted the wedges and wanting to try the irons so I say they played my game. Yes they send tons of emails.. I called them after seeing an email I just got last week and I had not contacted them in 4 yrs. I can't remember if they ever used to call me back then but if so I must have told them to stop because they haven't called since I can remember. But to ur point I think the business model sucks, I wouldn't even give a thought to trying their driver due to the lack of pop on the hybrid. But so far with the wedges and irons I don't really know what else to ask out of the clubs.. If I see better results from some others down the road you better believe that I'll let you know about it. And on a side note, what is the your opinion on drivers that are out there right now. I have an r11 and I really can crush it when I'm on but I think all the adjustments that are built in distract me more than they actually help.. What you think?

Literally any other. Making a My Swing thread in the member swings sub-forum is a particularly great use of your time on this site. Welcome.

Did y'all see my big comment? And while we are still on the subject here, and the irons made crappy the where they will lose performance earlier than big brands? If this is the case then I'll definitely be sending them back at the end of the trial period, and also, what irons on the market give you the most bang for your buck? I am not very brand loyal, really just looking for good clubs without having to pay TOP dollar.. And also, is it a lot harder to hit blades? Or should I give them a shot? I'm lefty so I never get to really test my friends clubs on my own...

Buying new, you can get last year's flagship irons for well under $400 now. These are the Speedblades, X2 Hots, etc. Those are solid. You can also buy used for under $300. As a lefty, you might also be well served by just going to a bunch of golf stores and seeing what's in stock. I know I've seen random clubs and sets for lefties that are massively discounted because all the righty sets have sold and they just have lefty stock that they don't know what to do with. That's very much catch as catch can, but it's a big upside play if you're willing to put in the leg work.

Blades are, very generally, harder to play with than corresponding irons of a game improvement variety, but it's very much subject to how you strike the ball and what your issue / miss is. If you tend to hit out of the center of the face consistently, you won't have much of an issue. Similarly, if you don't have trouble launching irons, you won't have much of an issue. If your strike is more erratic, blades might not be the best way to go. In either case, you should try them extensively before buying blades. Lots of people buy on looks alone and, if you don't know blades are what you want, it's not a good bet to make for the money.

I have not read this entire thread but so far it seems there is a consensus to stay away.  I did respond to an on-line offer of 2 dozen  "free"balls for $19.95 shipping handling which is ok to try out the balls as that is what I would be paying for something like Laddie Precepts. When I phoned the order in, the operator did try to get me to agree to test a set of woods with the proviso that I would be getting a free putter. I declined. Hopefully that will be the end of it and no credit card suprizes. Should a set of clubs arrive on my doorstep, I will refuse delivery. Keeping fingers crossed!

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
