Has anyone called to get the free club from upswing golf? I have two of their free club cards from outings this year and am wondering if it's worth the $21.95 for the shipping/handling. One of the cards is supposedly a rarer offer and I can get a hybrid. I just don't want to piss away money just because I have the card.

Anyone with experience with these? I would love to hear your thoughts.

I hit it well. I keep the ball in play much more than I did before. I've also found that I get much better distance when I make contact in the upper 1/2 of the club face so I tee the ball a little higher than I ever have. 3 1/4 tees are a must for me with this thing. I tried 2 3/4" tees Wednesday and I did not get nearly the distance I do with the ball teed higher.

The biggest thing I've gained is confidence that I'm not going to blow a drive into the next fairway when I swing harder and come over the top a little.

how do I check whether my club is a genuine club?
A friend gave this to me.
It has a cicular dot on the side of the club head facing me. However, it does have an engraved no... What is the color of you club cover. It is orange/black for mine.

...so I'll take it that no one has either received these "free club" cards at an outing or never sent them in.

I have received cards for "free" clubs (plus S&H;) from time to time (but not this year when I played Wicked Stick & Myrtle Beach National Southcreek) while playing at Myrtle Beach area courses. If I remember correctly, the club (or clubs) were not a brand name, or a name I'd ever heard of before, and my opinion was the club likely not up to Titleist, Cleveland, Ping, etc. standards and possibly was a piece of junk. Of course since I never got one of the clubs, who knows? I realize this isn't much help but at least it's a response . . .

I had one of these cards that was good for a hybrid. I thought what the heck... $21.95 and 10 days later I received a very plain looking 17* hybrid. You know what? It's honestly not that bad. There is no way I would pay them $99 for the club but it got me out on the range with a hybrid and I learned how to hit it. Today I received a 20* and 24* nickent 3DX hybrid that were marked down to $60 ea. While I don't know if I'll put the 17* "free/$21.95 hybrid in my bag I don't think it is a cheap POS like I honestly assumed it would be.

I've been getting offers from Warrior Golf. So I got some of there free wedges when I needed them. Warrior Golf wedges.
They are ok and worth $30 for 3 wedges. I prefer my Pinseeker wedges over the Warrior ones but they make great practice ones while I can keep them in my car and not worry about the heat ruining them and hitting balls in the dirt at work.

I went ahead and took the plung on the Upswing offer and I have enjoyed my new 56 sand wedge ever since. I had a friend give it to me who also got the wedge and he loves it. It really doesnt say much from me but my friend is probably a 10-15 handicapper and I have a watched him almost put it in the hole a couple of times with it.

I also got one of the cards from Warrior for free 3 hybrid. S/p was $23.50. I am tempted to get one but don't know if it is worth it. It says on the card that it retails at $199.99 which is obviously not worth it. Anybody else take up this offer?

I suspect it's like the social websites that offer such-and-such, a $50 value, FREE with your membership. But no one ever paid $50 for such-and-such, so it isn't really a $50 value.

I don't know anyone who ever bought Warrior clubs, and I've never seen them sold, so I don't know if it's really a $200 value. I got the offer - twice! - and I have two 3-Hybrids (Cobra Baffler, Mizuno MP FLI-HI), so I see no need for a third when I have two that I like.

I thought that name sounded familiar so I hit up Google... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&c...am;&btnG;=Search Bad news, these guys are scam artists. Anytime you see "free" you can be pretty sure it's not (or at least there is something hidden in the deal somewhere).

Wow.

Thanks so much for this. This is exactly the reason for this board to prevent us from getting scammed. You just saved me a huge headache.

I don't know anyone who ever bought Warrior clubs, and I've never seen them sold, so I don't know if it's really a $200 value.

There are three or four guys where I play who have full sets of Warrior clubs and all are very happy with them. I can only remember who two of them are right off the top of my head. One is a 12.5 who replaced his Ping Eye-2 irons (not sure what kind of woods/hybrids) with Warriors and it seems his index has stayed pretty much the same. The other guy's a 19.0 who replaced TaylorMade Burner woods & irons with Warriors (woods, hybrids & irons) and his index has has improved maybe from 20, 21 or 22. [Of course I'm not suggesting the Warriors are the reason for the improvement].

I have never seen Warrior clubs/balls at Martin's (Myrtle Beach), Nevada Bob's, Dick's, Pro Golf Discount, etc. I'm pretty sure Warrior clubs & balls are only sold via the internet, mail order or telephone. http://www.warriorcustomgolf.com/

I used the cards for the driver and 7 wood. $50 total for both. Driver saw two rounds and 8 trips to the driving range and then snapped right at the head. My son has been using it. He hits pretty hard. Not sure if it can be fixed. I know there is no warranty any more. Really disappointed in the short time it lasted. Barely looks used but it sure looks broken. Would not do this again free or not.

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
