Clubs you bought on the spot

[LSeca]

Have any of you ever bought a club you had not even considered before hitting it, but hit it so well you had to buy it?

I recently bought two Rapture hybrids after hitting them so well. Funny thing, I had never considered them and actually was hoping to buy something from another brand. I demoed several outside, but clearly (and unfortunately most expensive) the Raptures were best for me.

I bought my vokey on the spot. Never hit it, or anything. Read the reviews and got a great price so I picked it up. I've used it a few times now, and although I'm not chipping in from 50 yards on every hole like GitRdone does, it still has worked out nicely, especially on those 10-20 yard flop shots over bunkers or w/e. Out of curiosity what do rapture hybrids go for?

Bought my driver and 53 and 56 wedges on the spot. Without ever hitting them once.

I bought the 18 and 21 degree, Ping-labeled graphite shaft in stiff flex.

I was actually planning on buying the Titleist 585h or the new G10 hybrid but bought the Rapture on a whim after seeing the ball flight. I hit them so well this is almost like cheating, but I almost didn't even try them as they have a lot of game improvement offset and technology. I guess I need that stuff!

Interesting, were you considering new irons before or were they a spur of the moment purchase (like my experience)?

I had been toying around with idea of new irons, since coming back from a 5 yr layoff a while back, but not seriously considering doing anything about it. My Titty 962(96 ver) where as sharp as ever. Then one saturday i see this cleveland tent at my range. The tech showed me these cg4 tour only models and after some professional tweaking i was sold on those

, man that was a great set. A few months later my curiosity got the best of me and I really dialed into the clubs that are meant for me.

I bought my TM R7 460 online used obviously without ever hitting it.
I test hit the Cleveland Halo 3 iron before I bought it but not the 4 iron.
Gap wedge & Lob wedge were also bought without having been hit by me.

[RunOfTheDill]

Bought cg10's without hitting and just bought ping i10's without even seeing one in person. I can't wait for them to come in.

Bought my Ping Craz-E putter on the spot. I dont think it was the best..the putter is not much better than much cheaper putters in my opinion.
This time i want to buy a mizuno raw haze wedge so i am thinking more about the pros and cons and the prize and such

I bought my Adams 3hybrid online before I even hit it. I hate it and only use my 3 iron now.
I went to my local Golf shop and was looking for a 3 wood. After 2 weeks of trying clubs I walked out of there with my Ben Hogan 3 wood. It's my favorite club since I've bought it.

I bought my Nike Sumo after just a couple test hits. I'm glad i did too.

Actually just bought a Scotty Cameron about six hours ago on the spot Probably not the smartest purchase of my life, but never saw a price this low on new one, so I had to do it. Ramon noodles and I will become very good friends the next couple of weeks

I ordered my vokeys on the spot without testing, but had heard great reviews on them. I luv them now. I also ordered a Titleist 585. H today without testing, but have tried EVERY other hybrid on hooked them.

[fluxcapacitor]

I bought my hybrid on the spot w/o hitting it, only because it was $40 used and in great shape. I figured if i didn't like it i could sell it on ebay for at least that.

I'm also thinking about getting some nike ignite irons w/o hitting them. Guess I need to see if Edwin Watts has some I can try before buying them.

I bought my Sonartec MD 19* on the spot a week or two after the 04 Open. I saw various displays of it's versatility when T.Hamilton was knocking em dead from the fairway and in and around the greens. I just had to have one! The only clubs I've ever bought with out prior testing or research. But, I am seriously considering picking up a 585.h it looks and more importantly, flies soo pure

I bought my Nicklaus CGX irons a few years back with no intention of buying them. I was there to hit cobras and slingshots. But I wasnt all that impressed with their feel after I hit them, so the salesman suggested I hit the Nicklaus irons.

Well to make a short story shorter, I was amazed with their feel. And was sold. Took them home and they have treated me well since.

ya my 695mb and sccoty putter, 585h and just love them im just a titleist guy i have always been for some reason i just go back to titleist i like the square look. after i have bought these clubs yes i have gone out to check other to see if they work better for me and in my case i have made the right choice i hit them better and feel better. i just cant go wrong w/ them i normally dont do this before i bought these clubs i did go and hit other but not titleist. i guess im very picky it takes me like a whole month to make a choice and yes ill be at the pro shop atleast twice a week for i make a selection
