I beg your pardon. You mean that thing (inverted ceramic driver) in my spare room you hit and then hollar..."in the hole". I agree.

I played them for many years before upgrading to the Callaway XR irons. I still have friends who use the G15 irons. I agree the look takes a little getting use to but they are a good club for those needing ease of launch.

Hey Wally Fairway . . . I think I need to change my vote. The VAS irons are the clear choice.

Holy hell, those things are ugly!

When I first saw the pic, I vomited in my mouth.

Corey Pavin won a US Open with those goofy things believe it or not.

The VAS 792 were my first set of irons as an adult.

They were all game improvement all the time. In fact, Roger Cleveland had to take out some GI features before they went to market.

Maybe the worst looking club, but clearly they performed. The Pro Version (I think there was a pro version) were used to win a US Open.

The Nike Sumo/SQ2 Drivers after the original SQ were the worst sounding driver ever -- scared people, could hear that driver a few holes away, and it was a loud, hollow trash can sound. It made everyone look.

One of the worst clubs, or Edsels ever, was the Callaway C4 driver -- the first composite driver -- did not perform.

Ping G400 Max 9/TPT Shaft, TEE EX10 Beta 4, 5 wd, PXG 22 HY, Mizuno JPX919F 5-GW, TItleist SM7 Raw 55-09, 59-11, Bettinardi BB39

Better watch your mouth, I have both the Sumo2 and Sumo2 5900 drivers, and the 5900 3-wood.


I hate all of them.

Absolutely. I had a buddy that played these. So glad I'm left handed and never was tempted to try them. Just awful.

How many balls can you hit with this ugly iron before screws start coming loose?

    • Day 539 - 2026-03-24 Got a bunch of swings in on Swing Coach. I have a good idea what I have to do in the downswing.
    • Day 219 3-24 Focus was on turning better with hips and getting more chest rotation. Creating more seperation between hips and chest in backswing. Just did drills today. 
    • Day 16 (24 Mar 26) - Restart of monthly church men’s grp 9-hole scramble.  Saw much better shot results (attribute to focusing on the takeaway).  Best part of the round was the finishing par 3 ninth.  Three of us miss the green, my nine yr old grandson (who is our 4th) hits it pin high 6’ left of the flag from his tee roughly 120yds. We tell him it’s his honor to make the birdie - he drills it center cup….one proud grandpa!  
    • Little bit of work in the back yard today. I was going to submit a couple of videos for a follow up but I made a complete dogs breakfast of positioning the camera so that will have to wait.    First swing is a middle distance pitch. Trying not to slide my hips too far forward and keep right arm straighter. I think it’s a hair better but still to be worked on. Second swing is a full shot where I tried to really exaggerate lifting my arms. I swung too far so I think I’m losing it towards the end of the backswing, but it looks less flippy to me. I’m also hitting those plastic balls with holes in so not caring about outcome at all.     
    • Today's episode was a fun listen. It's always interesting listening to the stories about how different some people are. Equating mechanics and feels is one of those things that good coaches have to do a whole lot. I was surprised to hear that there are some people who just don't have internal feels - that's similar to the discovery that some people can't picture things in their minds. That one blew my mind so to speak.
