Anyone used Thomas Golf hybrids?


Recommended Posts

I bought Thomas hybrids (1-LW) over 15 years ago. They are easily the best clubs I’ve ever bought. Extremely forgiving and long. I’m 6’6” and find getting fitt d for clubs extremely difficult but the Thomas golf folks have their own fitting process which worked great for me. My next investment is a Thomas hybrid 460 cc driver

I have played Thomas hybrids they are of mid to low quality. The club design has not changed in 5 to 7 years maybe more. They seem to be a internet only company selling an antiquated product. I believe they are a one or two man operation using a drop ship service. The quality is questionable AT BEST. For an all hybrid set look at the Cobra or Cleveland Turbo line. I would avoid Thomas golf go with an established reputable company.

I agree with most of what you say, but I think the Thomas quality is there, they are well made. What I agree with you on is the design dating, yes they are older vintage, not updated or changed through the last several years. Why buy a product with a 7 yo design? I have a few of their hybrids and the aspect I like about them is they are not hooking machines that so many golfers complain about with today's hybrids. There isn't any 1 or 2 * closed face. That stood out to me as soon as I hit them.

Thomas Golf is a company that you should advoid. At one time their product was very good, professionally built. Not any longer! Since the mailing address is the same as a golf component company, HIREKO, they either combined or were bought out? In any case, the workmanship of the club I recently received is terrible! Also, Customer Service will not return emails. Also, phone calls go to pre recorded messages. You are better off dealing with another company!

I agree!,  I attempted to do an online fitting (twice)for a hybrid mini driver with NO response.I went ahead anyway and bought the AT705 mini driver and have used it without success, its clunky and the directional line on top only faces the target correctly with the club shaft angled towards the target NOT in neutral position as shown on the videos. Very disappointed ! AND no response from the company!

I bought Thomas Hybrids from gap wedge to 5. Whilst I liked all of them the 8 to gap tended to pop up and go nowhere sometimes if I caught them a bit high on the face (my fault obviously)so now I just use the 5,6 and 7 and find them (esp the 6 and 7) miles easier to hit than a conventional iron they are very good with almost no chance of a shank. I have 8 to gap in Cleveland HB Turbos as the they are more like a conventional iron and don’t pop up. I would recommend Thomas clubs- and the service was good too.

I don't have a Thomas hybrid but I did recently buy a Thomas 21 wood from them directly, was struggling with the wedge I had and hit my fairway woods well so figured I would give it a try. It has a traditional pitching wedge loft(46 or 47 I believe). It came quickly (less than a week) and I have been pleased with it. Not a long hitting wedge but it is almost impossible to hit fat or skull...my miss with it might end up short but it has not caused any blowups around the greens.

I suffer from shanking the ball, and am considering full set of hybrids. Do you think this would help ? ( I have had numerous lessons and shanking is more of a ‘confidence’ issue.

A) You'll still hit the ball really poorly super in the heel of a hybrid.
B) I highly doubt it's a "confidence" issue and not an actual mechanical thing you can fix and practice.

I have 2 hybrids which I love, however I purchased 2 more and the shipping got screwed up and this company is nearly impossible to deal with.  If I were interested in buying hybrids I would buy them somewhere else.  This company has no phone conversations,  only email. They are super slow at returning your emails, their customer service is horrible.  Stay away!!!!!

I know this is an old post but I recently bought 4,7,9 Thomas woods April 2022.  I'm not too happy with them.  I really wanted to like them even though I knew it was old technology so gave them a good tryout.  I'm female and got ladies flex.  The overall appearance is nice, they look well made. The long alignment line on the top is ok. That's the biggest selling point they use, now I understand why.  Unfortunately these shafts weigh 77g and have a poor quality feel, just barely alive.  Shafts like this cost $20 at Golfworks, I considered swapping out for a better shaft but the head has a high metallic ting sound which doesn't sound great to my ears.  So didn't seem worth it.  I lost at least 10 yards distance.  The men's shaft weigh 68g or thereabouts, which is more reasonable for a wood.  So I should have stuck to Mizuno which was what I was looking for before I got sidetracked by Thomas' easy to navigate website and ordering system.

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
