Mr_Theoo Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 With the PGA show this week and loads of new clubs coming to retail soon, I got to wondering what is the worst club or other golf related product you ever spent money on? For me it was the Long Tom 2 wood. Even though it was cheap it didn't help on the course.

Kenny B Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 With the PGA show this week and loads of new clubs coming to retail soon, I got to wondering what is the worst club or other golf related product you ever spent money on? For me it was the Long Tom 2 wood. Even though it was cheap it didn't help on the course. I demo'ed the Long Tom. Never felt good to me. Sorry. Actually, I haven't been too unhappy with any purchase, but if I had to pick, it would be the pre-2010 Titleist Vokey SW and LW. Surprised?? Yeah, me too. I bought these to replace my Ping Eye 2's. They never felt that good to me, and I ended up going back to the Pings. But that led me to the SCORs, so if I did like the Vokeys, I wouldn't have the SCORs today! BTW, anyone want them?? “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markb Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I too have hit the VAS. Unquestionably the ugliest irons ever made, but they hit pretty nicely. My biggest regret was selling my first set of Ping Eye 2's for the Callaway S2H2 irons which I never hit well from day one to the last day 3 years later when I sold them and bought Eye2 coppers again.

Dhuck Whooker Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Callaway Big Bertha driver, circa 1995, 9.5 deg with a Ricoh "firm" shaft, bought it off the rack on the way to a weekend golf outing. Thing was expensive for those days too. That shaft was horrible for me. The ball flight was similar to how those give-away t-shirts fly when they are shot out of those air guns at hockey and basketball games. Or maybe a badminton serve. Damn I was stupid.

mr_divots Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I guess "disappointment" is the operative word. Got 22 & 25 Adams LS Hybrids and just did not hit them well at all. Little flat for me and when I did make contact, they liked to hook. Spent a really good chunk of change on them. Very disappointed. That, and I don't think I'll ever get a set of irons blueprinted ever again. No one cares, and most assuredly its money out the window if you go to sell them.
