Mr_Theoo 3,190 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.

revkev 22,877 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Speed blades with Senior Shafts - long story - as it turns out though TMag cheats its iron shafts a bit so that they are actually weaker than advertised - I should be in a S flex with the Speed blades. Quote Ping G410 - turned down to11.25 degrees, neutral setting - Fujikura Motore X R flex Ping G410 5-9 wood Wilson D7 forged 6-GW - Mamiya recoil 460 R flex SCOR 52,60 EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Currently testing Edison wedges to replace SCORS that are wearing out. Also auditions for the 14th spot in the bag. Current possibilities are a Ping 26 degree hybrid - duplicates the 9 wood or 5 iron but would be used almost exclusively for chipping or Tour Exotics 3 wood simply because you can carry 14 clubs and I might occasionally hit it in certain unusual wind conditions once every four or five rounds.

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??

jmwils81 102 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 My worst by far was the Callaway FT-I.... I don't know or want to remember how much crap I got for that square thing. I vaguely remember thinking the square head would help with alignment or something like that.....

markb 243 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. BTW, I was hitting those S2H2's badly when I tried the VAS and hit them better.

It was only $10 shipped to my house but the shame was much more. A part of the downsizing for us was changing the Ebay, PayPal, password. No more late night orders, see the speed blades withe senior shafts, customized so that they could not be returned. I was really desperate with my game this time last year.
