Txstcatman 88 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 From childhood: Wilson Blue Ridge golf balls my dad and I bought together. What I think of whenever someone describes a ball as a "marshmallow". As an adult: Cleveland CG14 wedges and brush tees. Never again! 1 Quote Bag One: '16 M2, Tour AD-GP 7S XTD Ti 15*, Tour AD-GT 8S RBZ Stage2 Tour Issue 18.5* hybrid, Matrix Ozik Altus 85S Wilson FG Tour F5 21* hybrid, stock MP-H5 4-PW, Project X 5.5 MP-T5, 51/08, Project X 5.5 MP-T5, 58/10, DG Spinner 2012 Newport2, 34" Link to post Share on other sites
TheHacker 3 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The only one was a 56 degree wedge. I don't know what it is about that degree, but still can't hit it to this day. Also bought a 54 degree wedge I hit the same distance as a 52 but needed better gaps. Ended up getting a 52 and 58 and it's really been about the best spread I can ask without gaming a 56. Probably its the bounce. 56 deg wedges are usually designed to be a sand wedge with rather substantial bounce. Unless you are hitting it off very fluffy lie or soft sand, you just may not like it very much. I'm just guessing.

HighFade 1,233 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I bought a new Cleveland Classic. Was supposed to be low spin. I think it was actually no spin. I couldn't get it more than 20 feet high. Quote There is no spoon.

mr_divots 247 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Years ago when I first really started "getting into" golf again in my 20's, I thought I needed gadgets. I am ashamed to admit to purchasing one of those "Check-Go" golf ball spinners that was supposed to identify the heavy side of the ball and it equator. It did one thing very well: make a sharpie marker mess out of a ball. Right now, its still tied with the Adams LS hybrids as my WORST purchase EVER. 1 Quote "Glute Activator" *Please accept my contributions of participation and intellectual property sharing as substitute for monetary renumeration.

westy 523 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Cleveland cg15 wedges weren't good for me, loved my cg10's as well....... Howson Hippo driver.....

carry&roll 0 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I own the Hammer by Jack Hamm......alcohol and an eBay password are not a good mix. It was only $10 shipped to my house but the shame was much more. Gotta disagree. In 2007 At the region 4 Remax LD qualifier in Ohio I hit 327 (old super senior division) with a SuperPro, the USGA legal Hammer driver head. Those clubs do perform, you just have to give them a chance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They did work on Balata balls in the old days, but with modern solid core balls not at all. Balata weren't perfectly symetrical in their weight distribution so the balls would return to the same axis of rotation that favored the imbalance every time, but once the era of the symetrical ProV arrived, it was game over for the Check N Go. 1 Quote bag - SunMountain Synch with Ogio Synergy X4 cartdriver - Optiforce 440, Paderson Kevlar Green stiff 46.5"fwoods - Jetspeed, 3HL regularirons - Speedblades 3-8, 85g stiff steel, 2 upwedges - Scor 40, 45, 50, 54, 58putter - Ketsch 35" slight arc, SuperStroke 2.0 mid-slimball - ProV1x Link to post Share on other sites

Kor.A.Door 5,839 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I don't really have any except for the clubs that I bought and then realized that either they sucked or I sucked, and they were the clubs that pointed me in the right direction, so even though they may have been bad purchases, they pointed me to you, or I mean to my current bag. Worst purchase, luckily it was a demo purchase, but it was the R1, worst driver ever Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to post Share on other sites
mbrodeur86 379 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 For me, I have to say the Wilson Staff spine driver. Man, that thing sounded like I was hitting a softball lol. Other than that, the Cobra ZL driver. It was good for one season and the next I lost at least 50 yards off the tee. It's like the head went dead. A bionik putter I had custom made. I like soft milled putters and that thing was very harsh feeling.

RoverRick 1,545 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have spent a lot of money and effort trying to find the perfect fairway metals and hybrids. It turns out that Titleist 980F's are some of the longest and most accurate I have ever hit. I just had to learn to make good swings with them and they will take care of the rest.

It was funny...I was able to sell the dang thing on Ebay and almost got my money back on it. I wish clubs had as good a resale value these days! LOL! They reminded my of the school fair as a kid. They'd have those paint splatter paintings you could make dropping paint on a rotating piece of cardboard. Same effect. ha!
