Berg Ryman Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 So, I got to thinking about this the other day after posting my WITB in the WIYB forum (shameless plug). I assume we all do it, but I was wondering what your nicknames for some of your clubs are or have been in the past. I'll start, my putter is the only club that has a nickname. I call it Mjolnir. I know that it would make more sense to have that as the name of a driver, but with the amount of weight my putter carries and that the flatstick is the one that deems you worthy, well it just kinda made sense. I also used to nickname my drivers. The first one was called Red, it was a Wilson Deep Red. My Mellow Yellow 420 went by Sunshine, and for a little bit I called my Nike Moon because of that little grey of the back and because I hit some moonshots with it. Now though, it's just the flatstick. So, I know some of you have cooler stories than that, let's hear em!

Kegger Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The only clubs that have names in my bag are my driver/woods and that's due to the headcovers that I have on them.

My friend calls my 64* pm grind wedge the “cereal killer†cause I win some milk money. I like that. I have built some hot little 5 and 7 woods around here for some of the older guys. Now I use various heads my favorites being the V-Steel and the old Callaway small head S2H2. Both of those are getting rare and hard to find. On this end of the beach they are known as "Stu's Little Heaters" I have actually been experimenting with the hybrids lately and built me a couple of little heater hybrids. Now my 4 hybrid I did not really build since it has a stock shaft but I did tweak it some on weight distribution and balance and did a lie adjustment Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

GolfSpy MPR Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Was thinking that this would be a fun thread topic, but I see that @Berg Ryman beat me to it by a couple of years, so let's do a Throwback Thursday Thread! Anyone have some good nicknames for your clubs? I'd assume that drivers and putters are most named clubs in the bags. For a while, Kirke and I decided that his driver would be named Balrog, which I think is a great driver name that might need to be revived. Still not sure if the name is from this guy: ...or this guy: I think either one works well as a driver. sirchunksalot 1 Quote TS3 9.5°, Tensei Blue CBX T3 15°, Project X HZRDUS Black Epic Super Hybrid 18°, Aerotech Steel Fiber FC HYB S C722 21°, Ventus Blue 8S CBX Iron-Wood 25°, Project X HZRDUS Black 6.0 639 CB, Aldila NV 95 Graphite, 6–PW CBX 48° T22 54° and 60° EAS 4.0, Garsen G-Pro grip TP5x and Tour Response Full WITB with pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamDeen Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Only two club in my bag have nicknames. My driver is named Oh-No, as in Oh No, should of went with a wood. Lastly, my 5 wood. It is probably 10 years old, nicknamed Ol 'Reliable. I can cut it or draw it, flight it, bump and run, or whenever I loose the "feel" I can go back to Ol' Reliable off the box and punch it 240 into the fairway.
