Best:

1) Crush Resistant Practice Balls, perfect for practicing chips and pitches around the house while exercising the pup simultaneously 

2) Vessel Player IV Pro Stand, by far the best carry experience I’ve ever had even with mainline tour stand bags

3) GFore Galavan2r Golf shoes, so comfortable straight out of the box and great looks

4) Scotty Cameron Tei3 Longneck Newport 2, my dream putter for sure can’t wait to eventually get it refurbished 

5) Bettinardi HLX 3.0 Wedges Blue Smoke Finish, absolute beauties and perform great, but I feel like I never see them!

Worst:

1) Odyssey White Hot EXO Rossie, great looking  just felt like I was hitting marshmallows off the face

2) Callaway Epic Flash Sub Zero Triple Diamond, first off what a mouthful, second definitely hit bombs but the sound was atrocious

3) An unpaid fitting, my newbie golf self was so eager to finally get new clubs and the fitter just wanted to sell so just ended up getting something that didn’t work for me at all

4)Frogger club brush, the actual brush itself is amazing, absolutely love it. The reason this is in worst is because of the clip attachment, idk if it’s just me but I lost 2 in back to back rounds. 

5) Golf Pride Align Grips, I loved the concept and got them put on my gamers, ended up hating the feeling of the ridge in my hands, especially on wedges when manipulating the club face at set up 
 

 

For a brush I have one of the regular red ones, broke the handle, now it is just the brush head and I put it in my pocket most of the time.

Worst:

Can't remember who made them but there was a driver that had an almost hollow center; there was a concave opening about the size of half a golf ball.  Sounded bad, performed worse.

 

Was it one of the Cleveland Hibore models?

YES!!  That's the one. 

In looking for this thing I ran across a list of "worst irons ever designed" and wouldn't you know it, the Ping Zing 2's I had and the Slingshot irons I had both made the list...

Can I pick 'em or what???
