null Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Bought a set of srixon 545s from ebay. The posting was kind of bare, so I emailed they seller and he confirmed that they were stiff flex and standard everything else. I bought them, but it turns out they were regular flex shafts and an inch over standard length.

sixcat Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Probably not exactly what you're looking for. I left my first set of clubs in a storage building when I left my childhood home at age 17, never to be seen again.

Shankster Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I can honestly say all of my equipment I currently own. I wasn’t fitted for any of it. I’m sure the shafts are too something, grips are the wrong something, and the lie angle is the wrong angle. But probably the worst was some Titleist irons I bought on eBay. I didn’t even look at them, they were supposed to be the 990B but they were the regular 990’s and had completely different shafts than the listing. Ended up liking them anyways, but it was right before my Taylormade set so I was golf dumb for several years.

edingc Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Great idea for a thread. I fell for the whole white driver craze a few years back. Bought an Adams Speedline Super LS driver solely because of the white crown and black face. Really was a sexy club. Couldn't hit it to save my life, though. When I finally bought a used Cobra AMP for cheap last summer, my driving ability went up significantly without much change to my swing. Knowing what I know now, I should have bought the Adams S driver which was the more forgiving of the two offerings from Adams in that line. I know both were in the shop for roughly the same price, but that was also my first adjustable driver, so I think that's ultimately why I chose the Super LS.

cnosil Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Have bought and traded lots of clubs over the years. Worst would have to be something that was pretty short lived. Hybrids - went though a bunch until I tried the titleist ones. We’re total hook machines with the worst being the Hogan’s. Putters - this is my weakness, I love putters so I have gone through a lot. The worst for me would probably be a Seemore putter, the RST works, but would require significant changes to my putting stroke to make it be effective.

GB13 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Pretty much every hybrid I've even owned, I could hook every single one of them 2 fairways over. Other than that, I'd say the cheapo 64* wedge that I couldn't hit now, and I certainly couldn't hit it when I was a 20 handicap.

Kwoodfield Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 So this was a few years back, but I made the mistake of buying the Calloway c4 Driver. This was while the Taylormade 200, Cleveland launcher era. The Calloway c4 had a carbon fiber head. It was ... you know the sales pitch.... it sounded like you were hitting something from outer space. It was a dead driver. It went no where. I regret every red cent I spent on that.

PING Apologist #9 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Easy one for me. When I got the bug for this funny little game back in mid-2017, I didn't have a whole lot of $ to spend. Found an old PING TiSi staff bag and filled it with a set of i3 woods (D, 3, 5 & 7) and a set of Karsten III irons. Awful stuff really. I immediately began selling all of it off to upgrade to gear from at least the early 2010's....Though the G driver I had I really hated because of the sound it made...my ears bleed just remembering it.... fozcycle, MattF, bens197 and 1 other 4 Quote In my DLX Cart Bag: Driver: G410 SFT, set to 9.5*, Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 60, stiff (MGS Official 2019 Tester) 3W: G-Series SF TEC, set to 16*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 5W: G400 SFT, set to 19*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 7W: G410 SFT, set to 22*.

M. Parsons Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Okay, while I was fitted for my current driver, I don't feel that I was properly fitted...but I went through with the purchase anyway. I think that it's really hard to find a good fitter, and I hate being fit in an indoor hitting bay, I just don't believe those numbers that come up on their screen. With all that said, I usually find myself choking down on the grip in order to make club shorter and stiffer. It's my dream to go to Canada and get a full bag fitting from Ian at TXG.

juspoole Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 For me, it was the driver's that I'd purchase and more specifically the shafts accompanying the clubs. I really would only look at shaft stiffness and I just didn't know enough about what I was buying until a couple years ago. I'd say how bad I would hit a club, when in reality it was most likely the shaft combo that didn't fit me at all. fozcycle 1 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: TSI3 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X (17.25*) 3 Hybrid 818 H2 Hybrid Hzrdus RDX Black 6.5 (20.5*) 4 Iron - T200 4 Iron Graphite Design Tour AD IZ X Hybrid Shaft Irons 5-PW: T100-S 5 - GW KBS Tour 130 X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Phantom 5.5 34" Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Taylormade Tour Black Spider 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiftyNiblick Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) I never sold or traded in my clubs. I kept a half-century's worth. Even if a certain model didn't work out as I'd hoped, at least it added to the collection. So I've no regrets. I'm even getting over not being able to play anymore. I'd suck at my age anyway.

Kanoito Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Count me as another victim of the hybrids... Also, I bought an Odyssey White Ice blade style putter on the bay... one day, contact on the face started sounding hollow... took it to the pro shop to check and it turned out to be a counterfeit club...

00sportsman Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Taylormade burner irons. Hated them from the moment I got them. Didn't like the feel, the appearance at address, the grips or the shafts. Bought them cheap as part of a whole bag (a few clubs of which I'm still playing) but free would have been too much to pay. Did I mention I hated them? PING Apologist #9, MattF, fozcycle and 1 other 3 1 Quote I always try to remember that I'm not good enough to get mad!

Brjpool Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Great idea for a thread. For me it has to be a putter and two hybrids I bought from bombtech. I was new to golf and fell for all the hype. In fairness I'll say it is probably more that they weren't fit for me. Definitely didn't last long and I regret buying them.Sent from my Pixel 3 using MyGolfSpy mobile app fozcycle, Bobbers and PING Apologist #9 3 Quote Bryan Pool Ping G20 Driver Bombtech hybrids Ping G20 green dot irons/wedges Cleveland Huntington beach 6 putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaussman1 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Bought a set of srixon 545s from ebay. The posting was kind of bare, so I emailed they seller and he confirmed that they were stiff flex and standard everything else. I bought them, but it turns out they were regular flex shafts and an inch over standard length.So regular flex playing 1/2 flex soft due to length?

CFrazier Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I bought a Scotty thinking it would make me a great putter since I spent $$$ on it. It didn’t.
