Patriot Clubs Anyone?

[fozcycle 10,842]

 

Has anyone heard of Patriot Golf?

 

I received an email this week with a B2 Bomber Driver offer for trying their 3/5/7 fairway woods. The driver is yours to keep for free and the fairway woods sell for $125/club after a 60 day trial. They come with AccuFlex Long Drive graphite shafts.

 

Kinda sounds like “Warrior Golf”......

edit :    i guess this patriot-golf not to be confused with patriot golf that still exists and used to sell a lot of Bang, SMT, Alpha or Alpha reaction clubheads when those companies were in their hey day....

interesting the material of the driver head is never mentioned...

Huh. I got an email from them this week too, but it was to send me a sleeve each of Cut Red and Cut Grey balls, just pay shipping. I hadn't heard of Patriot and looking through their website didn't inspire a lot of confidence. (Bonus: I'm not really in the market to pay shipping for two sleeves of balls where I'm going to immediately relegate one of the sleeves to my shag bag.)

I actually bough the warrior pitching wedge, it was , well, how can I say this and be kind,,,,, incredibly awful in just about every way you can judge a club,,, kept getting junk mail and telemarketing calls from them up to the time I moved.

Today I got an email for a different driver...

That driver looks exactly like one of those Diamond Tour Golf " Turner" clone TM heads as did the first one you posted. but again the first one you posted did look somewhat like a Titleist 910 915 clone too. I would not touch that whole deal with a 20 foot pole

Well depends on who the player is. I have cut some clone clubs apart and see how they are made. They are thinner in what I call the stress support area and are made out of much cheaper pot metal. Actually a slow swing player may get a little more out of them with face flex etc and they may last a while as far as cracking. Now if one of these young bucks with a 120+ SS could cave one in if not explode it in a few shots. I have seen more than one I have cut apart with air bubbles in the casting due to more than likely gasses given off the casting process using cheap metal or the process itself. Bottom line is you get what you pay for

Just found a "Heater B2" Driver on ebay.......looks identical to the Patriot B2 Bomber.

These are the company formerly known as TaylorFit RBZ Rocketballz clones. You can get them for around $50 a club on eBay (including shipping). Likely to be as playable as any clones out there.

I guess they now want to prey on Vets.

Saw on eBay that a supplier of these was close to me, so I made a deal to pick up a hybrid directly at a little discount. This place (Monark) imports and wholesaled the heads along with building for individual sale as well, so I’m guessing the Warrior Golf-esque adverts in the OP come from someone who buys wholesale from an importer like this.

I never hit my 3 wood and I was looking for a low lofted hybrid with a graphite shaft (my “iron replacement” hybrids are steel), so I’m actually semi-excited to try hitting this 15*. First off, this club is heavy, very much a chunky monkey. The club head is about halfway between a hybrid and fairway wood IMO. Shaft also strikes me as thicker than normal (no brand). I’ll put this in the bag and see how it goes!

I got the same offer emailed to me. Interestingly, it came from Hole19 (which is my golfapp of choice) which makes me have mixed feelings about Hole19...but that's another topic. Anyways, I have zero expectation that any of these clubs are worth their weight in feces but I was intrigued by the ridiculousness of the email and the way they discuss the "technology" without actually saying anything real.

So I gave them a call to learn more. I'm glad I did because it was comedic gold. The sales rep was reading off a script and saying things like "[insert name] I hope you're prepared to CRUSH the ball", "these clubs are personally crafted to your specifications by our master club fitter, who is an AMERICAN PATRIOT", "get ready to GRIP IT AND RIP IT like never before!" I felt bad for the guy because I could tell he knew how ridiculous it all was but he still had to say it. He was a good sport though and we were almost laughing together about it by the end. 

Anyways, after all that, I told him he did a good job coping with what seemed like a tough gig and I agreed to test the driver and fairway woods because 1) I just think it's fun to test and review golf stuff, 2) I have high swing speed so think it will be fun to see how these things hold up, and 3) unless it's a really nasty scam, it seems like there is minimal risk to me - I'll test them, send them back, and have paid $20 in shipping to have had some fun with the whole experience and hang onto a (presumably crappy) driver that I can give to a friend who's just starting to get into learning golf and doesn't have a full set. 

So, long story short, I'm not expecting much here but will be happy to share a review (and hopefully some laughs) whenever these things arrive!
