Blavin Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 This was quite actually quite easy for me to answer personally, a lot of you may find it surprising I am a huge fan of the QI 10 lineup unfortunately I think their Hybrid lineup sucks. I had M4 for Hybrid that everyone whoever hit it seem to always catch it right on the screws and just nut it like an idiot I “upgraded “ QI 10 higher without hitting it. I did not feel the need to hit it since the driver and 5 wood were so amazing for myself. the big part of that sentence is those are both woods!!! The QI 10 hybrid, I hate it would love to go back to M4 but I donated it to First Tee whenever I purchased the new one. Thankfully it is not a huge financial mistake, although not cheap could be alot worse. Josh Parker and revkev 2 Quote Brandon Lavin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revkev Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Been there done that for certain - had a club that was working great and for some stupid reason replaced it with an ”upgrade.” I’ve done so many stupid things and wasted so much money on golf equipment that I hardly know where to start but I will try this one. Driver - got to test the Ping G400 for MGS - hit it great - I then was in the first Super Speed test group. Went to my fitter who moved me into a heavier shaft - hit it greater. Got picked for the MGS Ping long game test (this is over a 2 plus year span) Ping fitter took out my 3 wood, 4 hybrid and 5 hybrid and put me in G410 5,7,9 woods - those are still in my bag five years later. He also talked me into a G410 with a very light shaft - I was swinging great the day after f that fitting, just nutting ball after ball - outside, track man, Pro VIx’s - ideal conditions. He convinced me that I was going to gain 10 yards with that set up - he was right - unfortunately I had no clue what my missed were going to be - you could see it on shot scope - split even between left and right - my handicapped went from 4 to 7 in three months. Ive gone through two different shafts and 3 different heads in the five years since and only just feel like I’ve got a driver in the bag that I can depend on again. In the meantime my handicap has continued to rise in large part because of a mistake with irons - I’ve corrected that one too but it cost me.

I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course. It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.

Blavin Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 Why do we do stupid stuff like that it’s unbelievable, but it’s all part of this beautiful crazy ass game. Greatest game in the world. Josh Parker 1 Quote Brandon Lavin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerGrey Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I haven't played hybrids in several years as this is the first time using the Qi10 Max 4 23* and I love it, so easy to hit right down the middle 210. Probably my biggest equipment mistake would be getting rid of something before I gave it a fair chance of liking it just because of a bad round...how many times have we ever done that?

Hook DeLoft Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I can relate. I had a set of Mizuno JPX 923 HL irons that fit me well and produced good results. Last month, Callaway was doubling trade in value and with trading in the Mizunos and a driver, there was no cost to me to get a set of Paradym AI Smoke HL irons. Hey! new and shiny for no cash? Gotta do it. After a month, I have put the Callaways up for sale on FB marketplace. The performance is pretty much the same as the Mizunos except I am not as consistent and they just don't feel and sound as good as the Mizunos. I think the consistency issue is probably down to the shafts. Stupid me.
