How fast did you sell that “new” club *COvid edition*

Well not that I really needed a new 3 wood, but I recently purchased a g400 3 wood (that I thought would complement my driver) but my faithful gamer (Cleveland dst wood) has rightfully retained its spot until further notice. I swung it a couple times and couldn’t get past the loud tingy hit. It did well off the deck (where I converted the third shot for a birdie on a par 5) but off the tee this thing was not making me feel like I caught it great cause the sound was different than my Cleveland (solid twack noise)

needless to say I sold it just the other day after a round of golf (hit it less than 5 times total while owning it). Well fellas how did those purchases turn out. For me that was 4 days total of owning it.

What about you guys? How long did you keep a club and turn it around? (Pictures are optional, just wanted to share club)

Sadly, I'm playing my first round in six weeks tomorrow with 12/14 new clubs *** are clubs I already had. Even have a new bag!

Driver - 9* Ping G410 LST Hzrdus Yellow 63X

FW - 14.5 Ping G410 LST Fuji Pro 2.0 TS 7X

Hyb - 19* Titleist 818 H1 Hzrdus Black HC 85X ***

Utl - 20* Srixon U85 20* Tour AD 95X (swap in or out depending on course) ***

Irons - 4-PW Taylormade P760 PX LZ 6.5 (still have my Srixon z745 w/ TI X100 but giving the TM a try for fun)

Wedges - 50 & 56 Vokey Forged F and M TI S400 & 60 Wilson Hi Toe TI S400

Putter - Byron Morgan DH89

Bought a 9* SIM head. Used it for 1 range session and then sold it. Hit maybe 20 balls and found 9* just isn’t for me.

I've got a new driver and full suite of new wedges coming my way. My PXG 3 wood is also new but i bought that in December so I hadn't been able to it. I have confidence in the driver and wedges as I know these styles and that usually work for me. It's just going to be the shaft that is going to be fun!

Bought a 9* Rogue SZ and played it for 1 round and 2 range sessions. Sold it quickly.

Bought some i25 irons as I was panicking and convinced myself I'd need more forgiveness. I have already sold them and did not even hit them.

I bought a 12* Taylormade M6 with a senior shaft with my Christmas gift cards in January. I somehow convinced myself that was right for my swing. It didn't work well at all so I finally sold it last weekend. I bought a 10.5* Ping G400 with a regular shaft and it's working well so far. A friend has one and he let me play with his club before I bought mine. It's clear I should have demoed the M6. I won't buy another driver unless I get to play a round with it (or a demo).

Ping iblade. Lasted 15 holes. I’m thinking it was the DG s300 shafts. Felt terrible, even for Ping standards. I guess once you go forged you don’t go back.

added one club during the break. a cobra f6 baffler. 2 rounds with it so far and its a contender to stay in the bag

underrated.

Everything in my sig is new for this season, and I've picked up another 2 irons sets as well. Our season just started today, but no local ranges, so haven't hit anything yet, so things will stick around for at least a little bit longer.

wow, did you just leave after or finish er up ??

putters are very temperamental just like a good 3w. I definitely learned that this time around

Haha maybe its an Ontario thing! No idea how I ended up with so much change. Anyways, shot 76 today first round out after a month or so off the course. Felt great to be out there - 6 hour round though! I'll be interested to hear how you like your TM set. I'm vocally anti-TM but I really am enjoying these P760 I picked up. We are playing a very similar set as the 760 is like a combo of the 750 and 770 in one set.

anything to get them scores down! Lol I got some left over grips and am just going to regrip to trick myself into it being a “new” club. ?

When I committed to selling that wood, I was playing at a packed course and had a lot of stoppages. The time was getting to 4 hours I derailed my swing after going birdie par par. I couldn’t imagine waiting and playing out to 6 hours ??

Looking forward to getting them out to see how they play. Been in S400s for quite a few years now after dropping down from X100s, so no worries on that. If they don't work out, I have a 5-W set of S55s waiting and a set of iBlades in the mail from BC that will get here next week.

Srizon 545 driver... Regular Flex just to whippy. Hit about 20 drives at the range.

Lol, I should have been more specific, one of the courses I frequent has a 3 hole practice area. I usually go around it 2-3 times. So I had played 9 holes one day and only made it 6 holes the next day and said enough.

2020 Scotty Cameron Special Select Newport 2 here.

Just no.

Very overrated putters, and had no chance against my EVNroll.

I found them weirdly clicky this go around? Was excited to see Scotty move away from the inserts but the feel did not do it for me like I thought it would. First round out with my Byron DH89 I sank a birdie on my first hole (great way to start the season!) and had 29 putts. Not bad considering!

Just shafted a TI g410 plus head and played with it yesterday for the first time. After the first drive I knew it wasn’t for me. Just spins way too much, even though I love the feel.

I dodged a bullet this weekend nearly ordering an Odyssey Toulon putter from Callaway pre-owned without testing it in store. Was drawn in by a 35% off deal and lately I’ve been jumping back and forth between my Black i series no. 9 and my ProType no. 9... The PGA Tour SS just reopened so I made my way down and tried it out. Walked out very happy I didn’t give in to Friday night beers telling me to click the order button. I got to thinking about it, and it turns out my putting woes have only happened since I put the Z-Star XV in play for the past month. Great off the driver and irons, but I just cant get used to it off the putter, even with an insert. Time to dump that ball and go back to something with better feel.

do you think a different shaft combo might change that?

Head/ball have the biggest impact on spin IMO. Shaft is only going to change things slightly (few hundred RPM max). Forward hot melt could be the ticket though!

I like them evnrolls I don’t mind either finish but I’ve been putting very noicely, so I’ve been looking at putters like a usual ho but I know I don’t need it.

I don’t know about you but the Bridgestone tour b rx have been great across all clubs for me. Distance and spin have been great like any premium ball. Worth a look if you’re interested. I’ve been looking at the black series with the gss insert, but haven’t found many in good condition. Those Toulons weren’t too bad, I like the click I hear rolling one, but it’s always great to turn to those reliable clubs.

Definitely would’ve needed some type of hook up if I stuck to that g400 wood. I love a good Sharp twack Sound

The LST 410 I had is the same. Ping woods make a very different noise. Though I LOVE the noise of my 410 LST. So solid. The 410 LST FW is more hollow and tinny sound. Absolutely sends it though!

Going to test out the Bridgestone X and XS next
