Clubs you really wanted, got, then hated!

So a few years ago i seen some pics of the new Vega VDC-01 1st proto irons, they looked gorgeous, raw black oxide finish, little to no offset, thin top line, shorter blade length, when they came out i think they were about £2000, well i'll wait till i find some on ebay.

 

After just missing out on a few sets over the years i finally got my hands on some, they arrived last Thursday, and.... i've never been so disappointing in my life, top line isnt that thin, offset is quite noticeable, blade length not the shortest, feel is ok, but not as soft as i was hoping, gutted! so after a day i put them on Ebay and gone back to my trusty TI Taylormade RSi TP's, wife wasnt particularly happy either lol

Honma TW737V, Vizard IB105 X-Stiff. They look OK, just don't have the feel I was expecting. My current gamers are Epon AF302, SPB X-Stiff, so it was an uphill battle to begin with, but the Honma's aren't even close. So much so, I've only hit the 4 and 7 irons, didn't need to hit anything else. However, my TW737 445 Driver is money!

Honma 737v. Really love the brand and thought they’d be an easy transition. Never got used to the feel, perhaps it was my horrid swing....

Toulon Columbus putter, definitely not the clubs fault though. Wanted to be like the cool guys on tour and use an anser style with a rubber band grip. After putting 40+ times a couple rounds, I tried a super stroke switch. After another 20 heavy sighs, I’m going with spider x. I honestly can’t believe how much easier it makes putting for me

The Epon Personal 3's are probably the clubs I was most disappointed in. I was coming from the AF-302's, and the feel of the P3's was a huge letdown. I played well with them for a few months, but they just didn't have that typical soft feel that I was used to from Epon clubs.

The original Adams Tight Lies 5w. I've never hated any other club. There have been a lot of clubs I've gotten that didn't end up matching my absurd hopes, or more commonly, I just couldn't hit well. That's always sad, but that's on me, not the club. I love golf clubs and still have a lot of the ones I'll never use. It's often been the case when I'll take one of them to the range. If I get one good shot out of it, then, it'll have been worth keeping.

The G400 crossover. I had high hopes for it and 1st time on the range it was just OK on the mat and I thought it will be great out on the course. Absolutely could not hit the thing to save my life. I took it on my golf trip to myrtle beach and I was at PGA superstore the first night looking to buy a hybrid. I couldn't find anything cheap enough and had to live with it the rest of the trip. It never got any better!

I like my G400 crossover but only off the tee. I can't hit it off the fairway. An Apex hybrid has displaced it. The hybrid is a lot more versatile. Never had any luck with hybrids and don't know if it's the club or my swing but the Apex hybrid goes straight for me.

The Z765 irons disappointed me. On paper, they are perfect for me. Couldn't hit them well and I got the set for a steal but had to sell them.

Ping i200. Bought JPX 900 Forged several years ago, but the i200 was a close second choice. Recently picked up a mint set of i200s and have played them a half dozen times. Look great in the bag. Definitely more forgiving, even poor swings turnout good. Hit 14 greens last time out. But they just feel blah. Probably keep them awhile, but taking the JPX out next time.
