Opinions on Bang and Geek?


CallMeStitch

Recommended Posts

I'm specifically comparing/contrasting the (1.) Geek Golf No Brainer & (2.) Fail-Safe 3 models vs. the (3.) Bang Mellow Yellow 420 & the (4.) Pink-O-Matic (i.e. Bang-O-Matic) models. Looking to chose one or two of these as fitting clubs, has anybody used them? Results? Do any of these sound atrocious like a Hi-Bore or a Sumo at impact? Any feedback from the Hivemind would be appreciated. Thank you as always in advance to the community for sharing and for growing the game.

I have a Geek 9 deg. "Dot-Com-This" driver. It looks and sounds nice...pretty mellow crack sound when hit. Low spin head. Not sure if this helps as it is not one of the drivers that you listed but I have not hit any of the others. I have heard good things about the Fail-Safe and Bang-o-matic but I have never personally hit them. Good luck!

Thanks rizz.

I ended up just pulling the trigger on the Mellow Yellow 420, namely because I liked the looks and specs, notably the much flatter lie angle and sub-200G weight. I am so glad I went with this. I built it long (just under 47") and this head is really a performer. Excellent sound and feel, the distance is fantastic (without the benefit of a launch monitor, I can tell you that my ball flight and spin rate are better than they ever have been before). Of course also, hats off to the Accuflex Vizion LD50 shaft: this is my first experience with Accuflex and I am beyond pleased.

Nice! The Mellow Yellow looks really awesome. I am glad you are liking it. They definitely seam to be lower spinning heads...the weight feels forward and center at least on the dot-com-this. I think a lot of the long drivers use it.

47"...now that is a stick!!! I cut my drivers down to 44.5" and I am 6'-2" about 250 lbs. I am going to have to look into that Accuflex shafts. I am a big time tinkerer when it comes to clubs...I have a ton of different driver shafts that I swap in and out just to see what I kind of numbers I can get. I also like the fact that the Mellow Yellow is a 420cc head. I tend to like the 430 to 440cc heads myself.

Good luck with the new driver...hit it well and hard!!

Rock on, rizz.

I must admit, this driver is a little ridiculous...swinging it is akin to trying to hold a rattlesnake, chuckle.

In short, I am quite tired of having woods and long irons into the greens all the time...I'd rather be attacking with something like 6-iron or below...better yet a wedge, nah'mean? So, I've committed to core training for the next few months while my arm surgeries heal up: I'll need much better balance to wrangle this thing. However, early tests show this combo can be worked in both directions and is stupid-long for me. Can't hardly wait.

Anyway, cheers and happy tinkering (as always you should be!).

IIRC that MY head dates back to the early 2000's. I had one once but honestly don't remember what I thought of it. Most of the heads listed on the Bang website have been around for 10yrs.

I gamed a BANG Storm 15 or so years ago and it was a really good driver. I became interested after a couple playing partners were using the Bang-O-Matic and killing the ball. They were the shiz in their day.

 

 

The answer to better golf is work your butt off and learn how to hit it better, farther, and make more putts.
