Worst driver you've ever owned or hit

Though I'd ask this so let's hear it, what's the worst driver you've ever owned or hit? For me the worst driver I've hit would be the taylormade burner 3.0, thing sounded like it was hitting it was hitting an empty coke can on impact, never could find a sweet spot on it at all either

I almost got on a fight at a range one night because of a loud a** cobra demo I was hitting. It was like 2003-2004 and some old guy got so mad at me he wanted to fight over it. He got really mad when I intentionally started hitting flops into the overhanging roof above the stalls once he simmered down over the driver.

Back on subject worst driver ever? Adams tight lies ST a friend owned. Complete garbage.

had the same thing happen to me when i started playing golf. I had a Killer Bee driver. It sounded like a ball hitting an aluminum baseball bat. Old boys on the range didn't like it. My buddy gave me a hand me down diablo octane and it now collects dust.

Hogan persimmon from 1977-78 or so. Beautiful head, but no sweetspot that I ever found. Not nearly as good as my Keller laminate. Semi-modern, J's Professional Weapon, actually liked the C4, sounded and felt like wood. Superquad, for me, nothing but moonball hooks, no matter what I did with the weights. Never bought or could stand the sound of the square Nike or any Cobra,

Nike Covert Tour 1.0 for accuracy. The club had less than 0 feel as to where you hit it on the face and sprayed the ball left and right like I've never seen.

Cleveland HiBore XLS for distance. I got one when I was 20 so younger and a little stronger. I remember absolutely flushing a drive like my second round I had it, the ball went over a hill and I thought it would be wayyyyy down there. Got to it, did the math in my head quickly for a whopping 263. Immediate "uh-oh" moment.

Callaway c4 I think. The first composite head callaway ever made. Oh so short and oh so bad.

That callaway squareheaded nonsense was bad too.

When I worked in golf retail, we carried the Air Force 1 driver that was nitrogen filled. That was by far the worse feeling/sounding/performing driver I have ever tried..and I have hit the Hammer!

Spent a mint buying an inordinate amount of shafts to go into the Titleist 913 but nothing worked, so I cut my losses after about £1400 worth of shafts. Lol.

Settled on last years Callaway X Hot Pro, and this year the Bio Cell, both have performed great for me.

The 913 was the worst for me I ever tried as well.

J's Professional Weapon was supposed to be the next great thing. I made the mistake of buying 9* instead of 10.5* - all I could hit was duck hooks.
SLDR did nothing for me when I tried one.
Geek L'il bastxxx - big expectations, nothing delivered.

Callaway FT-IQ. Sounded awful, felt awful and didn't go anywhere or straight. I persisted with that rubbish for six whole months!

Ping G25. Never got used to the look at address, gigantic head hard to square to path, not very tolerant of misses high or low on the face, and required OSHA approved double hearing protection to hit balls on range.
