Stupidest Ever Name For a Golf Club

[flintof1]

Surprised this has not been mentioned yet but Hopkins Tour Spoon is by far the dumbest and gets my vote.

[chippa13]

You are aware that "Spoon" was the name for a club before clubs had numbers.

[matchavez]

I particularly think Parsons is rubbish.

Bro you're like really old. A spoon is an earring utensil, or a fishing lure to most.

[Ti-Père BBQ]

My worst:

- TM RocketBallz
- Ping Gorge Wedge
- Callaway Diablo
- Bombtech Grenade (Sorry Sully)
- Krank Formula 5 (This club is very good, not the name)
- Ping Rapture

My best:

- Mack Daddy

Just watch Bagger Vance or Greatest Game Ever Played or the like. I'm not sure what exactly is an earring utensil.

Wilson Killer Whale
[/quote]
I've always love this name. Plus, John Daly was playing that club. You can't beat that

[Gary Gutful]

I don't mind Killer Whale either.

It could have been called something less intimidating like a Lemur or Meerkat. At least a Killer Whale is feisty.

[granite45]

Ping Rapture always bothered me...

Was it the end of the world? An album by Anita Baker? A sexual reference?

Nothing is going upset your pre-shot routine more than thoughts of an impending Armageddon.

The Diablo.

Reminds me of Smokey and The Bandit.

"I'll have a Diablo sammich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it quick cause I'm in a hurry." (Jackie Gleason)

The meaningless numbers are also kind of stupid in my measure.
R-580, R-1, i25, G30

I know there must be some unknown meaning to those numbers but.....

I just realized that golf clubs are actually sort of like cars. Some catchy names - and some that simply don't flow.

Taylormade, Titleist and probably others have used and continue to use the letters TS on their 3+ woods(<15*). TS stands for tour spoon

Bang also the the Bangenstein driver that had FU2 on the cover. All around bad. And the Mellow Yellow.

[Gary Gutful]

If I was manufacturing clubs I would call one the "Crunch-o-saurus"

[matchavez]

I'd so call my driver the HeckYa, and the tour model would be the HellYa.

"Big Bertha" is far and away the most stupid name for a golf club ever. Nothing else is even close. Some marketing guy got incredibly lucky with that one.
[/quote]

Agree.

It is like calling a driver "Large Marge" or "Fat Nessie"...quite funny that it is now mentioned without anyone batting an eyelid.
[/quote]

There actually was a "Large Marge" driver...a Big Bertha clone from the 90's. I had one that I assembled on a Dynamic Gold steel X100 shaft. Was my driver for many years...

Two questions

1: Does it help if you yell "HECK YEA" at impact?

2: Will the follow up be FreakYa?

The FreakYa will be released three months later and add 17 freakin yards*.

(yards based on calculation where JimBob uses meters)

[matchavez]

For anyone wondering, JimBob is my tester. Bubba was already taken, so I got my own Hillbilly Hammer.

[b]Rocketballz Stage 2[/b], wtf?! Exit stage right.
I hope I don't [b]Gorge[/b] my wedge shot.
Guys over 50 saying "[b]Mack Daddy[/b]".
The [b]Rapture[/b] and [b]Diablo[/b] had the God Squad a bit concerned about their club choice.
The [b]SUMO[/b] should have come with a diaper styled head cover.
[b]Big Bertha Alpha 816 Double Black Diamond[/b]. We've got a WWI Howitzer reference, a call sign code for the letter "A", a model number depicting the year of introduction and a skiing reference. Anything else we could add?
[b]SRIXON[/b], that's not a word or a name. It's an amalgamation of letters formed together making us think it should be pronounced as a word or name. In Scrabble, I would challenge it!

Yes yes.
Before [s]I got sponsored[/s] became sponsor of Titleist, Callaway, Tailormade and Scratch I got myself some BANG Woods.
The Bang-o-Matic driver.
And BANG FW Woods.

Have to admit though that the FW Woods were really good.

I also got a driver called So-Loooong.

BANG has many wondefull names. Take your pick:

yep. I think it was $25 for the head, $9 for the shaft and $2 for the grip -- very serviceable "Big Bertha" for less than $40!
