Clubs everyone else loves, and you don't: ie Apex CF16

[ZA206]

Where to start.... Over-hyped stuff I can't stand:

Titleist drivers...

Callaway balls

Nike golf clubs or balls (love their clothes)

2-ball putter

Face Insert putters (all of them)

Super Stroke putter grips

 

Gimme some time, I'll think of a lot more....

 

ZA

[Double Dutch]

White drivers

Any lob wedge

3-woods. These cost me more they help me. Plus it bugs me that the second longest club in my bag isn't called 2. I realise this is my issue, not the OEM's

Might have been the shafts but they did not work for me. Georgeous to look at but hit the ball on a terrible trajectory.

[skraly]

The Hammer X has a cult like following on here

 

It was too hooky for me, even in the tour issue version

I put a Matrix Ozik TP6HD in mine tour issued Hammer X. I know $1000 is a lot to pay for a shaft but it really brought this driver to life. I'm averaging 365 off of the tee and that's carry distance. With roll out I'm getting an easy 405-410. Dispersion is great too. The last 10 rounds I have hit 97% of the fairways and the bad ones were only off by a couple of yards. I highly recommend it!

[Jonesy]

I'm really not a fan of the last few generations of the Pro V/X, they are so firm off the putter and really don't do anything special for the price.

 

AP2 irons... Absolutely horrible things, they literally have no feel.

 

Cleveland wedges, the leading edge is so rounded that if I don't blade the shot I'm digging a trench. just cannot get past the look of these things.

[No_Catchy_Nickname]

VSteel. Flame suit on, sorry not sorry.

 

I have couple of V-steels--a 7w which is pretty much in my bag permanently, and 4w which is a backup to my regular 4w--and I can see where you're coming from.

They are not the easiest to hit, but when hit right they feel so good. I've hit some beauties this season with the 7w, but if I had a 230 yard shot over water, well I wouldn't risk it with the V-steel.

365 off the tee. What are you the Hulk?

went too low for me. Look nice no performance.

[The Mad Bomber]

Pretty much every TaylorMade driver since the Burner Bubble. I'm not a hater, I just haven't liked any of them.

[Teekman]

Miura ... yes I said it, how can you play something that you don't know you even hit the ball.

That buttery feel that everyone raves about actually was the worst thing ever.

[bnye]

Well this topic is perfect for Mizuno. Mizuno has been loved by some of the worst golfers and yet even some of the medicore golfers across this great world.. When ever someone brings up Mizuno's as "great" all the giggles start. . Lets face it Mizunos are the walmart clubs of golf, which is fine .

 

...You are being sarcastic right? The wal-mart clubs of golf? That's one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever come across on this site. Mizuno has always made some of the best forged blades around and will continue to do so. Ever noticed how you rarely ever see any sort of commercials or advertisement for their MP lines? It's because the clubs sell themselves due to their quality...

365 average carry, and 405-410 roll out?

 

:cheesy: I hope no one thinks this guy is serious.

[coreyhr]

Put me in the Super Stroke and Ping hater group. I've just never liked the feel at all of Ping drivers. I know plenty of people that hit them a mile, but they just never worked for me.

[jah7838]

For me it's Pro V1s, Scotty Cameron Putters, and Callaway drivers. I just don't get along with the Pro V1s. There are other quality balls for less that perform just as good. Same thing with Scotty Cameron putters. You can find other putters that can be customized for a little more or a little less depending on your price point that feel better, like Kingston putters. I got one for a lot less than an OTR Scotty for Christmas, and it feels way better to me. As far as Callaway drivers, I just don't like the looks of them. They are good drivers, but just ugly to me.

[holbrook1986]

why do i not hear anything about the HAMMER!!! by far the worst club i have ever hit lol. Honestly i only hit it because i found one laying around our golf shop and was curious if it would sound like a missle or a F16. Neither happened and i was sorely disappointed :( ooooo....... lets not foget PING CRAZ-E putters. what a foul looking putter

[Erock]

Jetspeed Driver for me. Lot of love on here for it's forgiveness, etc. so I tried it and switched back to SLDR after a range session.

[Rdarling18]

I always wanted to love the titelist drivers but oh my good lord they make an awful sound imho, I just can't do it.

[Gnomesteel]

Vokey wedges. I've just never liked them.

[CallTaylor]

I thought of one more....Golf Pride NDMC Grips. These are popular as hell, but I have no idea why. Horrible!!! Hahaha. Bring on the comments....

[DaBears]

I know folks sleep with their SLDR, but to me it felt like having a brick tied to the end of the shaft. Just awful feedback for me.

I felt the same way when i first hit it, but that damp fell appeals to my ears as i don't like a loud driver

[mx-20]

Titleist drivers and irons

NDMC grips

Cleveland wedges

[elwhippy]

Scotty putters. Just too soft for our slow greens and artificially high prices. I see a lot of very bad putters using Cameron models and much better players with battered Ping, Yes, Odyssey and TM putters....beautifully made but no better performance.

[jmck]

White drivers (or orange, red, blue, or pink)

Adams proto/peanut/whatever hybrids

Titleist forgings

Post-200 series Vokeys

Mallet putters

Face balanced putters

NDMC grips

[Yeballix]

Taylormade R15 driver, the ball goes a mile but has the feel and feedback of a steel girder.

I kept checking the face had not cracked after some shots so hard was the feel of the ball off the face.

Love the feel of the titleist drivers but they spin like a top for me. Just drop out of the sky post apex. Tried lots of different shafts to no avail.

[Dpavs]

Any Taylormade or Ping driver in the last 5 years... not sure why, but they just never work for me.

[Bachmjo]

Second the jet speed driver. I own one. When hit flush it is a rocket ship. Anything less than perfect contact is completely uncontrollable.

[DatSliceDoe]

Callaway Drivers, Titliest Drivers and Ping (except the S55) I just don't get it.

[Cons]

Mizuno irons. Never met a set I liked. I usually see too much offset. Maybe its just me.. but that screws with someone whose miss is hook.

[CallTaylor]

Ok. This will really upset some people....Cobra fly z+ drivers, King LTD Driver, F6+ and Pro drivers. And this is coming from a previous to those Cobra woods fan. Those 3 drivers tried with numerous shafts. They were shorter than most, performed worse than most, AND felt and sounded like Crap!!! Speed Channel=Garbage ?

[JBent9610]

Ping G25 irons

 

I think they're some of the best looking SGI irons, but they felt too light.

[Skillet]

I'm not gonna point to a particular brand or model of club, but rather an epidemic of "tiny" proportions. The thing that has caused me to miss out on more great deals on here than I can count. The thing that despite it's intended practicality, still sucks the life out of me. I'm speaking of the 44 or 44.5 inch driver. That's right, I said it. Everyone feel free to pile on about how much more control you get and how that's way more important than a couple extra yards. Hogwash! For God sakes people, please just leave your driver 45 or longer and choke down. It's the same thing and you don't destroy the hopes and dreams of people that click on your bst link with excitement only to be devastated that the driver they so desperately wanted is 3 wood length and so close to your face at address you can see your reflection in it. Please, I beg, stop the madness my fellow brothers. Ride up and be all you can be. Grasp that 45.5 inches of pure whippin stick and swing it like you know what you're doing. And if you find yourself on that tight par 4 with no bailout, simply slide your hands down a half inch or grab a 3 wood, because once you cut that shaft guess what: I can't choke my way back up the length that isn't there! God bless and have a good night
