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

[junior79]

Any club with a custom stamping.

 

Although I could see it being useful in some situations, like if the alzheimers kicks in you can check your wedges to be reminded of your own name. That's if you didn't stamp it with your favourite caddyshack quote.

 

I played one round with an old guy once. Still not sure if gunga galunga was his real name.

 

Haha what do you think of this idea:

 

I've been a huge Top Gun fan since I was a little kid. I want to get stamped on my wedges this:

 

54*: 2 CLOSE 4 MISSILES

58*: SWITCHING 2 GUNS

 

Love it LOL!!!

I hate irons and wedges covered with damn lead tape! I understand the purpose, but man it makes your clubs look terrible.

[carn9698]

My list consists of;

 

Super stroke putter grips

AP2 irons

Scotties

Pro v1s

Z745 irons

Range finders

Poker chips as ball markers

Bionic gloves(way too thick)

All driving irons

All mini drivers

Any lob wedge above 60 degrees

Nike Cobra Gawdy colours

White belts

Driver shafts longer than 45.25

Iron covers

4 Wheeled Pram push carts

Visors(my heads the wrong shape..)

Black coloured wedges

After market shafts(con city)

Ferrules on ping irons(not a Ping thing)

Titleist fairways(cannot hit them)

2 tone woods

White heads

Sticking to 1 brand only

Low spin irons with jacked lifts that do not hold greens

Lack of fade biased woods and the adjustable ones you can open the face on are too low lofted after opened!

Anything with the name Sub Zero(give me a break)

 

This is my manifesto, I hope you support!

There are some unusual clubs in that list. . .

You are one picky golfer...but yes the AP2 irons are so overrated.

[dunn]

Just picked up set of mp60 irons, as good as my mp5 and mp64, feel same, same sole grind, same forgiveness and $900 cheaper.......this category has changed pretty much 0 from 10 yrs ago.....amazing to hit these old sticks again and see how little if nothing has changed.........I was truly shocked after my 2nd Rd to see the reality........slightly weaker lofts is only thing thing I can see as being different........perform as good as anything and I have hit alot of clubs ....

 

And I had the clubs when they came out, it was just too long ago to remember how they stacked up......I am sure this scenario is same with any other model in this category as well for that timeframe.......nothing has changed cept the lofts

 

It's just the shiny and new fascination that sells irons, not performance.........no

Some have already been mention. The SLDR is the Jekyll and Hyde of golf. The good is so good but the bad is off the planet! (Right for me).

 

Pro V1X

2 Ball putter

Anything Cobra

SLDR

AMT Shafts

45 inch drivers

Diamana Whiteboard

Face insert putters

Vokey K grind

 

Good thread.

 

 

 

[vintage]

Vokeys - felt heavy. Tried several times but still don't understand all the love.

 

Titliest 910 D2 - seems to be a cult classic but it never worked for me. Tried a couple of shafts but invariably a whack with a playing partner's driver would send the ball over the top of mine. Gave up trying to work it out.

 

YES putters - popular a while back but feel was hard IMO. Shame, nice looking putters.

Funny about the ProV1 and ProV1x. I agree, though; didn't like the ProV1 as it span too much, but the 1x seems to work well with me. Good balance of spin and distance.

[is1ander]

Really dislike the looks of the two Cally Apex generations. Also dislike Titleist drivers, way too much spin. Have had great shots with AP2 but slight mishits are very punishing

 

Love my SLDR driver, Vokey wedges, Scotty putters (face to sole wrap-around aluminum insert is a revolution).

[is1ander]

I'll add Mizuno MP to the don't love list. Amazingly unforgiving, feel is good but not worth the pain.

I've have never compared numbers on a launch monitor, it just has a flyer type flight even though it goes the right distance. Just scares me. I guess it's the opposite for you, it must look like the v1 version must look like it balloons for you?

So mostly old school except at the top of the bag...

 

Don't worry, these hand-cuffs don't hurt that badly.

[jslane57]

Vokey Wedges and ProV1x balls. First Vokey wedge I ever owned I "pitched out" a circle around the 8th green. Can't even touch one now. LOL. And the ProV1x feels like a uncontrollable rock to me! I love all other Titleist products, so this is not just a Titleist slam...

[bdcorbitt]

Love AP2's, I'm on my second set.

 

I've hated every TM driver I've ever hit until I found the SLDR, it's outstanding.

[Tcann32]

Vokey wedges would be the biggest one for me.. Seems like everyone loves them, and I just don't care for them.

 

AP2's.. Found them enjoyable to hit in the sense of play, but comparing them to other irons in the same category, they just don't stand out as anything special in feel.

 

Cobra drivers as well. Id love to try the LTD, but outside of that, I haven't cared for the rest. That being said, they're King pro mb's were fantastic.

 

Ping G30 and G30 LS. Hit a fellow lefties at the range the other day and let him try mine. He said he liked his driver more than any driver he had hit before that, now he doesn't like it either. Just felt dead in comparison.

 

JDM has pretty much ruined my taste for many clubs, but there's still some out there that I do really like.

[new2g0lf]

All Ping GXX irons.

 

I had heard all these great things about Ping irons when I first started playing golf and was excited when I rented clubs 5 years ago in Arizona and they handed me a bag full of Ping G10 irons and woods. At the time I had been playing Callaway X-12 irons a family member loaned me so I thought the G10's would a significant improvement, I hated them. I hated the woods, the irons and the wedges. My business partner at the time also rented a set and he hated them as well.

 

For 4 years I refused to even test a Ping iron based on the horrible experience with the G10's. I have tested and liked the G30 SF Tec and G SF Tec driver but still hated the G irons. To date the only Ping irons I like are the i25's, though the iBlades do look nice too.

[nsxguy]

I felt this way about the first M1 I received before I knew they tipped their shafts an inch. I went back to the M1 with an untipped shaft and it was night and day for me.

 

Seriously??? They tip automatically? I had an unhittable 430 m1 earlier this year and the shaft specs were my typical Aldila setup in extra stiff. Ordered from golftown custom with no request for tipping. Someone help me out here, is this true??? My m1 love is not shared with the rest of the masses. Maybe this is the reason?

 

Couple of references but yes, I believe I've read on here that TM routinely tips their driver shafts WITHOUT it being requested.

[the bishop]

I'll echo the comments here regarding the 716 AP2's. The harshest feeling premium iron I think I may have ever hit. Even center face strikes felt awful. Also Vokey wedges (at least the SM6's). Again awful feel. I was a little surprised at how I felt about those because I've had Titleist irons and wedges in the past and liked them a lot. But it had been a while.

[StuartM]

TM M2 driver did nothing for me whatsoever.

[RichieHunt]

Any Nike Driver.

 

Titleist irons - I can hit them, but I just never liked the feel of them. Feel heavy and clunky (outside of the tungsten irons)

 

Adams 9015D - absolutely not

 

Mitsubishi shafts - Never find that right combination of butt and tip stiffness. Usually way to butt stiff for my swing.

[Shifty76]

I've had my AP1 714's for a month or so now, but still can't hit them consistently.

When I did my iron fitting I was hitting the 716 AP1 absolutely fantastic, but since I didn't want to spend $1200 on new clubs I grabbed a used set of 714's for 1/3 of the price since from what I read they played very similar to the 714. Same shaft too.

 

I've had a few that I've hit flush and they looked and felt great, but a lot of my shots with them just feel dead. Not sure what's going on as irons are usually a strong point in my game.

Almost tempted to switch back to my older, smaller Adams A4's.

TM M2 driver did nothing for me whatsoever.

Me neither, hated it! Swapped mine for a B'stone JGR.
