Do some clubs just not work for you?

I've never been able to get a Titleist driver to work for me since I used to have a steel-shafted PT way back in the day. I've tried just about all of them going back to the 910 series, because I always like the look of them, but I can't seem to hit them well at all.

Plus I'm not sure if I am a 2.1 because of the PING clubs or if it is me? My miss is a little heavy with the PING's. I prefer the looks of a smaller profile with a thin sole. Maybe I just need to take the Titleist for a 90 day test drive and if worse comes to worse I can go back to PING.

I'm a jump out of the car and head to the first tee player so the Titleist have me a little concerned.

I am starting to think thicker soles irons are not the best for me.

The SM7's. For whatever reason, turf interaction inside 30 yards just felt..stubby. The exact same grinds in the SM6's for me are money, though, so when I realised it wasn't wholly me I stocked up!

Any Taylormade driver, I always give it a shot at the beginning of year hoping it will be great as I love the looks and feel but they always end up on the bst a week later and For the last few years it’s been back to a ping driver with great success.

I have a hard time with Callaway irons for some reason. I just went through a fitting a couple weeks ago tried the new maveriks nope not for me nice clubs just didn't like them. Ended up with Ping G710s I hit them very well.

I haven't read through much of the posts but from what I notice is there just isn't much difference from clubs within a given category such as blades, player's cavity backs, SGI etc. They are all basically putting out the same clubs with basically the same specs based on how they sell. They then tweak the design a little and then relaunch it as something new and ground breaking. They do this to feel safe because they know that if they are all basically putting out the same gear then sales will boil down to who markets it the best and this is always good for the big companies because it will make it difficult for a small company to break through because everyone is looking for the same thing and scared to venture out and be different. When was the last time a new putter company came out and didn't have an answer style putter? If you think that a $4k answer style putter is better than a 60 dollar one then you to have fallen for the okie doke !! The problem is that the masses have been so brainwashed that an upstart thinking outside the box will fail if they don't have an answer style putter in their stable to get initial sales.

The most important aspects of a golf club are it's total weight followed by it's swing weight followed very distantly by club head, shaft, and grip in any order you chose, followed even further by looks. Total weight and swing weight directly affect how the club is delivered but how many have actually hit a heavier or lighter total weight? How many have actually hit an E4 or C4 swing weight? If you haven't then you have basically fallen for the marketing ploy and you have been done a disservice. If you understand what you like in regards to total and swing weight then you can basically make any club suit your needs. Those two aspects of the club get you 90% of the way to being fit and are by far the most important. So the answer to your question of do some clubs just not work...the answer is yes and no!

Yep, nowadays I cannot hit a 400cc+ driver for the life of me. It's just dumb. Right now I'm crushing a 7° 185cc taylormade burner 260-270. I know I'm giving up a ton of distance but I can at least hit this damn thing.
