What GolfWRXers are saying about the clubs they regret selling
In our forums, our members have been discussing the clubs they should never have let go. WRXer ‘Whit1969’ kicked off the thread with his JPX 900 Forged irons which he has been trying to replace ever since, and fellow members have been getting involved with their remorseful stories.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Kentendo: “I too know what it is like to be a stupid. I sold a mint Cameron Catalina and Studio Design 5 about 8 years ago. My logic was ‘I’ll never use them so I might as well get some cash’. I can’t touch one for anywhere close to what I sold them for or in that condition. Hopefully some come your way for not too much more money, but you and I both know you will just have to cough it up to replace them.”
- America: “Shot the four best rounds of my life with a set of Ping i25’s. Went to a Titleist fitting event and dude sold me on a set of AP2s. Haven’t broken 72 since. High numbers went higher. Been looking ever since. They just had the magic.”
- getitdaily: “I once gave away a hybrid that I really liked because I figured I was going to get a smaller “player’s” hybrid and work balls into pins from 225….you know because I’m a tour player and all. After about 4 hybrid heads over a year, I started to loathe that I gave the hybrid away. It was an original rbz tour 3. I figured I was never going to find a hybrid like it again. Well, a few weeks of searching eBay and one popped up…barely a ball mark on the face, for….$40. I snatched it up, and it’s been in the bag for over a year. Keep your head up; you’ll find a good set. You may just have to piece together heads and shafts…and sign for the right score.”
- Stinger83: “I still look on eBay for a cheap used set of Fourteen TB/FH 1000’s cuz I sold mine and immediately regretted it.”
- naj595: “My only regret was selling the set of Srixon 765s I bought a few years ago for a great price. I rationalized that the Modus 130s were just too heavy for me and flipped them for a good profit. Kicking myself to this day. Still can’t find a set for the price I paid. I’ll never forget the feeling of that pured 4 iron I hit off of the ninth tee and have yet to find a club that replicates that feel. I’m sure I’ll end up with a backup set of 785s at some point.”

Welcome to the family: TaylorMade launches PUDI and PDHY utility irons
TaylorMade is continuing its UDI/DHY series with the successor to the Stealth UDI and DHY utility irons: PUDI and PDHY (which the company styles as P·UDI and P·DHY). TaylorMade is folding the designs in with its P Series of irons.
TaylorMade outlined the process of developing its new utilities this way. The company started with the data on utility iron usage. Not surprisingly, better players — i.e. those who generate more clubhead speed and strike the ball more precisely — were found to gravitate toward the UDI model. DHY usage, however, covered a wider swath than the company might have expected with six-to-18 handicappers found to be bagging the club.
TaylorMade also found that the majority of golfers playing UDI or DHY utilities were playing P Series irons at the top of their iron configurations.
Can you see where this is going?
Matt Bovee, Director of Product Creation, Iron and Wedge at TaylorMade: “As we look to the future, beyond the tech and the design language, we are excited about repositioning our utility irons into the P·Series family. P·UDI is an easy pair for players that currently play P·Series product and P·DHY is an extremely forgiving option for players of all skill levels. It is a natural fit to give these players the performance in this category that they are looking for.”

TaylorMade PUDI
Crafted with tour player input, TaylorMade sought to develop a confidence-inspiring utility iron that blends with the rest of the P Series irons. Also of note: Interestingly, the PUDI has a more compact head than the P790.
In comparison to past UDI products, the PUDI has a more traditional iron shape, slimmer toplines, and less offset with a little of the backbar visible at address.
TaylorMade PDHY
Larger in profile than the PUDI, the PDHY seeks to position center of gravity (CG) lower in the club for ease of launch. The toe height is larger and the profile is larger at address — roughly five millimeters longer than PUDI — the sole of the club is wider for improved forgiveness.
Club Junkie’s take
Golfers who feel like they are missing something at the top of the bag could find the PUDI or PDHY a great option. The look of the PUDI should fit the most discerning eye with a more compact look, less offset, and a thinner topline. If you want a little more confidence looking down the P-DHY will be slightly larger while still being a good-looking utility iron.
For being small packages both models pack a pretty good punch with fast ball speeds, even off-center. The feel is soft and you get a solid feel of the ball compressing off the face when you strike it well. Your ears are greeted with a nice heavy thud as the ball and club come together. The PDHY will launch a little higher for players who need it while the PUDI offers a more penetrating ball flight. Both utility irons could be the cure for an open spot in the top end of the bag.
PUDI, PDHY, or Rescue?
TaylorMade offers the following notes to assist golfers in filling out their bags:
- PUDI has mid-CG right behind the center face to create a more penetrating mid-to-low ball flight
- PDHY has a lower center of gravity to produce an easier-to-launch mid-to-high ball flight.
- Both PUDI and PDHY are lower-flying than the company’s hybrid/Rescue clubs.
- PUDI is more forgiving than P790.
- PDHY is the most forgiving iron in the entire TaylorMade iron family

Once had a full 1 iron to Sw of mizuno tn87 but marked ‘tour prototype’ found on eBay with full cord grip in a copper type satin sheen… unbelievable clubs & not a mark on them. Sooo stupid to sell them on. Even tried to get the guy to sell them back to me a coupLe of years later but he said no way!!

In my experience, when selling clubs I tend to only get pennies on the dollar. I’ve come to believe that only if the clubs are a complete disaster for my game, well I sell them. Otherwise I I will keep them in the closet for a rainy day or for friends who may want to borrow them. No more regrets!

Back in the days before you could easily make up for your mistakes, I sold my 1025M MacGregor irons because my dad convinced me they were too unforgiving. I had several rounds in the 60s with them, switched to cavity backs, and just couldn’t get right for the next two years. Live and learn.

The 1025M is rated as a game improvement iron by Ralph Maltby, in spite of the fact that it’s a blade.
