Forum Thread of the Day: “Clubs that have completely blown you away, either for good reasons or bad?”

Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from TXTrapLord who asks WRXers which clubs they had hit that they were blown away by, either for good reasons or bad. Our members give their detailed insight into the clubs that made huge impacts on them in both positive and negative ways.

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.

  • AG12: “TS2 woods for sure. Never played any Titleist woods prior to the TS line and honestly wasn’t even considering them. Went into a PGA SS locally in December of last year and loved the sound, feel and ball flight I was getting from them. Testing the TS woods vs the new offerings this year and nothing beat them for me.”
  • 1Mordrid1: “I will post one to the bad side. After playing Ping G700’s, I could not believe how bad the i500’s were. The G700’s flat out perform and achieve everything a “hollow cavity” iron should. Unfortunately for some, the blade length is just too long, and the sound and feel are not for everyone. The i500 sound was a little better, the feel was better, but the design just makes no sense. A hollow-body iron with a higher CG is negating the whole purpose of a hollow cavity design.”
  • zed: “Epic Flash 3 wood, they nailed it. Evenflow shaft works well with it for me.”
  • Yuck: “S55 irons. Dropped my handicap by more than half in 20 rounds.”
  • TServos: “The only clubs that made me think that the PGA Superstore simulator was maybe accurate are the Ping BluePrint irons. Every swing felt beautiful, and when the simulator showed that I hit a 7 iron 190 yards with a little draw and a 4 iron 220, my first reaction wasn’t ‘yeah, right.’ I’ve played I-25’s for the last 7 years, and I’m looking hard at the Blueprints. But are they really the best iron for a player of my modest skills?

    For me, switching from Adams clubs to Cobra has been huge! I play two Bio Cell sets and I swear by them! I can play both the stiff and regular steel sets so that’s a bonus! I can also play the Baffler XL 4 and 5 irons which is a bonus! After two years of playing these irons, I feel I have turned the corner on my game! Now I just need some fine-tuning! I would also put in a big plug for the Baffler XL 3 wood! It’s been a game-changer for me! As for wedges, the Z Spin TaylorMade 54 and 60-degree wedges have done wonders for my game!

    Good-original Callaway Steelhead. Bad-recent Steelhead.

    Loved the chrome soft til they started randomly flying greens by 20 yards with short irons every once in awhile. Love the feel, love the distance, love the feel on and around greens…but I can’t trust them and for that it’s out for good.

    Wishon Sterling Irons. Put them in the bag 3 years ago and I’ll never go back to traditional irons.

    Bloodline putter. Absolutely changed (for the better) aligning putts.

    Callaway Chrome Soft with Truvis.

    (Hey, all of those are in my bag right now!)

    All-time: Cleveland VAS 792 irons. Straight, straight, straight. Soft for a cast club. Probably one or two clubs shorter than today’s irons, but great back in the day.

      Interesting. I tried sterling 3 years ago and consistently come back to them. Just last week I think they became the permanent gamers. Even the 4i performs perfectly for me.

    Bettinardi BB40 half mallet putter felt like a piece of sheet metal hitting a rock and the Taylormade Penta ball from awhile back was so bad in the wind I traded them for used pro V1s. On the good side Ping Rapture driver and an SM5 58 m grind bent to 59 with bounce ground out to 6 that stop and dropped everything and was a bunker machine.
