We're all suckers for it. Best and Worst....

Best, my second hand Callaway X18 irons - got me into this game :)

Worst, probably my driver by it's still in the bag! Sometimes I can hit it and sometimes not - maybe I should have tried a few more out instead of buying without trying!
 
Best Buy: Callaway Big Bertha 3 wood - I could hit it further than i can hit my driver now. I almost cried when it broke on a hidden stone. Bought others to replace it but they were never the same.

Worst Buy: Ping Eye 2 1 iron. Tried my friend's (who was off 2) whilst out playing. Hit a perfect 220 yard draw with it. Thought "Wow! I've got to get one of these."

I did and I literally have never hit a decent shot with it. It went back in the cupboard very very quickly. Where it still resides today.
 
Best buy has to be my 18* G10 hybrid it miles but my worst has to be an early version of the mizuno fli hi driving iron.

I dont know why i bought it but i did.
 
Best buy would be my 909 D2, which cost me £70 and its the first driver i have ever felt comfy with :).


Worst buy would be my Dunlop 3 wood which had a whippy as hell shaft(like a hose pipe )
 
Best buy was my current TM Rossa Corza Ghost. It has totally transformed my putting.
Worst buy, Powersphere Driver by Burrows golf. My club had a demo day showcasing them, I bought one for 300 quid! Fool!
 
Best Buy - my first Ping G2 driver, fantastic club

Worst - Ping G10 driver and 3 Wood. Both had V2 shafts and I just couldn't hit a good shot with them. Went back to the trusty Aldila NVS!
 
Best - TopFlite Tour Irons from the mid-90's. Fabulous clubs.

How good were they!!

I used to love mine.

Best - Finally getting some X100 shafts in my irons and wedges.

Worst - Thinking a Z-Star was a good premium ball last summer.
 
Best would be my old Callaway FT-iQ Driver, it really helped that part of my game or Vokey wedges... I love them!!


Worst would be my TM Burner 3 wood, it was an inpulse buy and I was already to strong for the shaft in it.
 
Best - Although I'm happy with all my purchases since re-taking up the game, I have to go with my MP-57's. Loved them since the moment I first hit them.

Worst - Really can't think of anything off the top of my head but if I had to choose - my Nike SV Tour 60* Lob. It's a great club, but lacks the versatility of my two Mizzy's.
 
Best: Matrix studio 64 shaft for my driver

Worst: Just an assortment of clubs that got me through till I got a proper set, not that most were bad (I loved the mizuno fli hi driving iron I had) but ended up not being in my current bag as time and technology has moved on
 
I have a nice brand new Mizuno MPT10 60 degree lob wedge, that would be just right for you. Not having it though. ;)

Sorry, I only play with the the better quality MPT-11's not the cheaper, inferior clubs they replaced :D

But in all seriousness, I'm questioning whether to remove it from the bag altogether and stick a 5 wood in there to bridge the gap between my 3 wood and 3 iron.
 
Best Buy - my first Ping G2 driver, fantastic club

Worst - Ping G10 driver and 3 Wood. Both had V2 shafts and I just couldn't hit a good shot with them. Went back to the trusty Aldila NVS!

Those proforce V2 shafts are as stiff as a poker.
I was sold a titleist driver with one and I must of lost 40 yards.
I was told it was the shaft for me by one of the knowledgeable staff at American golf :D
