The golf club that you regretted selling or trading

[arbitrage]

My Exotics CB1 4 wood. That thing was an absolute beast with the original Speeder 757 in it. Had the 4 and 7 and sold to get the CB2's...which I couldn't get airborne.

[Voltron]

I had a 1/100 black oxide 350g AOP Newport... in almost perfect shape nonetheless.... that one still hurts

[Rory4Pres]

Mint condition Scotty Cameron Squareback 2. ugh. Sold it for like $160 a couple years ago.

[Rory4Pres]

I do have to chuckle going through this list of clubs and saying to myself "got those, got those, had that"

[MadGolfer76]

Mmm...set of J40 CB's with x200's. No idea why I got rid of them.

[jslane57]

When I was in my early 20's (mid 1990s) another guy around my age would golf at the course I played at. He had a Ping Anser (1970s model, nothing overly great, but perfect shape) that he used from his grandpa's bag. He wanted a new putter, I wanted his old putter. So I offered to trade him for any putter in the pro shop. I purchased him a brand new Odyssey or something and we traded. We were both very happy. Fast forward to about 10 years ago and I'm chasing my kids around a local practice facility and I run into this guy. We talk for only a minute, he mentions he wishes he never made the trade back then. I hadn't thought of that club for some time, but it is still in the attic. After chasing my kid down to the putting green, I look for this guy, but he is gone. Dang. Of course the trade was/is not in question. But if I ever see this guy again, I will gladly give him his grandfather's putter back. We traded way before either of us ever would have considered/thought of anything sentimental about a golf club...

Two stand out for me:

 

TaylorMade R300 Driver with Grafalloy Shaft - absolutely murdered that thing, and one of the straightest drivers I'd hit at that point. Got tempted by a TM XR-05, which offered even more distance. It wasn;t wrong either, it went at least 30 yards further into the trees than the R300.

 

Ping Anser from 1977. Sold it to a friend for £30, tried a few Scotty Camerons, didn't like any of them nearly as much as the old Anser. It even had the sound slot at the bottom of the cavity. Dread to think what it would be worth now....

[dooles]

Bridgestone J-33 Air muscle 2-iron. I hit that thing 248-250 yards, low stinger straight as a arrow. Why, oh why did I trade in that club.

[beckk10]

Nike oven Tour issue long hosel Sumo2 13* fairway wood. Best club ever and im an idiot.

[mbday]

I sold this amazing Circle T Cameron Laguna 2.5 that I had made for me. Sold for something like $900 right after I got married and needed some extra money.

Now I am trying to track it back down and will probably pay 2-3x to get it back. Great move!

[beckk10]

Titleist 909D3 with real Diamana white 73

Miura sand wedge

Scratch lob wedge

Chikara lob wedge

Ping 3 and 5 woods (G5 era) with ProLaunch fairway shaft

 

That's the driver I got when I got rid of my favorite one ever.

 

Taylormade R7 425 8.5 with a Diamana Blue 73x. Greatest. Club. I. Ever. Played.

[Steelhead]

Had a set of Andrew Magee’s TA7 irons I bought while living in PHX. A local pro had them and I bought them for $175. Had the “made for Andrew Magee” label on them. S300s. Nice set in the day (or even today!) I was and can be stuuuuuuuped!

 

[LeoLeo99]

Those are nice Tour Actions!

 

I sold a set of AP2 714 that I bought off ebay for a good deal. Was in a funk with my swing and decided to sell everything that wasn't a shovel to Dallas golf That was last year. Just browsing ebay I see my set of AP2 714 for sale by Dallas Golf. There were some unique grips on them and shafts so I know they were the same clubs. Almost bought them back.

 

Those irons, my 755.cb irons, FG17, TA 845

[beckk10]

Mizuno H4 2-iron

 

Awesome in every regard except bulk. Really miss it

 

Still have mine !!! thing is a beast off the tee for me. My favorite club

[Stumpnav]

962 DCIs...2-SW...I was a fool to let them go.

 

The original TM Burner Bubble 3W...probably the best 3W I ever had...once the original grip wore out, it was impossible to find anything to replace it.

[joe293]

About 20 years ago, has a Callaway Big Bertha 3 wood with a Sandvik Titanium shaft. It was a rocket. Played well with it for a while, but then it went cold and I sold it. Regretted it for years.

 

I remember the Sandvik shafts, weird looking shaft for it's time. Hitting one took some doing!

 

Didn't John Daly play those shafts in his clubs when he won the PGA at Crooked Stick ?

[Fuzzy7]

Ping isi beryllium irons

[jgolf215]

Last year and earlier this year I was driving the ball great with a Callaway XR16 standard head. I resisted the move to the Epic for a bit, but finally traded my XR16 and GBB in on the Epic. And the Epic is great. I picked up yardage and mishits were great. The only back up I had was a Razr Hawk Tour that I hit maybe 6 balls with. I never sold or traded it because I didn't think I could get anything for it. Lately I've been struggling off the tee. It's the Indian of course, but I wished I had the XR16 to fall back on.

One night for the heck of it, I went on Ebay to see what I could get for the Razr Hawk. There were a dozed used ones on there. But one brand new was on there and the seller was trying to get well over $200 and had 7 watchers. I said what the heck and put mine up for $120. It sold in two hours and the next day I won an auction for an XR16 head only, brand new in plastic for the same.

[Irky]

My Odyssey white hot pro fang putter. So soft and buttery. Always wanted the next best miricle flatstick ..... typical golf ho..... never sunk putts like that with anything else.....wonder wot the new Ping sigmas are like lol

[jimpsycho]

My G15 Driver was traded in to help purchase an iron set for my nephew. I had the Axiv Core black shaft in it and was money with that club. Baby draw every time but i could cut it if i wanted to.

[Yanki01]

my first scotty cameron which was a brand new circa 62 #3. sold it later on that was basically in mint condition - not a ding or imperfection on it (aside from sole wear) for stupid cheap. now looking to get one identical back.

[averysdad]

My TEE EX9 3 wood.....what a idiot I was to get rid of it. Going to buy one off the bay.

[Brianbigoats]

Adams LS hybrid

[Aztec]

Hogan Apex Plus Irons - one of the finist sets of irons ever made should have kept the heads shafts were soso but heads were butter

[Scratchat50]

Ben Hogan Apex 3 wood from the late 70's w/ Apex 5 shaft. Still my favorite club of all time. Lost it during a move back from college. :angry22:

great story :)

 

As for me, I eBayed my SFTP 1.0. It had a Fubuki Tour 63 (I think), 9.0* and finished at 46" length.

 

This club was kinda a LOVE-HATE relationship. If I sequence wrong, it was sooo hooky. If I sequence right, it was a true bomber. I hit this on 344 on the 10th hole at Woodley Lakes with my Srixon XV ball, GPS measured and even took a picture of the event. Alas, like the club, the picture was lost when the cell died, this was before cloud storage. I have since found another SFTP and I am keeping this one in the back up bag. Lovely head for sure, before all this aerodynamic, turbulating, dotting, chevron BS in these new modern head.

[GolfChicago91]

Scotty cameron Super Rat that I got from a member on here. Won my annual golf trip in a sudden death playoff by draining a 20 footer with it, and I putted better than any other putter I've used up until switching to a Spider Tour. To this day the only blade putter I could putt with. Now I refuse to shell out the money for another, as I got that one for a steal.

[noskcaj]

easy. r7 tp shallow head with nv 65. regret it every day

[kbgoon]

My beloved Cleveland monster xls driver. ..

[jwells1901]

My Nike Pro Combo OS 2 iron..i had a 20 handicap when i had it and could barely hit higher than my head. I regretted selling that club so much, i havent sold another club since.
