Is anyone really interested in what a club looks like?
Surely its the end result - ie yardage, accuracy etc

I agree with burgerman, but its very interesting to see whats out there winning on tour - last major winners look something like this

2009 - ye yang (taylormade), Cink (nike), Glover (nike), cabrera (ping)
2008 - immelman (nike), woods (nike), harrington (wilson), Harrington (wilson)
2007 - johnson (titleist), cabrera (ping), harrington (wilson), woods (nike)
2006 - phil (callaway), ogilvy (cobra), woods (nike), woods (nike)

take out woods, there is still alot of the pros winning majors with nike - yet for some reason that hasn't filtered down to the amateur market.

Interesting to see taylormade had their first major in 5 years with Yang yet I would say that they are the most popular brand out there amongst competitive amateurs.....

I do, it could be like riding an ugly bird with the lights on, 14 times in 4 hours!

good research there johnny, take the rest of the afternoon off
surprised re nike, always figured they were merely a well marketed tool - maybe they still just are

Well of course the performance of the club is more important, but it's no harm to have something decent to look at address, that's for sure.You hear about many a player being put off by clubs purely due to their look at address.

I agree that the end result is important but I think the look of the club matters a hell of a lot in achieving that end result. It inspires confidence at address for a start and if we arnt happy with the appearance of a club, it will stick in our minds and all the technology that club may have counts for very little. If the general consensus was that club appearance doesnt matter then why are we drawn to certain clubs in the first place (Conno being drawn to his Bay Hill clubs for example). Technology is such that most clubs perform to the same standard anyway (excluding Bay Hill) so in buying one club over another proves that our first impressions of a club stick with us and may influence our purchase of that club.

I agree with the OP. I think its a lovely looking driver.

Is it not true that a Bay Hill 7 iron can carry 260yards?

Lets be fair f22..... there has to be a slight tail wind for that yardage!

Where is the man in question, when is his release or has he been re-born?

There is nothing a Bay Hill 7 iron cant do! Just dont play any chip and run shots around the green with it, it will carry 80 yards more than you want. Something to do with the clubs "awesome firepower V grooves (patent pending)". As seen on QVC shopping channel.

He has been reborn, he is still with us and has been reincarnated as a fast food item!

The Ian Poulter armbands also add another 20% power

Roumer has it that if you catch the Bay Hill 7 iron flush on a launch monitor, the numbers that flash up reveal the year you are going to die.

I've never been in love but I did once get hit square in the nuts with a bayhill 7 iron. I thought that pain would never end.
