My wife dragged me to local yard sale to look at some antiques. While we were on this quest, I came across a golf club called a "Super Stick". At first I thought it was multi weighted club, with a training grip on it. I asked how much, the lady said $2.00, I said sold, and paid for it. When I got it home and looked at it a little closer, I found it was one club that could be adjusted to be used as a driving iron all the way down to putter. A full set of clubs all in one club. Such a deal. I had to try it out. Back yard swing into a net were not making it for me. So I go to my local golf course to give this critter a try out under real course conditions.
The first few holes the problem was learning the adjustment proceedure. Basically you loosen a screw, and then adjust the club head to what ever lofted club you might need. The hard part for me was matching up the various notches for the correct lofted club. Then I notice the directions on the upper part of the shaft, which made things easier. I don't think the lie angle ever changed. Of course I had to take time out to answer some questions from other golfers, and a course marshall, since I was walking a course with only one club in my hands. As a driving iron, I had a tough time with it. Same when it was in the putting position. But from a 4i thru the wedges it played well for me. My wedge distances were longer since the club is a set length, and longer than my regular short irons. I wound up carding a 46 for 9 holes. The bright spot was I played the last 3 holes at par. I played very poorly for the first 3 holes at a +8. It is fun little club, but I don't think it will replace my regular clubs anytime in the future, but to horse around with on the driving range will be a viable option
So if you can find one for $2.00 grab it....LOL FHs
Please, make no mistake about this "one" club. It will never take the place of my full, or partial bag. It is nothing more than a conversation peice, and/or to fool around with. I too suspect the lasting quality of this critter could be short lived.
A positive is that I have already been offered $10.00 for it.....lol
Ron you did hit the nail on the head, as I do take walks in our local park, hitting foam golf balls with it. I suspect it could also be used to ward off an unruly dog should one bother me. FHs
I have seen the club before quite a while ago. (eons) and have always wondered how it would perform. I have heard both positive and negative. As you said positive was that you have 1 club to lug around. The negative was a few people said the club had broke after the 2nd and 3rd time out. Plus judging distance was an issue. But you are a smart person and I am sure you will figure the distances fairly quickly. Have fun with it sounds like a nice walk in the park using it.
FHs, what a great story. Time well spent the Super Stick. Just think of the raw material generated for your golf dreams. Sounds like the Durn Critter confronted you with your own very Golf Soul, out there under the watchful eyes of Mr. Marshall, you know what they say, "when all else fails, try reading the directions". For the rest of your life in your dreams, there's you, Walking Tall on the course with one club, confident. Mr. FrogHair Dillon, smokin' one gun.
