Don't spend Hundreds of £s on a Driver, get a £20 Junior Club

Well I was in a good mood today after the US Open Result. I picked up a delivery of Junior Golf Clubs this morning and looked at the new Young Gun 3 Woods. I couldn't believe how soft and whippy the shaft is in the club. I thought it might be too soft even for little kids. I then had an idea:

What would happen if a brute like me hit this little kids club?

Well hopefully if it works the video is below. The club flexes in the initial takeaway and during the backswing is bent the wrong way, it corrects this at the top of the swing as it flexes fully back the other way and then lets me deliver it into the ball fully loaded. I was hitting it a full 230 yards on the fly and straight with at time a 10-15 yard draw. I can't believe how good this club is for £20. Its in my bag tonight for a Matchplay Competition. Going to have some fun with it.

I like the way hold the finish position twice as if you forgot to do it the first time

Cant belive how "whippy" that looks!!! Fair play though if your spanking it 220+ yards!

This shows that what I said regarding the little junior club I tried at the range when I took a nine year old down for a swing is correct. I too hit this little club, a nine iron further than my own 8 iron. It is all in the shaft and that was prompted me to open a thread on this subject.

I will have to get myself one of these, as it is obvious that the shaft would suit me.

Maybe they don't want to encourage slow play........

Roughly how far will you need to hit the ball to qualify on the 19th July?

Thanks V just so we're clear I can bairly knock the ball past 200 yards downhill with the wind behind and with a frozen lake at the end of the range but i do know someone that i think should have a go at this, dont know about regularly hitting 330+ but i have seen at least this distance more than once and he seems to be getting more consistent. Its not until you actually see someone hit a ball this far that you realise how much waffle you hear about the driving distances that some claim to hit regularly. I will advise him about the comp and see what he says.

Thanks for all the prompt and detailed responses.
