In our forums, our members have been discussing the length of time until they give up on a club. WRXer ‘sniff’ kicks off the discussion saying:
“Got a new driver and I love it….g400 Max. I knew from the first three range ballls it was a keeper.
It got me to thinking how quickly I make a decision on whether a club is going to work out.
Driver- like above, I know within a few balls whether it’s going to stay…value accuracy over crazy distance
Fairway woods- tend to be more patient as I primarily use off the deck so looking for a particular distance….not more distance
Hybrid- versatility rules for me so when I find one I rarely look around…safest spot in the bag
Irons- I give irons a little more time than the driver spot. I know when they will not work during a range session….and will give them a season if they make it past the range
Putter- haven’t changed in 4 years…and won’t unless mine breaks.”
And our members have been sharing the length of time it takes them to make up their mind on a new club.

- 95124hacker: “After 3 bad shots (OB, hazard, topped, chunked, poor distance/direction control) within 3 consecutive rounds. Not a hard rule, but generally speaking…”
- Warrick: “18 holes usually tells me enough, sold many drivers and fwy woods after 18.”
- forrester_fire: “Usually a few rounds, range sessions, or short game practice sessions.”
- Albatross85: “10 swings, usually less.”
- Chadwickdog: “Sometimes it’s one shot, sometimes it’s five rounds. Depends on the club.”
