Anybody participate in the Bombtech Grenade demo on the old FGI site?

Just wondering if there is anybody on this site who demo'd this club when there was a thread going for it on the old site? If so what were your thoughts? I have to say I bought one not sure what to expect and it has turned out to be one of the most pleasant equipment surprises I've ever had. It is a legitimately excellent club. The green color scheme on the shaft and the whole "pull the pin" slogan is a little hokey but they direct market so I understand you gotta have some schtick. I've been looking for something for a long, long time with all of the forgiveness of my Dynacraft Avatar Evolution but with a little more pop in the bat and this fills the bill. Anybody else own one/try one?

Yep, I still have a lot of their stuff. Some I purchased through them, and some on E-bay. I currently game the driver, 4 hybrid, and alternate the wedges. I like them. They are just as good/forgiving as anything I had been using. I am in the market for their 3 hybrid but i guess they have taken a back seat to the new irons they are selling. No biggie as it is winter here so I can't use it anyway. Good product and nice people IMO. Glad to see they are doing well thus far.

I did participate in the demo on FGI. I can't remember if the demo was offered to me to buy or if I bought one from someone else. I regret selling it. It was a solid driver. Very long, one of longest I've hit. I did not like the graphics on the shaft or on the sole. I did like the black matte finish on the crown. Maybe the graphics were why I eventually sold it, but I was a degenerate ho in those days. If I could find another one (10.5* stiff flex) for a good price, I'd buy it in a minute.

I demoed it as well over on FGI. I thought it was a very nice driver head, liked the matte black and I like flashy colors so that didn't bother me at all.

I had issue with the shaft not really fitting my swing at the time. I had to be careful, if I over swung bad things happened.

Dufferman It's funny how that is because when I ordered it one concern was the shaft. I didn't want to prejudge it because some stock shafts I've had have been very good but not always of course. I've found the shaft to be a very good match for both the clubhead and my swing. I feel like I can make an aggressive move at the ball not risk a huge pull or hook. Basically its not something I feel I have to try and steer. Anytime I get that feeling about a club its over.

I didn't participate in the demo but I did purchase the driver and fairway woods in part because of the positive reviews from the demo. For me the driver head is not as forgiving as my g25 and seems to be a higher spin head. As well, the stock shaft was too weak for me and probably contributed to the high spin/high flight as well. I did reshaft with a Project x 6.5 which lowered my ball flight but still not as forgiving as my g25. On perfect hits i get a good ball flight and close to g25 distance, My Geek NB with the PX 6.5 is still the king of distance for me! As for the fairway woods, they are the longest fairways I have ever hit. Unfortunately, they sit a bit closed and cause me to hit pull hooks occasionally, especially with the 5 wood. If you want distance then give these a try. I haven't tried any of the other clubs

and now the irons. Nice offering for $299.

Don't know why but Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead comes to mind when I saw these irons.

I was trying to think of what they remind me of. That could be it. I don't see a graphite shafted offering. Maybe they are just dipping their toe in the pool.

I'm a visual person, more so by getting over the hump of 60. I might not remember detail like a person's name but I sure remember their face years down the road.... it seems to be true with golf clubs.
The shape of the BT irons are so much like the BB Steelhead, which was one of the most forgiving irons in it;s time. Can't blame they to step off the new line with something easy to be accepted by most golfers.
