Golf component sites

So, when looking for golf components, which sites do you check? I tend to check Golf Works (ca) since they have a Canadian distributor, and then check Hireko...

I know 1 component site that will never get another penny from me, unless they rectify(fully) their fuckup of this month/yesterday! The GolfWorks. Assholes. Have never seen anything like that company.

Synopsis of what happened?

garyt1957 Oh Yeah, I was interested in the Super BOM and its been big bucks forever. Its almost like the site just forgets they have a site online😁

Typhoon Not such a bad price, considering what today's drivers sell for; even heads only are much higher than this................

Typhoon it's kinda like a time warp.
They're still selling square heads and have a 340cc driver head for $150

garyt1957

Par4QC not if you buy a 20 year old OEM.

Sounds like Rex took it in the ass.

Typhoon Big time! 12 cheapo shafts, I'll never get because of those assholes.

Ordered a bunch of the $4.99 Paderson shafts; driver, hybrids, iron. All showed 'in stock' when paying for order, all showed 'in stock' when I got the receipt. Several minutes later, I realized I never got the flex for me, so figured to bite the bullet, pay 2x for shipping, and ordered 5 in my flex/style. (9/30)Not long after, got a shipping confirmation, but only for the 2nd order. Went back, checked status of 1st order, and found 1 of the iron shafts listed as 'backorder', which I knew damn well they could not get any more of. Then, got an email from them wanting me to call; replied I could not use phone and email would suffice. Nothing....several days pass, the 2nd order arrives, and I still got no reply. Sent another email to them, and this time got a reply that I did not answer their 1st. Replied as to why, repeated same as before, and then they say they sent a reply to my reply. I said NO, you did not. Told them to just ship remainder of order.(10/7). Never heard from them again. Today, I have 'the secretary' call. They cancelled the order yesterday, and refunded. I got no notice from them about a cancellation, nor did I get a notice from PP where I got a refund. Said to redo. wtf....there is no 'redo'...the shafts are out of stock!! Poorly run bunch of assholes, which I will never have to deal with again. There were 3 emails total that they said they sent.....they fucking lie!!

I did just check PP and the refund is now showing, dated yesterday. Wasn't there last night, I can tell you that!(I was countin' my money, yes. 😂)

My apologies for not going in depth, of details. 😅

TMI 😜

garyt1957 ah, but the Super BOM is an Almo creation.....not that old at all. He went back to them a few years ago, before 'retiring'.
The other heads, yes, some are more than 20 yrs. old.

Par4QC My apologies for not going in depth, of details

In other words you ordered some shit they lied about having and communicating to resolve it was terrible. Yes?

garyt1957

Par4QC. seems like even the super bom is 10-15 years old

I think what happened was the system got overwhelmed. So many people were buying at the same time the orders couldn’t be filled fast enough.

Par4QC

sdandrea1 They had it, but apparently don't read emails. If they cancelled the order just yesterday, where the F are the shafts they DID have??
I'm done with them. Bought some heads last year that were way off spec, so, it's good riddance on my part. No one gets 3 strikes with Rex. 😅

Par4QC

garyt1957 Maybe. I'm starting to lose track of the years. 😨
Seems like just yesterday that Almo was around still making things happen.

Looks like you're right, it came out in 2016, but Almo didn't design it he just did some cosmetics and named it. I'm surprised that it's only 5 years old

Does anybody still play Bang? Especially drivers? It's just a name you never hear of anymore. I honestly don't see how they're even in business.

Had several new ones, years ago, that I picked up on the cheap. They all seemed to be geared towards much higher swingspeeds than I was capable of even then. Felt 'hard', hit shorter than the 455DB/Geek DCT at the time. The best of the heads, imo, was the BOM 401 head. And, they came in 3 colors, black, blue, maroon(which they call red).
I did look several times this summer at getting the Super BOM, but just never got around to ordering. Maybe next year.

We sell a ton of SF's, and to be honest I do not know why. The Soolong Fairway (also available in high loft) are just as good and cheaper.

Typhoon

Sounds like the website didn’t have the correct stock entered so it never showed it when it ran out of that flex. Just piss poor all around by them.

I would have called them though, if nothing else than to give them a ration of shit

Par4QC

Typhoon I get this email from them this a.m..................

**Thank you for your email. We apologize that we missed your email response on on 10.7.2, unfortunately
the order was cancelled on 10.14.21 and a total refund was given to your Pay Pal account.

If you still would like to get these items you will need to place a new order.**

And just how would I do that?????

Have to agree with that statement - picked up a BoM 460 6.5 off of eBay, mostly for giggles. Have to put a really good swing on it to get the same feeling that I get from my gamer 455DB.

The Bang stuff has to be selling otherwise they wouldn't be on a bunch of sites... I've often wondered if the BOM fairway woods are worth the price today. Love the look but they aren't cheap compared to the SoooLong, DCT, even the current SMT offering is half the price for a head.

If those had square-open faces, I might be famous again. Monster distances, but never knew how far left it would be, or where.

garyt1957

ValueGolf I can see the SF's if you're going higher loft and you like a larger head. I bought those when I experimented with hi loft fw's, not a lot else out there.
