I've been looking all around for a set of AMP Irons all over, I stumbled upon them at Dick's in the demo iron bag and fell in love. When I buy, I usually do my best to give small local guys a shot, I don't mind paying a little more if it helps put food on someone's table as opposed to a corporation who is gonna be just fine and dandy whether I give them my money or not. So I go in this store and wait and wait and wait to ask a salesman if they have any Cobra stuff for sale. The two guys working were too busy attending to this kid in there with his dad spending Daddy's money bragging about his banking degree, I'm a self proclaimed hacker, but this kids swing needed alot of work, I'm not one to judge because I was there when I first started until I put the time and effort into getting the ball to go straight, and these guys were basically lying to him giving the ridiculous gonna give you the x amount of yards spill.
So when I finally get the chance to ask the guy about the Cobra equipment he launches into this anti Cobra rant talking about how the company is about to go over and how Rickie and Ian don't play Cobra clubs they just wear the clothes and front the product (which is wrong about Ian because he wears his own line of clothing now), long story, long they just slander the hell out of Cobra Puma golf. After the guys got done dumping on Cobra they turned out to be kinda sorta friendly guys, that just left a extremely sour taste in my mouth. They gave me a few clubs to try (Wilson Ci11 and the Adams Idea Black CB3 Forged) and I liked both clubs and both felt pretty good but for whatever reason they just didn't do it for me like the Cobra AMPs did. I even had the oppurtunity to hid a blade today for the first time which was awesome, I know I'm not where I need to be to play that style of blade but one day, maybe. They just felt so awesome when you hit them and the beauty is in the simplicity (Mizuno MP68's I think). They even had some really good prices on the clubs, but I don't know, I just wouldn't want to do business with someone who slanders a OEM just because they don't carry them. Say what you will about Dick's Sporting Goods, but they have a great staff at my local store, the salesmen are knowledgeable, very friendly, and if you need assistance, you get it, but they don't hover over you like a vulture. I have a favorite guy there and he's my go to guy, if I ask him about a club or model or line if it's not good or the claims the compainies put out aren't true he's honest and straight forward with me. As much as I'd love to give my business to the little guy, I'm gonna have to keep going with DSG unless I can find another local shop with a friendlier staff. End rant, sorry I drug this one out so long.
