I know we have done the club you thought you would love and hated, but let's go the other way.

For me it was a TaylorMade spider. I was a hardcore blade putter guy, and years ago I won @Wildcat contest for a spider tour. It was my intro to mallet putters and I loved that thing!
 
I know there's been quite a few, but honestly when I got fit into the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K Triple Wide at the Grandaddy, I didn't think I'd like it. I had always been a mallet guy.

But now I'm not sure I'll ever go away from Double Wide or Triple Wide blades.

Went the opposite way I did. I've heard so many people love the tri hot
 
For me it was the Elyte Hybrid - really was concerned with it in the bag at the beginning of the year. Never been able to get along with hybrids, so putting this in the bag and giving it a fair shot was definitely something that I was definitely concerned with. It's been a true asset in the bag, and I'm happy that I went with my fitter's suggestion.

Wonder if hybrids come back or FW and UW take most of the share.
 
I just picked up a Jaws Raw full face 58*. I didn't even realize it was the full face when I bought it from pre-owned and never thought I would like it, but it works.
 
For me it is the Paradym Super Hybrid. Didn’t like the looks of the club. At address it made me feel I was hitting it way left.

The end result…the club will never leave my bag because it has been so clutch!!!
 
My hybrids. I never got along with hybrids in the past, but ever since putting the Callaway Big Berthas in my bag, they have been money.
 
TaylorMade Hi-Toe wedge. I now seek out high toe wedges across all brands as a preference.
 
S2S max stripe
 
Cleveland UHX 4 and 5 iron, ousted my Srixon Utilities. I didn’t think they would feel so good or go so damn straight with all that offset.

Surprised you didn't go opus with how well reviewed they are.

I had the Opus Platinum in the bag for a year or so and don't know if I went with the wrong grind, but my chipping/pitching with it was very inconsistent. I still have the Jaws Raw 54 in the bag and prefer that feel so went back to the Jaw Raws for the 58.
 
Original Apex UW for me. Not so much for the head, I loved the blend between FW and Hybrid and minimal left bias, but it was paired with the Project X Black that I have never ever gotten along with. I'm a higher swing speed player so I'd always tried the 6.5, but I picked up a 19* UW with a stock 6.0 and it was an absolute rocket launcher. So much so that I picked up a 17* to replace my 3w and haven't looked back since.

The original UW was an insanely good club.

I loved my jaws raw years ago but have fallen in love with the rtz.

Something with Callaway hybrids that have multiple people saying this. What are the settings of your super hybrid? Where does it fit in your bag?
