the other day my buddy and I were at a dual demo day at the only local golf shop within 60 some miles from me. The companies involved were Callaway and Cobra. Having a Ping demo at the same location that was outstanding I came with high expectations.
I arrived and went to the Cobra Booth first which was the 1st one in the line. I was excited to try the Fly z line from irons to woods. To my dismay Cobra had nothing to measure swing speed, or distances. Not only did they not have that, they didnt have a strike board or face tape. However what Cobra lacked in supplies and tech at this demo day the rep was helpful and offered different shaft options or clubs.
I then went to the Callaway booth where there was no one except the rep and I. I had read so many positives about the apex irons and the forged on here that I was excited to try them. The rep said nothing to me as I came up to his booth. I said hi, gave him a head nod as he said nothing. I took an apex forged out of the bag and when to the box where the balls are kept. He had none. Not his fault its the ranges job to supply them, but hes in charge of telling the shop owner that hes out. I said "oh no more balls?" The rep responsed "nope were out" I said do you think Ronnie (the shop owner) can give us more? The rep shrugged his shoulders and didnt say a word. I.said "well I guess I grab some from Cobra" the rep just said "ok".
So I hit a few balls, again no trackman, face tape, or atrike board. I then proceeded to switch out irons to ones with different shafts. All while the rep said not a word. I actually fell in love with the apex forged as I fit myself into some with KBS shafts. I went over to the rep and said "wow these feel great, really lived up to the hype that ive read on my golf forums. He said "they are forged". Not thrilled with his lack of personality or helpfulness I left his booth without hitting the rest of Callaways offerings.
Now I know that Callaway skims posts, and maybe Cobra does too. I would.like them to know that if ur not going to have trackman or anything like that u must have a helpful rep to represent ur company. Ill be honest im not a huge Callaway fan, but the Apex forged spoke for itself and really intrigued me. If the rep was even a little helpful I may have left with and order of fitted Apexs. Just wanted to put that out there. Anyone else hae bad demo.day experiences?
