Do looks matter? Would you play ugly clubs?

[RealPretendPsychic]

Can you play clubs that don’t suit you eye? Are there certain clubs where looks matter more than others?

 

[Junkyard]

Nope. It's got to be nice to look at, even if it did produce a 350 yard drive.

 

[blugold]

No ugly clubs. How the clubs look in the bag matters. Aesthetics matter.

 

[OldandStiff]

I voted no ugly clubs, but my go-to putter isn't exactly what I consider a beauty. I want a prettier one, but they never quite outplay it.

I just checked all! I’m really not sure what constitutes an ugly club for me driver to wedge. I recently had a club champion fitting and hit a bunch of different shapes and looking clubs. Didn’t really find any of them off putting. Putters on the other hand... I love the look of the traditionally Scotty Cameron Newport blade, but I’m also not a good golfer, so I putt with an Odyssey Triple Track Ten. I think it’s ugly, but I need all the help I can get!

For a year, I’m going to play an (in my eye) ugly putter just to do it. I’m not a mallet guy, but I’m going to be for a year.

Beyond that, I see no reason to settle for something you don’t like to look down at, and in this market there is no reason to with so many great options out there.

I think there’s a reason those clubs are no longer sold!

 

[kiwichris]

I probably should but looking at a big chunk of metal behind the ball makes me sad

 

[M2Giles]

I play for fun. So clubs better look good.

 

[blugold]

I think there’s a reason those clubs are no longer sold!

Yes. Because they were ugly and looks matter.

 

[MattyD-MPLS]

I have to like the look of the club to use. The first test is the eye test for me.

 

[BriMac]

I roll this often. I have no shame.

 

[DataDude]

Putter and driver for me. I can't force myself to like irons that don't strike my eye. Offset is the biggest offender for me on bad looks. I can look at a lot of things, but I just don't like offset.

 

[RealPretendPsychic]

Yes. Because they were ugly and looks matter.

So are there no more ugly woods and irons in today’s offerings? I admittedly have not done much testing over the last decade until recently.

 

[bmongi1]

With the quality and variety of clubs made today, there's no reason to settle for something that doesn't suit your eye.

 

[greg19]

The uglier the better for me. Nothing is more satisfying than beating someone with ugly clubs and a Top Flite golf ball.

 

[Junkyard]

Yes. Because they were ugly and looks matter.

The only thing worse than it's looks was the sound it produced!

 

[gkeller813]

With all the clubs out there, I couldn't play an ugly one.

 

[Desmond]

I have played ugly clubs but prefer not to do so, and presently do not.

 

[DNice26]

Yes.

I have no ossue playing ugly clubs if they perform.

 

[Mark_UK]

Is this classed as ugly? If the answer is yes, I suppose I have to say, yes I would.

 

[Mmaynard11]

I mean heck no...my clubs need to look purdy!!!
Wait I am did game that first Cure putter before.

 

[YukonLiving]

There are so many great clubs out there, I don’t think you have to play clubs that you find ugly.

I definitely don’t. I like the look of every club in my bag.

 

[Annhl8rX]

I’m actually drawn to clubs that a lot of people consider ugly. I like stuff that’s outside the norm, and a lot of that time that stuff gets tagged with the “ugly” label.
