Q Gen 1 (Lightly Used)

One Club that does it all

This was a blast to use. This club is 8 in 1 and hits well in every variation. I really enjoy using the Loft and 9 iron most. The club length is great, at first it felt off being longer at the lower irons but its comfortable after a few shots. This has really made me consider getting the updated 2 pc to pack and travel with.

Love this and the Gen2. These are my go to when i want to practice and not pull out all my clubs

Pretty good, with a few shortcomings.

I've gone to the driving range & practice putting area 4-5 times now, but haven't yet played a round of golf with it yet. First of all, I love the IDEA of carrying one club around (on the course, and in my car). It does feel like a quality build, all around. I was surprised to receive it in it's own padded travel case, so that was a nice bonus. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that the dial for the club is on a slight bias such that it changes the lie angle along with the angle of the head. Now for the less than stellar realizations: 1) If you don't know about "swing weight," the general idea for club building is that the longer the shaft, the lighter the head because force = mass x distance, and a real set of clubs is meant to have a fairly consistent feel (aka "swing weight") across all your clubs. So, obviously, this can't be true for this club. The swing weght felt approximately the same to me as my 6-iron. Since the majority of the settings are less than the 6-iron, the swing weight felt super light. For example, my normal wedges are quite heavy. But choking down to the wedge length on this club, it feels a little too light. 1a) My brother suggested I do a Bryson DeChambeau, and go with same length clubs so the swing weight would stay the same. Two problems: the lie angle changes; and it effectively narrows the range of distance the clubs will hit. 2) The bounce is quite pronounced, especially the wedges past the pitching wedge (Sand, and 2 Lob wedges - or is one called a Gap wedge? - I'm not sure). It gives me confidence at the Sand angle, but I feel makes blading a ball more of a possibility beyond the Sand. 3) Putting is weird. Because of the length of the shaft, I'm sort of a crouching putting type person. This doesn't really allow that. And again, because of the lie angle, it forces a severe toe-down putting position. Or, I've also improvised by using the Hybrid setting, severe shaft lean to get the shaft away from my chest, and then taking my normal crouching, choked down putting stance. I don't think one really wants to putt with a 3-iron length away from the ball. Your eyes aren't over the ball - it would be hard to aim, not to mention poor feel. 4) Speaking of 3-iron, the Stinger setting feels like a 3-iron length. This may actually be a good thing for my game, since a shorter shaft means a reduction in my slice: more balls in the fairway! In conclusion, it's an OK substitution for most irons, but a compromise on the upper and lower ends, which could be made up for by simply bringing a few of those clubs. Nevertheless, for $150 for the Gen 1, lightly used Q, I'm reasonably happy.
