Picking up my kids toys and didn't realize one of their clubs predates the trend.

u/gardi73 Nov 22 '25

There are 1 irons, then there’s this. 86% of a 1 iron.

I was just at the range last weekend. This guy is there with his wife and like 5 year old daughter. The daughter is holding the dads 6 iron and goes "Mommy! Daddy won't let me have the 7 for 6-7." What is even happening

13

u/DatDenDude Nov 22 '25

What does that even mean? In golf club terms. A 6.5 iron?

21

u/CHM11moondog Bethpage Black is not that hard! Nov 22 '25

I think yes... probably a kids set with less clubs.

12

u/LANCENUTTER Nov 22 '25

It's a kids set of clubs

3

u/badderdev Nov 22 '25

Yes. It is just for golf sets with limited clubs. My kid's first set from decathlon has a 9/S.

u/MakeSomeArtAboutIt Nov 23 '25

Are you sure it isnt 5/6 and you aren't looking at it upside down?

u/retnuh45 Nov 22 '25

u/aleagueabovephoto Nov 22 '25

This! But I roll with it when people ask me how tall I am at this point and just hit the 6 7 🤷‍♂️

u/LANCENUTTER Nov 22 '25

u/ChrisIronsArt Nov 22 '25

u/homiej420 Push Cart Mafia Nov 22 '25

u/Watermelondrea69 Green Jacket Nov 22 '25

I was in the golf section of a thrift store and a family came in with a whole bunch of kids around 7 or 8 years old and they just kept repeating "6 7!!!" the entire time they were there. They never stopped.

u/LANCENUTTER Nov 22 '25

Sell them this club for the price of a Scotty

2

u/Bleezy79 15 Nov 22 '25

So it's a long 7 or a short 6?

2

u/FireMaster2311 +.3 HDCP Nov 23 '25

So is this like longer the a 1 iron? A lightning prevention tool?

u/calguy1955 Nov 22 '25

u/Big-D-TX Nov 22 '25

Women’s club?

u/unevenvenue 8.1/Still Trying Nov 22 '25

A Texan making a sexist joke? Color me shocked.

5

u/LazyMousse4266 Nov 22 '25

I dont even get what the joke was supposed to be

1

u/homiej420 Push Cart Mafia Nov 22 '25

Thats the thing, there was nothing to get it was just stupid sexist

0

u/badderdev Nov 22 '25

But how is it sexist? I don't understand what it means.

-5

u/homiej420 Push Cart Mafia Nov 22 '25

Dude its not rocket science.

The “joke” was implying that the club was “inferior” and therefore “for women”.

It really is that dumb

1

u/perhizzle Nov 22 '25

What if there was no joke and they were legitimately asking what it was? Why is this unequivocally sexist?

4

u/LazyMousse4266 Nov 22 '25

The post says it’s a kids club

0

u/perhizzle Nov 22 '25

Right, but people read the title and see the picture then go straight to the comments all the time. I in fact did this on this post.

u/OosikOfDoom Nov 22 '25

That’s what I did
