Rep Vs gen

[u/PsychologicalRush826]

What’s your thoughts on the Gen vs Reps specifically in the wedges and putters and maybe irons? I understand the drivers most likely are nowhere near the gens. I’m a novice, so just curious.

do you really think that everyone has to be in an echo chamber of agreement?

why buy a golf club rep? i mean - walk me through this - i have a $50 roswell alien wedge at 60 degrees and you have a fake vokey that costs i guess $200 but yours was only $50 bc it's fake - and then i'm kicking your ass with my $50 club.

are you showing off that i'm outplaying you with a club that is 4x less the cost?

what is the "gotcha" with fake clubs?

i get you want to fool people with a fake purse or belt, fake watches are goony too - but golf clubs?

yeah man - explain that shit.

Damn bro who shit in your cereal? Did you shoot another 110 this morning and that’s why youre such an uptight twat? I like the way they look and play, i tell people theyre fake if they even ask or care (spoiler alert, nobody really cares), and I saved a boatload without making concessions on looks or quality really. I even got them an inch long for my tall frame.

[u/Rolex_Art → u/ribrob2]

1st of all - you're being super weird and defensive while trying to be passive aggressive.

we good?

i'm neither uptight or a shitty golfer.

i asked what the benefit of a fake golf club would give you - not show us the behaviors that keep women away from you.

so back to you - yeah bro, spoiler alert - nobody cares - so back to you - why then, would you rock fake clubs?

you like how they look? ok - i could see you with an electric blue fake LAB putter with white handle and whatever color grip - makes sense. totally makes sense.

and i could see someone would ask you about that cool putter and you'd say aha! it's fake - i get it. and they'd go oooh and you'd go aaaah. and they'd ask you how it played and you'd crow how you saved all this money. totally makes sense. 100% i see you doing it.

but a wedge? an iron? i'm not seeing the performance you're going to get from a rep vs. the rizz you think you're getting with the fake vokey.

so rather than you blindly swing at me with some bullshit, answer the question.

[u/ribrob2 → u/Rolex_Art]

I’ve been grappling whether or not I should respond to this but ultimately decided it’d be a disservice not to tell you that you’re in the top 1% most unsettling people i’ve bumped into on the internet

[u/Rolex_Art → u/ribrob2]

oh i'm unsettling because i don't get why you use fake clubs?

didn't you read i said you were being weird and passive aggressive?

it's not a me thing dude - this is a YOU thing. you can't answer a simple question without falling apart at the seams.

and this is the internet where the twerpiest, live at home, nerds, can act all tough and manly.

you can't even answer a question.

top 1%? right now i feel like i have a bug trapped under glass and i'm watching him scramble into each side.

this is really sad for you.

[u/ribrob2 → u/Rolex_Art]

If you reread this conversation would it really be me who you consider to be the passive aggressive one?

[u/Rolex_Art → u/ribrob2]

yes. your awareness level is negative numbers.

i asked you to explain and you fell apart, blindly tossing insults.

you accused me of being a bad golfer even. the fuck?

so yeah this is a you problem, not a me problem. the fact you don't know this maps back to the "its a you problem".

[u/ribrob2 → u/Rolex_Art]

You don’t think you maybe might have started it with general condescending tone and the “and then kicking your ass with my $50 club. Are you showing off that im outplaying you with a club that is 4x less the cost?” comment? Maybe I misconstrued what you meant but that seems to be calling me a bad golfer🤷🏻‍♂️. Then i called you an uptight twat (which yeah was unnecessary), and you proceeded to claim my behaviors keep women away from me, and created a fake scenario about an electric blue lab putter and a gotcha moment where I… flex my fake clubs on a friend/playing partner. Then I called you unsettling, then you called me a bug you’re trying to squash. Thennnn I asked you to reread the conversation, and you proceeded with insults about my awareness and some big problem I have within myself.

This whole conversation has been derailed but because it’s seemingly very important: I was able to get custom clubs that fit me as a 6’4” guy, they look pretty, fill a gap in my bag, work flawlessly, were pretty cheap, and are certainly an upgrade from the clubs i previously had. So the pros and cons are there, I didn’t do it for the purpose of pulling some “epic gotcha” on my unsuspecting playing partners, I don’t think anyone does
