3/20/2023 0 Comments Monark golf reviews![]() It’s not long until you’re tossed into the Otherworld, a ghoulish shadow realm, and beset by fiends. There’s a magical barrier around the school, a fog is driving the students and faculty mad, and random bouts of violence are occurring across the grounds. The set-up of Monark is that you, a student at Shin Mikado Academy in Japan, have woken up in a terrible haze. And from the little-over 20 hours I’ve played so far, I’m not sure the former can overtake the latter. Monark is a game with some really good ideas, and some less than good ones. Progress in Monark also means setting aside time to grind out battles, in a series of arenas that do little to differentiate themselves, and writing that varies from introspective and thoughtful to bizarre twists and tired tropes. ![]() Moving ahead means a new antagonist to fight, more puzzles to solve, and even another fresh track to score the chapter’s boss fight, which has been pretty compelling so far. I know I’m about to walk into a new story beat, which means new characters, stories, and probing questions about my desires. Now I really want to try it in a sand wedge loft.Biting personality quizzes, but tons of repetition It was a solid feeling when it hit the ball (and then watch it slice 30 yards), but nope this F-35 is going to stay parked in the hangar.Īdded the eBay screen for reference. My normal hybrids seem to go fast without me trying, but the Heater required me to really try. That said, the amount of effort needed for this particular hunk of metal was simply too much. ![]() Guess it goes to show that at the end of the day, golf clubs are just mostly hunks of metal on the end of a stick and if you swing it well, it can hit a little ball a pretty long way. I was honestly surprised at how okay-ish the club was. Looks fine in the bag, not going to be confused for a premium club, but not super obviously cheapįirst glance, looks like it's called the "F-35 EATER"Ĭlubhead weighs as much as a Geo Metro (estimated) Solid clubhead and well-enough built club (at least the one I got from where I got it) I think this club needs to be provided a lot of speed to be hit well consistently and you have to provide that speed, no tech in there to help you with it. Bit more practice with it (and maybe hitting the gym) and I bet I could get it working, but meh, probably not going to happen. The super heavy clubhead made it hard for me to turn over, so I was hitting a bunch of big slices with it (and cue the Judge Smails voice "and I never slice") instead of my usual draw. ![]() Not to say that it was horrible, the club stayed solid and I never had a fear of breaking it, but it just didn't really work for me. The Heater sent it 240 down the right hand side of the fairway, so off to a good start, but this wound up being the best shot it produced for me. My first swing with it was a drive off the 375 yard first at Hansen Dam (down hill but into the wind). I've had it out on the course a few times now, hit it from different spots and have some decent impressions on it. Additionally, the clubhead was heavy (and probably a very heavy shaft as well). Only thing is that the coloring and design of the "H" in "HEATER" makes it harder to read, so the club name looks more like "EATER", but I suppose no harm there and also I prefer a matte finish instead of the shiny one this has on the crown. Right away, I could see that this clubhead seemed big (maybe more of a "super hybrid"?) as can be seen in the comparison photo with my three wood and 18* three hybrid. Decent paint, no noticeable cosmetic issues, and it was built straight (I suppose Monark Golf is to thank for that). Few rounds in and plenty of swings in my exclusive club testing center (a mat placed unevenly between two trees in my side yard) and I'm ready to review.įirst impressions as I got the club is that it looked alright. I went with a 15* hybrid, the Heater F-35 as I wanted to check out a low lofted hybrid as a driver-alternative for windy days. On the eBay ads, I noticed that one of the sellers was fairly local to me and when I looked it up, it seemed like a decently sized component wholesaler/builder, so I reached out to pick something up for myself (and save myself $11.99 shipping). I recognized the clubhead as a TaylorMade clone I see all the time on eBay. So this started out on this thread on scammy email advertisements for something called "Patriot Golf". The club review you've all been waiting for the HEATER F-35 hybrid:
