No new acquistions...?

[becalmbecool]

I picked these up today. I didn’t really need them (we all know how that goes!), but as a lefty I couldn’t pass them up. The condition on them is awesome, although the grips are a little hard.

Nothing special about this club, but the little picture on the back made me smile, and for 95¢ how could I not?

[Richard 77]

Are you playing with the clubs I sent your dad?

[James the Hogan Fan]

If you mean the Hogan Apex 3 and 5 woods from last year, yes, although they are in the US right now so I haven't played them since December. But they were in the bag when I played with deejaid last August. I got along with them surprisingly well, actually, particularly the 5w.

[kmay__]

Are these worth picking up? I love the bag, and the set seems to be all there....

Thanks guys.

[raggal62]

It all depends. The clubs aren't pro-line so no collector value but for playability they might be just fine. The bag itself maybe worth the price alone if it's something you like. I myself would pass unless they were dirt cheap.

What do you gentlemen think if these clubs. Is $200 to much to spend

[BIG STU]

Like you I only joined FB to gain access to PGS> And also like you I have the least amount of information posted. But just recently have found out we have a few persimmon players in the Carolinas. In fact one of the guys is putting together a persimmon tournament this year. Just hoping I am healed up in time. If not I will more than likely go anyhow to meet and talk to the folks and perhaps do some club trading

[BIG STU]

Thanks man and thanks to all of you. I have a Cleveland driver in the building a little different than yours. Mine has a two tone insert and it is a monster from the factory, S-400 shaft and 45" length still has original factory grip.

[BIG STU]

Depends on how much they want for them. They are department store line. Now the irons I have a set and they hit good and had quality Brunswick shafts. The woods I have no clue on. If they wanted less than $30 for them I would jump mainly because of the bag they are in

[kmay__]

^ Thanks guys, they were put up for 80 a few weeks ago, have since dropped to 55. I was just looking at them likely as an addition to the collection that maybe might get played on occasion for fun. Maybe if the price drops again to 40 bucks I'll go grab em. Thanks, I thought maybe since they had "tour" on them maybe they were something cool, but if just dept. store stuff I wont go outta my way. Cheers

I acquired a couple of mid-line persimmon drivers today. I know the brand names are nothing special but the quality level seems surprisingly high. I wouldn't call them "store line" in the usual sense.  The TNT appears new and the Tour Model is only lightly used and has a rather deep face. Both are very solid and playable. I'm always on the lookout for player persimmons but they're very rare around here so these were a welcome find.

 

Anyone have any info on these companies? I'm guessing budget pro shop line? Struggling independent builders? Store line nobodies?

 

Oh yeah... he also had a set of Hogan PC blades. Any insight on those? Thanks!

 

[raggal62]

I also wouldn't classify either driver as store-line. The Tour Model was built from components. The head was offered by Dynacraft when Tom Wishon ran the company in the 80's and 90's. Pretty good quality IMO.

Not familiar with TNT but would guess a custom club builder. Looks to be darn nice! Great finds.

[RobotDoctor]

I used to buy a lot of components from Dynacaft. I know they were my source for leather wrapped grips/underlistings/grip collars as well as shafts.

[Swingingk]

Thanks for the info guys. I'm familiar with Dynacraft but I didn't know Tom Wishon had a connection to them. That would explain the apparent quality. Hopefully I can find some time today to get them to the range and see if they fit me. Nice!

Got bored the other night and decided to check the local craigslist for vintage clubs. Ran across these and decided to make an offer.

Walter Hagen, Haig Ultra's - 71-72 model year I believe. Includes 1-9 irons, pitching wedge, sand iron, and an all purpose wedge. Plus the original box.

Will look pretty nice once they are cleaned up.

After I arrived he started pulling out more clubs. We made a deal and I brought the rest home.

 

Walter Hagen, Lady Ultra's.

 

And finally 4 putters. Two Otey Chrisman's, a Matzie Velvet Touch Old Hickory, and an Acushnet Bullseye Wideflange.

 

 

Enjoy the pics!

 

 

[Jiggered]

 

You need to get bored more often!

Nice haul.

[russad]

Great haul, I especially like the fact that you got the original box with the Haigs and the putters are a nice bonus too.

[No_Catchy_Nickname]

Nice haul, indeed.

Do the Lady Ultras have aluminium shafts in them? In the picture, they don't shine like chrome-finished steel shafts.

[Terreb]

Jiggered - I agree, so far it seems to be working!

 

russad - The box is was caught my eye. There is one open slot, so I wonder what else came with the set?

 

No_Catchy_Nickname - Yes you are correct, they have the aluminum shafts, original grips.

[deejaid]

Great find! I played a set of these for a season about 15 years ago and played some great golf with them. Very nice clubs.

 

I’m guessing that extra slot is for a putter considering it is way over from the rest of the set and you seemed to get all the other clubs.

[dcopp7]

Putter for sure

[Terreb]

That makes sense it being a missing putter. I'm surprised he didn't keep it with the set though. Thanks

[Swingingk]

It's great that the 1 iron came with the set. I've been on the lookout on and off for years trying to locate 1 irons for my several sets of 2-Pw Hagens from that era - very rare for sure. Beautiful!

[Stephen8802]

Not old, and not made of wood, but I'm very happy to have these two tools in exchange for a wallet-sized portrait of Andrew Jackson.

I needed the scale, but for $20 for the pair, I'll have some fun with the lie and loft machine as well.

 

 

[dcopp7]

Picked up a set 2-PW 1966 Northwestern Dick Metz Esquire irons with like new Wrap oversize grips for $5. Also grabbed an old steel head driver with a True Temper dynamic stiff steel shaft in it for a pull for a Snake Eyes head I have for 50 cents. Thrift store was 50% off sale.

[Fellaheen51]

Acquired these recently, way below FMV. Knew not what they had. The listing descriptive was for "Vintage Karsten Irons" and 1ST. But good accompanying pics were the tell. I'm rather smitten at the moment. They play better than anticipated. Even with the stiff Z-Z65 shafts. Perhaps a YTBD reshaft to more user friendly ones is in the future. If they remain worthy and stick around for awhile. Never know about these things, they come and they go.

They're 30+ years old, that's ancient in some circles. A wonky classic by my definition.

[Jiggered]

It's been so long since I've had the opportunity to post a new acquisition that I'm posting these twice!
