Thrift Store Jackpot

[pymmdcp]

Some sweet grips there too!

 

I love the grips and they are practically new. $22 out the door ready to play with an extra 8 iron. I like the look of the “‘85 Tour Blade” better but the sole is too think. I gamed a set for awhile that I just couldn’t make work. I am hoping the thinner soles on the 88’ model works better for me.

They are just so nice. Congrats! Hope you have a Wilson bag for them!

Not yet. It’s now on the list.

Great score on the Wilsons and the Bullseye

[hnryclay]

I did not know that, thanks for the information. I think for the most part Wilson Staff gets a bad rap for the Wilson store line brands, but the Staff line is very solid, and they are very playable.

[Tumbleweed_1968]

Well, I play the store variety of Wilson and have no complaints. Found a few staffs, but no irons yet...

I see a Ram PW. What are the Wilsons? I can't make out the model name.

My experience with Wilson store models has been mixed at best. Had a set of Super Powers a few years back that were very solid but overall the store models I've had were pretty crappy compared to Staffs.

I believe store models are a complete crap shoot with Wilsons. If you get an iron that's not way off spec with a decent shaft in it they can be fine. However, specs tended to be all over the place and most store model clubs got pretty crappy shafts.

The Ram PW is a Gene Littler. Wish I could find the rest of the set. I have seen them online, but nothing locally.

 

The Wilsons are K-28s. They were the first forged blades that I obtained from the thrift store.

A whole mess of clubs at my favorite GW. There is decent stuff I left behind here. I grabbed the Goosenecks (with S100 shafts, which I don't know if I've ever even seen before) a Never Comp is mint condition and that TM I was talking about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joe-

 

A great set.

Wilson even made a few LH Gooseneck irons, with the Staff and "W/S" shield.

Quite rare.

Just picked up this nice find on my lunch hour. Tommy Armour 845's 2-PW with nice tour wrap grips and original shafts. $10. These need some cleanup and then they are going on "The Bay" for some paypal mad money.

I just stopped in to Savers (I have to remind myself to get in there once in a while) yesterday and there was (I believe) a set of 855s and 845s. Also a busted (5,6,7,8) set of Cobra Lady irons. A TM bag - an old Wilson bag.

 

 

I played 845s for 10 years.

Nice find... I'm looking for a set of those around here.

Doug, PM me. I've got a slug of 845's

Sweet! Will do!

Nice. I played the oversize model in high school. Loved them.

Keeping the Wilson streak alive. Picked these up for $1 each.

LoL, well. Look what I just picked up this morning. FG-17 with Regular shafts 3-9, Tour Blade 7 Iron, Hogan Directors Legend 4 shafts (4,5,7,8,9,E). The streak is real...

The old Hogan Legends shafts...bigger butts than the Kardashian sisters.

Nice PY. Have gone through two sets of FG-17's. Find them, buy them, play them, can't hit them, sell 'em. It's what we do. Now have other Wilson Staffs irons to futz with.

 

Anyhow. Have a Wilson Staff Tour Blade PW. The model immediately preceding the 17's. Pretty good condition, crappy grip. Can't determine the flex as the shape band is sufficiently worn. Feels stiffish. Yours for the cost of shipping (assuming you're here in the States) from me to you. Until you find a FG-17 fill. PM if interested.

 

Edit: (That didn't sound right.)

LOL. It only sounds right in the context of golf clubs. I won’t be playing these. They cleaned up great but the shafts won’t do for me and I tried these a few years back without much success. Thank you so much for the offer but I am going to sell these to fund this hobby/obsession. I have a rather pricey 2003 Hogan Apex 9 Iron I need to raise money for.

I remember years ago 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and some of the 90s, when Wilson Staff set the bar. If you used WS you were considered a player. Unfortunately, beginning with the introduction of Titanium and younger competition they did not move with the times. They still make good irons but have never captured the eye of a newer generation.

[pymmdcp]

What a day. I found this JP II Custom Grind Wedge to go with my Fluid Fields I found on Monday. Just needs a new grip.

 

 

[pymmdcp]

Here’s the pic. Would like better condition but it’s playable. What a day

You are darn skippy it is playable!! Love JP Wilson wedges. Trust me you can play that thing for a long while.

[dcopp7]

Found a Cleveland 588 53* wedge with a sweet Lamkin grip at GW yesterday for $2.99. Score!

[Joe85]

There's some GCD (I think they're called) Hogan Edges at my closest GW.

 

 

 

I've seen them before. What I'm shocked at is how amazing the factory grips are. They are so fresh and rubbery - I almost am more enamored with old, pullable/sellable grips on clubs these days than I even am on the clubs themselves.

 

 

 

These old Hogan grips are like Cords of some sort...I am almost certain I could pull the lot with my Golfsmith tool. I just don't have the time for them right now nor do I know how much I could flip them for.

[Joe85]

Tour Stage Z101 irons. 2 through PW but the 7 iron was not there. Grabbed an old Taylormade bag yesterday and some Ecco shoes that looks like they hadn't been worn more than a couple times.
