it's older then me... 64' 8802

JHR · October 17, 2005

My irons are Titleist 681's that are what 5-6 years old?

My Putter is a Cameron 3.5 that is maybe 5-6 years old as well.

Not really old, but not current either.

Ping eye 2's that I don't know when they were made.

LOL, the oldest I have in my bag is my White Hot, but my clubs I swing indoors are some old school Top Flite blades. I would guess they are about 20ish years old, maybe more.

Actually did some checking and found out that they are from about 1960. Top Flite Synchro Dyned.

TM 200 5 wood stock graphite shaft. Since it's debut all other clubs have been turned over at least three times. That is a very conservative number as well. It is just a solid club. It's not very hoish to have the stock shaft in it but I'm scared to change it. Again I'm as loyal to clubs as Benedict Arnold.

Hogan Directors (1981-85 model). And I just picked up an 8.5/10 backup set with matching serial numbers for $24.99 on eBay! :drinks:

These are the tiniest heads I have ever seen in a modern club, but they are incredibly easy to hit. I also use a 4+ fairway wood (Steelhead III) and have been experimenting with a Steelhead III driver (great results!). I find the smaller heads easier to hit. The ball just gets lost for me in the bigger irons and woods. Go figure. If only I could putt. :clapping:

Eye 2 SW (no plus 57.5*). Ping started making them in '83 I believe.

simmoboy · October 18, 2005

i just took my 200 series out of my bag but it will prob get back in there soon, not sure when they were made but they still are a very solid club.

580xd. That is as old as it gets!

Oldest club in my bag is my SS03 15º, when I play muni's and goof around w/ friends (that aren't as serious about clubs) my old ping anser.

br61 · October 18, 2005

After giving up on long and modern putters, I went back to my old TM TPA VI putter that I had bought sometime in mid 1980's. Been putting pretty well since then, it's like an old friend(or old hot girlfriend) revisisted. :drinks:

It's one of my 3 putters that has done well for me throughout the years that I never could bring myself to sell them.

bobby grace lo pro putter.

mat562 · October 18, 2005

Until recently I used a Taylor Made 3 wood that I got back in '91. I've also been tinkering with putters recently. Two Pings - an Anser 2 and a Pal - have both made appearances. The Anser 2 I got back in '89 and the Pal was one of the first "brand" clubs I got. My dad bought it for me in 1987...

The rset of the stuff's pretty new - Irons are 18 months or so-old Nikes and the driver's been in less than a year. 3 wood of the moment is about 2 months old, and my wedges are perhaps a year old.

I do occasionally (probably not until the summer now) use a 1-iron, and either the Cobra Norman Grind (1995 or so) Mizuno T Zoid Pro (1990-something) or Eye 2 BeCu (1989) go in...

Mr Mizuno · October 18, 2005

Well, I guess it's my Mizuno Faldo 56° wedge.

My Mizuno TP 18 are old aswell, but they aren't regulary in my bag.

great1putt · October 18, 2005

1974 or 5 Titleist Tour Model midsize forged blades.

Zach Heusser · October 18, 2005

That's the oldest club in my bag also... 19º with a steel shaft... plays just a rescue only cheaper... no complaints here :clapping:
51487[/snapback]

I have no idea why I benched mine for a couple of years for a hybrid. The raylor is still the best for me. I also play the 19. I just bought a backup the other day for $19.00 at a Play it Again Sports. Now I am going to throw a $200 fuji in a $19 head. :drinks:

icemakr · October 18, 2005

Not the oldest in my bag, but not new either.

My most trusted pal is a Sonartec TRC. I've tried probably 30 different hybrids/shaft combo's and nothing seems to knock it out.

GenErr · October 18, 2005

Cleveland RTG 60* wedge - its been in the bag for probably over 4 years.

Next oldest would be an old Tei3 Newport 2 putter which has been in and out of the bag for what seems

like forever, followed by the TM580XD driver which has been in the bag for well over two years (and absolutely

no thought of replacing it).

markheardjr · October 18, 2005

I had a cobra trusty rusty in there for a while, but it finally got replaced. Those were great wedges, I'd like to see a tri-soled wedge like those with some tour grooves.
