Everyone on WRX can't be an iron ho! What older sticks you gaming?

I rotate the bags of clubs I use. I have Infiniti IP-3 forged wedges, Wishon 919 driver and Adams A-4 Forged in play many times.

 

The A-4 will never be parted with. I will eventually re-shaft in stiff for my son as he loves the feel. He plays Wilson V-4 right now in stiff.

I bought myself a used set of Taylor Made Burner irons in 1997 for $500.

 

They are currently in my bag.

 

I am probably going to replace them this year.

CB3s, may be retiring them shortly though.

 

I love these irons, though I've never owned a set... what are you replacing them with? I'm thinking about going back to a mostly Ping bag this year... want to do a full custom fitting this summer (hopefully)

On my second set of 690.mb's. Played my first for seven years- close friend gave me his set he had in his basement that had been used for roughly a dozen rounds. So.. Set number two! Actually have a set of 681's at my father's home in Scottsdale that I haven't used in years after having them in the bag for two seasons. Should probably figure out what to do with those! :-)

 

681s rock. A shame they were never tested for the groove rule, that is why I switched to the 680s. I finally gave those up about 2 seasons ago when I switched to the 716mbs.

Old stuff:
1962 Tommy Armour AT2W Driver   1953 Macgregor M65W EOM 3 wood   1978 H&B PowerBilt Citation 4 wood
1984 Ben Hogan Apex PC 2-E   1968 Wilson Dual Wedge
1964 Acushnet O-SET M6S Bullseye Putter


New stuff
Cobra ZL 10.5 driver (Matrix HD6 s-flex)  Titleist TSR2 18* fairway wood (Matrix Code-8 s-flex)   Adams A2P 20* hybrid (Rombax 8D07HB s-flex)
Titleist 716 MB irons 4-PW (Apex 4 soft-stepped)    Callaway Mack Daddy wedges 52, 56, 60 (DG S200)
Odyssey ProType 9 putter

Ram Laser FX forged cavity back from roughly 1991. I keep buying new irons and keep going back. New irons hit the ball too far, I don’t need a 180 yard, 7 iron.

My oldest club I just returned to is a Wilson JP 55* sand wedge. Incredibly versatile club.

Cleveland Classic XL Driver
KE4 5 wood 17* 43”
Maltby MXU 23* 
Maltby Tricept TU 5 Iron
Wilson Pi5 6-PW
Wilson JP 55* SW
Ram Watson Troon Grind 58
Ray Cook M2 Mallet

1988 I got my first set of new golf clubs, an iron set of Wilson Staff Gooseneck. I was so very proud! :) I stuck with these clubs until early 2000 when I bought a new set of Nike Pro Combo. Then around 2011 I sold these because I hadnt played since around 2004, but every year from 2012 I would play a round or two with my old Gooseneck. Late 2017 I started playing more golf again and last year I bought a new set of Wilson Staff V4, which I really like...but man the feel of my old Gooseneck is still very tough to beat! :)
