Eye2 should be on every list or its invalid

 

I think Cleveland TA7 are in the pantheon too. So good they remade them years later. To me they were the modern Eye2

[Aviador Naval]

Wilson Staff Blade (the choice of all serious golfers in my youth - 51yrs old)

Hogan Apex Redline 1988 (best muscleback ever)

Ping Eye 2 (I didn't like them but they're indisputably iconic)

AP2 (GI playability in a small/mid chassis)

 

Would love to include MP-33 but there are only 4 spots on Rushmore...

[BIG STU]

Macgregor VIP

Macgregor FC-4000

Macgregor 1957 Diamondbacks

Macgregor Nicklaus Muirfields

Hogan 1954 Precisions

Hogan 99 Apex

If going JDM MP-33 even though the 99 Apex are Endo Forged

Yeah I screwed up I know Mt Rushmore only has 4 spots

[jg1166]

What about the Adms MB line, the Problack and the MB2 (Tour) with the 7 tungsten weights

[jonn443]

J15CB, X forged 2013, MP-53, and 745s.

 

 

 

However, If we are going LEGENDARY irons...

 

MP-14,Mac VIP, Ping Eye2, and TM 300s

[rawdog]

Big Berthas?

 

Cobra F7 OL might join one day.

[jjharrs2]

Eye 2 Any list without them is invalid

TA 845

JPX 900 Really think they will usher in a new era of free agents or Mizzy contract players in the years to come.

Ben Hogan Edge Anytime I think of the stereotypical blade look, these are the ones that pop in my head.

[Golfingfanatic]

Miura Baby Blade

Ping Eye2

Mizuno MP-14

Titleist Tiger Proto

[BearQ]

I can only list what I’ve played or hit

 

Srixon z945

Bridgestone j15cb

Nike VR pro combo

Taylormade R7 tp

[nolixul]

I don't know how you'd not have a Mac blade and a Wilson blade, given their history of use on the pro tours. I guess the Eye2 has to go in. I'd then add a Mizuno blade, again based on pro tour use over the years.

[peaco1de]

Mizuno MP4

Hogan Apex 99

Titleist 690.MB

Mizuno MP33

[jplroper]

Ping Eye 2

Tommy Armour 845

Titleist 962

Hogan Red Line Blade

The Presidents on Mt. Rushmore are regarded as doing alot for the masses, hence the first 3 choices, also they where popular. The Hogan blade represents when that was predominantly the only choice. Probably better choices than the redline, but I like the script on the back of the club.

[Superbrit]

Ben Hogan Personal's

Taylormade 300 Lehman Satin's

Srixon Z945 Black

Vega VDC-01 Raw

[TPG1971]

Mizuno blades are largely copies of old MacGregor designs. For that reason, I wouldn't include them.

 

For what little it's worth, my list:

 

Hogan Precision

Wilson Staff Dynapowers / Fluid Feels

Ping Eye2

Golden Ram Tour Grinds

 

I freely admit I'm going with a total bias pick for my fourth, instead of including the VIP/Muirfields.

On that #4 pick I would not expect anything different from you :taunt: In fact surprised it was not #1 on your list

I *do* like Rams quite a bit, but I'm not completely blind to reality. LOL
