What clubs in the last 15 years qualify as "unicorns"?

[bladehunter]

Titleist 907D4

Titleist 915D5

Any tour issue titleist blade without the model number designation. ( example tigers 1st titleist set , not the T irons ).

Vokey hand ground wedges

13 degree TM Vsteel paint break heads

Oven dot and 2 dot TW vapor speed Driver

V10 stamped Nike VR blade

H And L stamped callaway razr MB irons

Callaway MB1 irons

Miura Small blade 1 iron head.

Titleist AP2 2 iron head

Big D serial. Numbered callaway rogue Driver ( draw bias)

7 tungsten plug Adams mb2 irons

 

 

[Lancj1]

Ping eye 2 irons. So many people allegedly still “gaming” them. I haven’t seen a set on a golf course since the mid 90’s !

[grm24]

For the left handed crowd.....

 

TM R500 Driver (border line 15 years)

TM R580XD TP Driver

TM 2005 RAC TP irons

TM Jetspeed Tour Issue fairway woods

[hack2489]

The word gets thrown around a lot in the BST, seemingly reserved for clubs that were unexpectedly good or popular, and have remained popular beyond the standard cycle. Having a 50+ page thread on here seems to be a pre-requisite too!

 

Just for fun, two questions

1. When someone says unicorn, what do you think it should mean?
   
2. What are your favourite unicorns?
   

I'll start - UDI 1 iron, Adams BTY Fairway wood, R510 TP driver?

 

Since 2005, the only club I can think of that is still revered to this day is the 905R. Don't get me wrong, I love the R510TP (in fact I have one myself) but that was made in 2003 (I think), not 2005 (you said last 15 years, not last 17).

 

Though i'll admit I didn't check the numbers before posting, 2003 is 15 years ago by my maths? Regardless, 905r is a great suggestion!

 

905r ... Really? ?

 

I was about to give mine to my nephew, since he got some ok shots away with it on Sunday.

 

He's 13. Rarely plays.

 

Might just keep it then. ?

Ashton E3 driver head.

[High Plains Driver]

A unicorn is something magical that is never/rarely seen, so I'd agree on the Adams BTY's and CMB's.

Pm me if that shaft is ever for sale. I’m a buyer.

[Nick6771]

SLDR C ???? ;)

[bobcat]

SLDR-C?

 

RIGHT ON!..... :good:

 

THE 2015 SLDR-C WAS TAYLORMADE'S LAST 'CLASSIC' TITANIUM DRIVER CLUBHEAD!

I loved my SLDR but it’s second behind the 510 tp df

I think a unicorn is one of those clubs that just works for you, even if you got the exact same club to spec it doesn't perform like the original "unicorn". Think of Tiger Woods "Elder Wand" Scotty Cameron, try as they might they have never been able to replicate it completely.

 

Favorite unicorns for me:

1. Cleveland CG14 60-degree wedge w/zip grooves

2. Original Odyssey #7 White Hot (still in the bag)

3. TaylorMade R7 Titanium 3 wood (ridiculously long and easy to work left/right and up/down)

[bodhi555]

Actually, I'll add another one - the Nike Vapor Fly Pro 2/3 Iron. Just check out the prices they go for if they ever turn up for sale - the Brooks effect in full force.

[UnderPar18]

Adams MB2

Superquad 282

Taylormade Yellow Flag wedges

Mizuno MP 68

Taylormade 05 Rac TP Irons

 

[erock9174]

Cleveland hibore 2w for sure.

 

 

Rarer than a $3 bill

[bladehunter]

I think I have a mint one of these. I may have to check later. Is that the one with the caved in crown ? Awful when you don’t know what you have. Lol

[jwb10]

Easy, Eye 2s

 

[MuskieCy]

Adams Tour A gap wedge.

 

Bought a second set with one just for it. Good thing is, only cost $200.

[Dr.Frankenputz]

Would the rapture driving iron qualify?

[MrFlapjack]

2014 Rapture 3 wood I think fits the bill

[VNutz]

2014 Rapture 3 wood I think fits the bill

 

Agreed. So hot, and gone so quickly.

[aiyyer]

Adams MB2

Bridgestone J40 irons

[KRW59]

A little older than 15 years....but maybe a one of a kind set......

'99 Hogan Apex 2 iron thru E wedge with Apex 3 graphite shafts.

Had these built for me by the Hogan Ft. Worth custom shop after

my first hand surgery ... as a rehab set ...

[Mitchell]

Taylormade non-XD r580tp, original Ping Rapture tour 13* strong 3, Titleist tour cleek

[MtlJeff]

2014 Rapture 3 wood I think fits the bill

 

Agreed. So hot, and gone so quickly.

 

Fitting description..."fits the bill"

 

Because the bill for that club was outrageous. I think Bob Parsons got the idea for PXG based solely on that club

 

[Noke]

Cobra King LTD has to be in the conversation.

 

For the HiBore 2 Wood unicorn crowd- try the SLDR S 460 16* driver. Easier to find and better (for me). That’s the unicorn in my bag. Ball flight is nuts. Instant launch with low spin.

Agreed. I only have one cause I hit the boxing week $99 insane-a-sale at Golftown.
