Talking Cult Clubs - What are your all time Favourites ???

[ChunkyChippy]

Had a horrible feeling that I was downgrading as I chopped in my 905R and MP33's for the shiny new toys on the block that were going to improve my golf no end (so I read) and instantly regretted it..

 

Getting that same sinking feeling now as I've just done the dirty on my trusty G410, who never did anyone any harm 😞

Srixon 745 irons. I tinker everything. Lord knows I try 5 different drivers each year and 10 shafts haha.

 

I always buy irons but none of them come even close to my 745s. I can't get them out of the bag

 

Best Players CB ever IMO

Agreed!  Gaming a mint set now.  As long as folks keep finding them nearly unhit in their garage I'll keep playing em.

Ping TISI Tec fairway woods. I play a 3 and have never found anything better for me. Miguel Angel Jimanez (sp.) played one until just a couple of years ago and I think DeMarco did until he started on the Senior circuit!

Same here, still playing my TiSi Tec 3 wood! Way ahead of its time and still the longest, straightest and easy to hit 3 wood ever made IMHO.

 

I also still play an Eye 2 LW (although I had to get the XG version to stay conforming). There may be lots of new high toe wedges out there theses days, but nothing plays like the OG Eye 2 (Often imitated, Never duplicated).

I loved my 975J and my Steelhead Plus strong 4, both with the EI-70 shaft.  Just got a used J last week off the bay - brings back some good memories.

 

I also had a set of TM 300 tour irons that I kept for a long time as a travel set (if the airlines break a club or lose my bag, I don't want it to be my gamers).  I upgraded those last summer to the 2013 X-Forged, and jeez, sometimes I'm tempted to make those my gamers!  2013 may be too new to be a cult classic, but they will be someday.

2010 Taylormade Raylor Hybrid, for someone with a fade/slice bias this thing is incredibly easy to hit.

 

I've developed my swing and now hook these off the planet, but for years they were a breeze to launch high, without fear of missing right. 

 

I've had quite a bit of trouble finding one that is as easy to hit, without the draw bias, G410 was my answer. It still doesn't feel like I could hit it blindfolded like my old Raylors though.

Sonartec hybrid with a Hybrex Helix Tour shaft.  Hit one of best shots of my life at Bandon Dunes with it.

[meliaant]

• Sonartec SS-03 3 wood
• V-Steel fairways
• R510 TP
• Ping i3 

[JakeW13]

I know they're not old enough to be considered a classic yet by most people, but I truly believe Ping's Blueprints are squarely within this category. If you look at how many non-contract players have been picking them up, it's clear Ping did something special with that set. I game them and I just don't see myself replacing them anytime soon. They're just so good, so easy to hit, and for me have some addicting quality that makes a solid strike incredibly satisfying.

Ping G 400 Max driver is the real deal. I finally settled on the shaft I will use, and this driver is just amazing. 

[theothertwo]

I still have the Bridgestone J33 CBs and my old Tommy Armour 845 Silver Scot irons.  I believe both had a cult like following.

[Benkross]

I'm partial to the Taylormade 2011 TP MCs because Daniel Berger and I have them. 😁

Another vote for this driver and recently I've been going straight from the Max to another cult classic, the F6 Baffler. Currently playing it at 17.5 with a 41 1/2 inch Chrome Elements + shaft that I found worked much better for me than the stock shaft. Even picked up a second F6 Baffler head for insurance as the current one looks like it's been hit about 2,000 times (but still performs as good as ever).

[PostandGhost]

Cobra L4V or Adams 9015D

[fred faldo]

don't know how old the clubs need to be to be considered but along with V-Steel fairway woods I personally can't get away from my Steelhead XR irons, if they are not a classic yet the will be some day. I tried to replace them with T-300s and they were great but I gravitated back to the Steelheads

[born2loose]

I only play oldies but goodies! In my bag are a Ping g2 driver (12 degree), Cobra SZ Hyper Steel fairways (4+, 7,9, though I own D-9) and Ping iSi irons (5-W). Not struggling to keep up with any of my playing partners and rando pairings, so I don't plan to switch out anytime soon!

2019 is the 15th anniversary for the MP32s. Maybe we're treated with a limited release similar to the Titleist 680s?

I have 2 sets! You will have to pry them from my cold dead hands when i die.

[M_B_H]

My 1984 Ping Eye 2 Red dot irons.....I had the full set....1-iron through the SW. My cousin bought them from me in the early 90s and he still has them in his garage. I go over there from time to time just to see them.

[FormerDimer]

 

-Ping ISI Driver w/ the OG UST ProForce Gold (aka Laker Launcher)

 

-SonarTec SS-01/2/3

 

[minhjn]

A lot of these aren't considered cult classics in my opinion, because they were very popular at the time they came out.  Just because a club is old doesn't make it a cult classic.

 

A couple of cult classics to me:

 

1) Sonartec fairway woods

 

2) Scratch wedges, specifically the 1018 and the 8620.  Popular on Golfwrx but not to the general golfing public.  I think we have Scratch to thank for making grind options go mainstream

 

3) Never Compromise putters

[SDC10]

V Steel 3w with Aldila NV 85x

still in the bag

[cah588]

Tommy Armour 845 EVO V31 irons.  Still gaming 3-LW.  Also, original Cleveland 588T (blade version) - had manganese bronze, RTG and satin sets.

[sshadow2]

I'm this close to buying a used set of PING i10s. Didn't necessarily have a cult following, especially compared to the i5s, but they were some of my first irons. I'd love to play them now with my current ability.

R7 CGB Max 3 wood

I’ll add one: 731 PM irons.  
 

These irons have me working on something very stupid right now......

I guess I should add the rest of the "DD's all time cult club bag:"

 

r510 TP

'07 Burner TP (by exactly one tiny hair over the V Steels)

Nickent 3DX Genex (by one sentimental hair over the OG RBZ's)

I find it interesting that, for me, the top of the bag is so TMAG heavy and the bottom of the bag so PING heavy!
