Oldest Club in the Bag?


14max

Recommended Posts

My irons - 1999 Ben Hogan Apex blades. This set is my second set. My first was back in 1999 when these were initially offered. I gamed them for 3 or 4 years before replacing them with Mizuno MP32s. My current set has been in my bag since 2013 or so (with exceptions of trying two other sets - short lived). My putter has been in my bag since 2014. Both the irons and putter are not going anywhere any time soon.

3W:  TaylorMade M4 15°, Graphite Design Tour AD DI 7S

Hybrid:  TaylorMade Sim2 2 Iron Hybrid 17°, Mitsubishi Tensai AV Raw Blue 80 stiff

Irons:  Mizuno Pro 223 4-PW, Nippon Modus3 Tour 120 stiff

GW / SW: Mizuno T-22, 52° (bent to 50°)/ 56° (bent to 54°), True Temper S400

LW:  Scratch Golf 1018 forged 58° DS, Nippon Modus3 Tour 120 stiff

I think you’re the winner thus far but my dad may be close. Still games a John Reuter Bullseye from the same era. Got it from his dad when he was a kid and is in his 70s now.

 

Same as one featured in WRX’s “Why was it great” (can’t post link bc I am new...)

It was definitely my "Original" Ping Scottsdale Anser from 1965..... BUT I sold it last week so it is now a pair of Miura Tour Black wedges that I got back in 2007 when I started working for Miura Golf Inc.

I never putted well with the Ping Anser so I don't miss it (Replaced with a Miura KM007) but those wedges are here for the duration..... I have 2 sets of them so I am good to go for quite some time. :)

I just replaced my 1990 Ram Laser FX cavity back forged irons, but I started using my 1981 Wilson JP 55 Sand wedge. I have a heel shafted offset flange bullseye putter I need to get adjusted so I can use it again. I think I got that around 1979.

Tour Edge Exotic CB2 18* 5 wood is the oldest, but that isn't saying much. I recently picked up an original rocketballz tour 5 wood to combo with the tour 3 I had in the shed when my clubs were stolen. The TEE stays in the bag until I can get on a launch monitor and see if the rbz performs better.

 

If anything can go right, it might!

That one is a classic. Not really oversize and it sits pretty square...

If they work of course they're good. When did the 909s release?

That is a club model I haven't heard of in a while. R.I.P. Adams Golf. Great clubs all around...

The PP line was excellent. I always wished they had a Catalina model...

V-Steel and original Steelheads are where it's at. Great club in the right hands even now...

DANG...I really kinda dig the sight of the FyBrid. I bought a full set of those for my F-i-L who, sadly can no longer play due to age (his, not the clubs')...

The RBZ love is something I appreciate but never understood. It's excellent to read that these clubs are still in play...
