Oldest Club in the Bag?

[webwarmiller]

My 588 Blades...the ones actually from 1988.

Is this the smooth sole version? Great shape...

It is and I totally get that. The latest and greatest certainly has its appeal and the ride is a lot of fun...

Those are tiny. Miura Baby Blades tiny, right?

[Christen_The_Sloop]

Tourstage MR23 US SPEC CBs 4-PW Shigeki Maruyama shot his 59 with them, if I remember correctly. 2001 - https://www.bs-sports.co.jp/press/2001/MR-23/mr23_us_iron_1.html

 

I've only played 3 times this year due to a baby girl arriving and having another under 3. Still averaging a shade over 80. These irons are going no where and I've got more than a few sets that I'd like to give a chance.

 

Also bag an Odyssey White Hot Rossie II from around 2001.

I think they are 'normal' sized for a blade of that era. I would say they are even a hair larger than my 962B's.

Oldest in the bag in terms of release date would be the Taylormade TPA XVIII putter, but the club that's actually been in the bag the longest is the TM R9 4w, and I have tried lots of other clubs to replace it, but it still hangs in there.

Now when I go back to the UK, I still play the no-brand putter and original Titleist Tour Models that I played as a junior. They've been in the bag for 30 years or so.

[Old Tom Morris]

Titleist Pro Trajectory 980F 17* Aldila NV 75g . Over 15 years old but cannot find anything straighter.

2009/10 for me with my Kombi S

[courcy75]

Oldest club in the Bag is my JAT but longest in the bag is my 07' Burner TP 3 wood. Actually got the itch to replace it this year but man it has been good to me over the years.

[toofastlx]

GBB War Bird Titanium 4 wood. i've played it for 20 +/- years. it's a monster and still holds its own against the new tech. the old grafalloy pro lite won't budge either.

What a great club. I have fond memories of my Warbird 4 and Heavenwood with EI-70 shafts. Incredibly consistent and indestructible...

I truly do envy you guys who can use putters like the JAT and 8802-style. They're beautiful to look at but, in my hands, the results are always ugly...

think prob for me its an Adams 212 OS hybrid i picked up like new but is second hand

its 4# replacement that i sometimes put in the bag, think they were released around 2011/12 so 7 ish years old that one

How is the Stability shaft working out for you in that head? How different is it from the stock shaft?

Those TM TPA putters sure have a cult following. What is it about it that suits your eye?

How's that insert on the Rossie II holding up? I remember seeing a shot of Steve Stricker's White Hot 2 insert and it looked pretty worn...

Seven years in golf time is bordering on an eon anymore. It's great that it remains reliable and in play occasionally...

Mizuno MP-32 3-pw (2004?)

Titleist 904f 5w (2004?) an absolute rocket launcher

Tad Moore TM-5 Putter (1995????)

My wedges and driver are from this decade

I’m picking it up from the shop today! I just changed it in the signature, I’ll give a little review after the weekend

[sprcoop]

Titleist 910D2 10.5, 910F 15 and 910H 19 from around 2010?

3-PW Mizuno MP60 from around 2004?

TourModel III 2i and SW from around 1990?

OLDEST - Cobra Anvil 005 putter ($5 from swap meet around 1989). Anybody know release date? I've looked and never found it.

What's really interesting in that setup is the 2 and SW. How do those clubs play? Do you notice a difference between them and the forged Mizunos you're bagging?

The Tad Moore is so classic. Love the dovetail look with the flowneck. I had a TM-4 for a while and remember it being very soft but giving a slight click when making contact. Sweet, sweet putter...

I just hit my lines better with a heel shafted putter. I tend to steer/curve face balanced putters on anything that isn't a straight putt.

[Night Putter]

588 SW bought in Tokyo 1991

 

Kasko K2k around 2000, 16* and 19*

[Jack Pearsall]

Not sure as most of his clubs are older...maybe his putter?

[rrordona]

For me I still use my TM 200 Smoothie in 13*. Same old EI70 shafts. It's just so consistent that nothing can beat it. Other than that I still use my original Scotty Cameron Newport in gun blue finish. Many grip changes and it's due for a refinish. Only been benched recently as I'm using a TM spider tour my kids gave me.

[egehoski]

Ben Hogan Apex Plus from ‘99. Apex 4 shafts. Went back to them this year, and they are as good or better for me than anything out there nowadays.

[benbbcck]

Titleist 585H 19* with DG x100. Been in the bag since the day I bought (around 13 or 14 years). Nothing has ever been able to kick it out.

[Canthelion]

Cleveland classic #1. I reshaft and regrip it every now and then and it feels as good as new. pretty certain the head weight is around 345 and I add a tip weight to 355, play it at 34 inches. rest of the bag is modern stuff, Rtx4 wedges, srixon 785s, u85 2 iron, and Titleist TS3 driver/3wd

[mizunotpz]

I game an old Bronze Anser putter, but it says Phoenix on it so I guess its not that old. Had an original from the early 80s which I sold stupidly , but picked this one up a few years ago. Anyone knows how old it might be? I also game an Adams Super Idea hybrid from around 2010-2012. Otherwise the rest of my bag is not older than 2-3 years and irons and driver from this year (i210 and F9). And, I almost forgot, from time to time I also put my Spin Milled 62 degree with square grooves in the bag. Its still in very good shape and spins like nothing else (maybe with the exception of the first generation of Callaway Jaws who came out in 2010ish?) and its super soft feeling.
