I recently put in my bag a Bridgestone J33 5 wood.  Found the head on eBay for cheap and paired it with a Diamana Whiteboard.  It’s performed as good as any so far.  Sets up great behind the ball and I hit it the distance I need for a five wood.  

Driver: Titleist TSi3 9*- Mitsubishi Diamana Whiteboard D+ 60 X-Stiff

Fairway Woods: Titleist TSR3 15* Mitsubishi Diamana Whiteboard D+ 70 X-Stiff

Hybrid: Titleist TSR2 18* Fujikura Motore Speeder 8.8 X-Stiff

Irons: Titleist T100(2019) 3, 5-PW KBS C-Taper 130X

Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM8 50* KBS C-Taper 130X, 54* & 58* KBS 610 Wedge 125.

Putter: Odyssey Stroke Lab #10 

Ball: Titleist Pro V1(2023)

Who’s playing steel shafted woods? Anyone?  Better yet, woods made of wood. 

 

I do that regularly, but they're not in the #1 slot in the bag these days.  I started 2020 season with Orlimar persimmons, driver/3w, and stuck with them for a couple months before the tinkering bug bit me.

The oldest club that never leaves is a Titleist 983E with a Speeder shaft. I've hit the new stuff, and just don't care for how big the heads are theses days. It might only be 365cc but the distance lost is minimal for me at least. I've also got a trio of 1950's MacGregor 4-woods that regularly rotate through the bag and are probably the oldest thing on the course at any given time. They hit just as well as my hybrid with a slightly lower trajectory, but nothing beats the look on people's faces when you pure a 70 year old persimmon.

Same here...TM Rescue Dual (19).  It totally should not work for me...stock R-Flex shaft and I swing a driver around 108...but it just plain works for me.  From my experience, you don't mess around and try to replace a hybrid if you get along with it.

My entire bag is old clubs.

 

Vsteel 3 and 5 woods- 2001

Taylormade r7 TP irons- 2008

Vokey wedges- 2006 and 2011?

Odyssey metal X putter- 2012

 

Only real "new" club is my driver 913 driver

- Callaway X-20 Tour Irons (3-PW but I use 4-PW) - I’ve had them for over a decade and likely won’t change soon

- Bettinardi BB8 - likely from early 00s. Bought on eBay recently for $75 to replace my dreaded Stroke Lab Double Wide. It has the gold colored insert. Played one round with it and loved it. Starting to think I’m not an oversized grip and plastic insert kind of guy.

one guess....1969 Ping Anser 029 34" long step made in usa top rail...bot new for $20 in 1969...has made miles of putts over the last 52 years

 

it's the "sound of feel"...the most underestimated and overlooked component of any putter

I’m pretty sure my driver, putter, and Steelhead XR’s are all from 2016.  There hasn’t been a new driver that can sniff that GBB for consistency for me.  G410 and MAVRIK SZ were close.  That driver is just a beast.  Don’t see anything knocking it out.

I have a full set of Ginty woods, and still carry the original Ginty "7" in the bag.  One of the first rescue/hybrid style clubs.  7-iron loft, 4-iron shaft length, wood head with a very heavy V shaped sole plate.  Such a great club out of snaggy lies.
