New shoes!

 

My Vans are 20ish years old, but only have about 45-50 rounds with 35ish of those in the last 2 months (I didn't play as much as I will now). Problem is I can't get over some of the new shoes. Maybe I'm old school, but I like a nice but casual golf shoe.

 

I took the spikes out of my Mcgregor Powers and wore them to prom in '89. They looked great. 🤣

 

But I also can't bring myself to pay $150+ for any shoe, golf or otherwise, so that is a limiting factor.

 

If I could get a new pair of Vans, I'd be set.

I would look for older iron sets. Years ago I found a set of Maxfli A-10 irons, the ones that went from cavity back to blade-ish, still caked in mud, for $125 or so.  What a steal!  I played them for at least a couple of weeks before re-selling them...

Vans made golf shoes?  As a former skate rat who still enjoys following skating that sounds nice...

I actually bought them for my son when he was in high school (found them at Ross or Marshalls on sale) but he only played once (then). So I started wearing them. I'll clean them up and post a pic.

 

<Edit> something like this would be nice.

A set of Hogan Redlines. 

played them, PC and apex II fora decade, all with apex 4 shafts....still have my apex IIs and i go look at them and note how tiny the heads are. found the redlines, both models, to be fabulous irons. played mostly a slight cut shot with them, very fine feeling...

 

have always loved my hogan blade phase, but JP had a very nice, disciplined swing back then...now, older...he uses cb designs. 

 

jp always wanted a set of macgregor pmb irons, just so stupendously sexy. he plays pcb tours still, but coveting shiny things is his weakness

You have $150 to spend at a used golf store:

If the heads were not too beat up, I would be tempted to buy one of the following iron models:

  • Ping Eye2 - oops, better ones can run close to $300
  • Tommy Armour 845 Silver Scot - $150 will do it easily

(Please don't tell my wife I'm having bad thoughts!! 😮)

Have purchased several sets of Ping Eye2 irons for <$150 on eBay that were in good shape. Even grabbed a Becu set (5-S) in good shape for about that on eBay.

You're tempting me! About four years ago, a WRX thread mentioned Eye2 irons. I chimed in, and someone sent a PM offering me a BeCu 1i through LW for $300, if I remember right. That would have been 13 clubs... If playing them, I would need to drop a club so I could fit in a putter and a driver.

I have '59 Starbursts, '65 PCs, Radials and my current gamers, '99 Apex, but I've never hit Redlines and I want to know if they're really better than the '99s. 

 

I hardly play these days so I'm getting a set of Apex FTX for some help in the long irons.

Go to the used Cobra section - anything more than 2 years old, and values drop like they fell off a cliff. Most underrated clubs anywhere, and bonus is that since they are so hard to sell on for a decent price, no guilt in hoarding their clubs. There'll be a set of MIM tours in my bag in 2 years 😉 so if anyone gets tired of theirs and willing to ship to Norway - you know where to find me.

 

Or, buy a bunch of Cleveland putters - Huntington Beach soft or the new Frontline models.

well, the starbursts, the precisions and the power thrusts are all hogans JP has coveted, more just to hit them a bit, don't need to own them...has considered just ebaying a 6-7 iron of each just get at them...

 

the precisions/personals really are the dillio as so many irons launched off of that design it seems and he's hit plenty of mp14s in his life...the power thrusts, esp +, look really cool but the starbursts look like stuff you can use today....that hogan guy and his crew had great eyes for design, and then theyd throw a donkey out every so often...

 

as a side note, werent the 99's endo forged? embarrassed to say jp has never hit a 99 apex. 😞
