Favorite vintage Titleist club?


Jilla

Recommended Posts

For me my first Titleist driver, a 975D 8.5° with True Temper EI70 XStiff shaft was very, very memorable.  I could hit that driver a ton.  I also loved the Titleist PT15 3 wood (2 bar) I gamed between 2001 and 2017.  To round my favorite Titleist clubs would be the Titleist 905S 9.5° driver.  I feel that the 975 through 905 drivers Titleist made were the best they ever produced.

Many didn’t remember the little brother to the 975D which was the 976R. It was slightly smaller & for me, more controllable than the D.

Titleist was the name brand of name brands for a kid growing up in the late 90s. My parents splurged and got me a set of DCI 981s that I played all through high school, college and years after. From 98 to 2013. Don't get the love that the 962 or 990s get, but they were incredible for me.

 

975D driver, 8.5' with the graffaloy shaft was another favorite, along with 983K with YS-6 shaft.

 

But my all time favorite, still in the bag, is the Scotty Cameron Teryllium Two Santa Fe putter. Got it in 2001 and have only played another putter the few times I rented clubs since then. Been re-gripped more times than I can count, though!

Depends on how far back we consider vintage. "Older" I'd say 975J and 690.MB, for newer I'd say the 909 woods (I was one of the few who loved 909's, apparently), 910 woods and 710 AP2's and MB's. For whatever reason, that run of Titleist products just really hit with me. If I can hedge a little more, I'll say the 712 AP2's, as they're still in my bag. Vokey 200 series and og spin milled are another strong contender.

I make sure to reminisce with my 983e about 10 rounds a year. 

 

Love it.

Yes! I have the 983e with the OG green Adila NV shaft and love putting it into play a few times a year. My 905T gets out too!

I can't believe there's no love for the Howitzer!🤣

 

My old man had one.  Duck hook machine for me.  But you heard that thing from three fairways over.

The 990B’s I grew up playing are probably #1. Will eventually get another set for nostalgia. 
 

Have multiple 975D’s from my HS days and my bore thru PT15 w/ Steel. 
 

Recently acquired a nice set of 681’s I need to shaft and play my 86 Tour Models quite a bit.
