Anything throwback you’d like to see revived?

Ball washers on every hole, water coolers ever 6 holes.

 

They don't slow the round down and hey, who does't want clean balls? 

 

 

 

 

 

The lack of water coolers is super irritating.

Allow metal spiked golf shoes again! Loved the sound, walking from the lot to pro shop...always felt like a real ball player, or a gunslinger, before the round.

Not to mention, my feet never slipped in wet grass.

Titleist 962B irons

[Honman]

No alignment aids on drivers.

 

Titleist 975D grey limited edition TSR3 with the triangle rather than TSR on the crown (would be printed for aerodynamics).

 

Wedge grinds like the Solus wedges. 

 

Nike wedges. SV Tours were great. But most nike wedges were really good. 

 

A modern day Sonartec revival. Hitting a sonartec well was the nearest thing a metal wood had been to puring a blade. 

 

Hybrids that work as well as the old Adams Idea Pro and Super LST.

 

Yes! Putters. I believe TaylorMade still own the name. Sell it, let someone do something interesting with it.

 

Same goes for Srixon- bring back the black and grey Never Compromise putters.

Yes! Putters has been revived (as a Korea domestic market brand... includes some forged offerings). Link: http://yes-putter.com/about/

Good knowledge!  Designs are fairly generic but no reason this couldn't be a global launch.

Those Never Compromise were some of the best looking designs for sure....but they were hard as rock!

My brother stills plays one.  Same one for 20 years.

Which Never Compromise putters specifically = "hard as rock"?

I had the Voodoo's (aluminium?) ... and they felt ok with a 2-pc Soft Feel.

 

Perhaps the Alpha/Delta/Gamma/Kappa "Z/I" NC predecessors = a bit hard-feeling?

I'd love to see an adapter laden reincarnation of the TISI Tec 3 wood. It's the best 3 wood Ping have ever made and the shallower faces in recent years don't remotely compete with it for me. Like the TSI2 three wood the face height/width etc was just divine. 

[cals]

Been wishing for years for a Ping Eye 2 reissue with legal grooves. Stronger lofts - maybe a 47* PW so still sorta classic and hydropearl finish.

I read the entire thread to see if anyone remembered Sonartec, and how damned good they actually are/were.

[joostin]

Another Adams vote, from the chains of TM.  Give it another go with a full line of clubs - irons, hybrids, woods, drivers.

[Hernasco]

Steel spikes for golf shoes.  I hate modern sneaker golf shoes.

In 2022 I really noticed the lack of water coolers or free water anything. An extreme example, Played a tournament at a course that would not allow players to bring their own water/gatorade/powerade said;"we're in the business of selling beverages". Will never play that course again.

Royal Collection still makes clubs. Google it. You'll find them in Japan. 

[cardoustie]

Mp37 short iron offset in other brands

 

tisi tec fairways with a hosel that doesn’t fail

 

the old finish on Ping irons

 

golf balls That I can pull off big fades with my irons

[PowderedToastMan]

I’d like PING to go back to casting their tour irons. I miss the days of not having to worry about getting my lofts and lies checked. 

[BCC1898]

Headcovers with socks.

I found the grey colored face material to be clicky from memory.  Did they ever mill it or find an insert?  Obviously  different strokes for different folks re: feel 

[minhjn]

The adjustable sole plate on the R11 seemed like a feature that really worked 

[NRJyzr]

In the "there is no way this would actually happen" or "yes, I realize this isn't realistic" category....

 

I would love to see the pro tours return to using persimmons (or laminates) and blades, exclusively.  Let's see who the real players are.

 

We don't have to go all the way back to liquid core wound balls, but the Maxfli Revolution / A10 / M3 / Srixon Hi-Brid Tour type of solid core wound balls would be a nice touch.

 

If we're going to dream, why not go all out.  LOL

 

[JAM01]

TP Mills putters, the custom one offs are great, would like some modern Spaulding classics, carbon metal. 

[otto6457]

Scotty Cameron Oil Can finish and kilties.

[mat562]

Another vote for beryllium Eye 2s and other beryllium wedges of yesteryear.

 

Or they could just rescind the pathetic and ineffective groove rule and I'll play my old ones.

Honestly, no. Golf equipment doesn't seem like the right place for reissues. 

 

I can't think of a single club that isn't either available on Ebay or readily available in some improved form today.

More of less this for me.  I collect older stuff (relative for each generation) because I like it and play it. 

 

I've even put together a bag for '23 that I could very well just use full-time of stuff I've liked over the years.  I mean I just got another set of MP33s' for $200 cdn, how much is a reissue going to cost today...

[mat562]

It almost goes without saying, but a remake of the Mizuno TN87 would have me parting with  some cash.

[pmang]

I210 irons. I still feel these are better than any other irons they’ve put out.

[DE-ILLINI]

 Callaway woods with old school gray finish.  Ping irons without ferrules.
