The anti ho club, longest living club in a WRXer's bag

[manima1]

2016 M2 Tour Issue Deep Face 3HL (16.8*).  

 

^^ these things are/were legendary.  I see near-driver ball speeds with this thing at 4W loft.  Will play it until it breaks.

[J_Tizzle]

Bobby Grace F22.

 

While its mostly because its a great putter, side saddle options are pretty limited and its by far the highest quality of the ones I have.

Ditto (although mine's just a stiff shaft).  I also have a spare in my backup/holiday bag.  The Anser 17 is a sensational club.

The entire Anser hybrid line is so good. I own the 17°, 20°, and 23° and they are by far the best hybrids in my opinion. They look so good at address and they still get the job done 8 years after being released

[GolfNasty]

Irons: Cleveland TA3s since 2000.

Fairway Wood: Ping Persimmon 6 wood since 1995.

 

Both are headed out next season though with T100 irons and a U505 driving iron.

[MileHighGuye]

Taylormade OG Burner 5 wood (2009). So good I also put the 3 wood in the bag.

[asKaasa]

Don’t know why I am posting in this thread.

[DixieD]

23* G25 hybrid, 210 yard cheat club. Tried countless times to dethrone it to no avail. Dont bother anymore.

[m3fuz]

Studio Stainless Newport 2.5 from the early-mid 2000s.  Love that putter.  

[wayne18]

Odyssey White Ice #2 putter (2010)

[davechen]

Original Odyssey Rossie I from the early 90s.  I've used the same putter for almost 30 years.  Never felt a need to change.

[Motoboss]

Ping Eye 2, 3 thru sw since 1991. Woods have come and went along with putters but the irons haven’t changed.

 

At some point they will change as I’m waiting on my first new (and only second) set of irons, G425’s…...

although I’ve been waiting for for 5 months now.

I had my Zing 2's in the bag since about '97 until last year. Of course I'm on my 5th set waiting on 6th since. 🤣 

 

I didn't play nearly as much as I do now.

[14max]

Oldest clubs in the bag are 1982 PING Eye2, but longest in the bag is...well, the same.  I've had them since last year.

[coops]

I have been using my Epon AF-301s since March 2008, and not had any urge to replace them.

 

I've now put my old Adams 9015D driver back in the bag (with a new Diamana ZF shaft) - got it from Sellinger's in the US back in early 2009 I think. Used a Mizuno the Craft 611 driver for a while... but now realise I really should never have stopped using the Adams... but at least I kept the head 😇

 

[MUNIGRIT]

Mine are both from 2009.

 

19 degree TM Rescue 

 

Odyssey White Hot #2 Tour

[hartman29]

Callaway Big Bertha Diablo 27* hybrid. 2009 or 2010. Tried to replace it a few times. It just always performs.

[ohioglfr]

The oldest club I still hit is a driver I bought in 2003, a Tommy Armour 845 "Forged Persimmon".  Not my main squeeze but I play it now and again.  A nice 350cc bore-through, it replaced my 975J Titleist, it was that good.

Exotics CB2 15 & !8 degree fairway woods since June 2007.

I replaced those last year. Now it's the putter. It's been in the bag since July 2007.

[Toybota]

Callaway XR (2015) 19deg Hybrid

-I'm sure there are other hybrids that are longer and more forgiving but I seem to hit it well and it goes the right distance. 🤷‍♂️

 

Nike 006 Method Putter

-Again, why change if it's not broken.

[Kmagnuss]

I don't know if putters apply but I have used the same putter that my dad gave me as a kid, that he bought in the late 60's... Ping Anser.  I'll never take it out of the bag...and I suck with it.  🙂

I have MP 33 irons in my bag.  At least 21 years old.  I have a Titleist Bullseye putter I love that I got brand new in 1968 in the bag too.

[HoosierHacker89]

Holy cow we've got some putters that are 53 years old in this thread! I didn't imagine anything like that when i started this.

Funny I rotate MP33's into the bag every few rounds.  They feel identical to the new MP20's (MB) I have.

[iNeedMoreGolf]

Does 7 hrs count for a whole set up?

[JMB3]

I’m too much of a hoe.  Oldest club I currently own is a Mav Max 5w that will rotate in and out this next year.  While I tend to like “new and shiny,” there have definitely been a number of clubs I regret selling/trading.

[drumdude96]

PING G400 Max.  Been in the bag for about 4 years.  I did put a new shaft in it this year, which gave me quite a bit more distance, but that head ain't going anywhere!

[Bdck]

Mizuno 67s & a Scotty studio stainless np2

 

The 67s are Mizuno's most underrated blade IMHO

 

[dubbelbogey]

Oldest club isn't nearly as much of an indicator of anti-clubho as is would be the median age of the whole set, or even the age of your newest club.

 

The median release year for my whole set of clubs is 2005, with the oldest being from 1995 and newest being 2017 (G400 driver).

 

I don't think putters should count in this tally as it's pretty common for even the biggest club tech geeks to have an old favorite putter in the bag. Tons of old Ansers from the 80s and 90s still actively being played.

I still use an old Adams super hybrid that I believe came out in 2010 or so. I have tried to "upgrade" to something newer, but I just love this club. 210 to 220 yards essentially every time, from the tee or the turf. Can't beat it.

Forgot one more, my putter that I believe originally came out in 1959
