Maxfli Revolution Black Dot. Been in the bag a long time. Very simple cavity back, with great soft feel.

same here...I'm guessing 10 years or so. Still going strong but they are really starting to show there age.

A Titleist 980F 3-wood has recently made its way back into my bag. It is just a nice workable club.

Ditto about TM screwing up Maxfli. I'm still gaming the last iteration of the Australian Blades - best irons I've ever used. Got a 905R in the bag too - only swap that out for the 905S when I'm really flushing it

[Tony1989]

Still going strong with a set of MP-32s. Had them in the bag around 6 years now and I won't be replacing them any time soon!

[hoganfan924]

Callaway X-tour irons, Cleveland launcher Ti 3W, 3DXDC hybrids, Pelz wedges and a Carbite ZG mallet putter

[ILBrad`]

I have updated my driver 910 D3, fairway RBZ, & Nike vr limited edition, hybrid, 2.0. I still game my favorite set of irons TaylorMade r5's. I just put on new gp multi compound grips. Ready for another season. They have a classic look, not big bulky, but are forgiving.

Just reworked the whole bag before that I was gaming Gunmetal TA3s, guess i been playing them since 2001. They are sitting on the work bench shafts pulled and thinking about putting my TC tour concepts in them or thinking about getting a set of C taper in them and going back to them i like my Mizzys but those irons are the standard for me.Driver changes about every two years. Vokey wedges just been switched to TVDs, before that it was 900 series Clevelands and would still be playing them but the grooves are gone . This year i also switched to a scotty putter before that it was an old Callaway TT2 Blue. befor the winter season is over i probably be back in my Clevelands. Oh and still playing Adams Pro Golds, just with new shafts, cant let them go best hybirds ever.

No offense intended to anyone here, but I find it hilarious that someone thinks a club from six years ago is "old."

I really really love my 1963 Hogan IPT irons. I highly recommend them and the other blade on blade ones like the "PC" of similar age. The chrome on them is still flawless. The only down side is the knife like leading edge can slip balls when it is cold out (might do damage when warm but not spit cover) The heads are about 1/4" shorter than a Mizuno MP-30 but I still hit them very well.

So if someone out there gets a good deal on "old" pre cavity back clubs do not feel that they are inferior and unplayable. Keep in mind the best players in golf history used them.

I also am preferring a 60's Louisville Grand Slam putter.
And believe it or not vintage real woods are still in my bag quite often with my Callaway metal woods in the basement.

[savoyspecial13]

Mizuno MP30's. Just ordered some mp 68's tho.

[Wordmixer]

Titleist 975LF-E driver with a Purple Ice shaft. Most solid feeling driver I've hit, and the thing just looks so square at address.

Maxfli "T-Bone" putter too!

[Thequad]

Yonex, original Tour Forged, not ADX, 5-10, PW, SW and 60 degree PM lob wedge, with TT DG Lite shafts with Sensicore inserts. The only club with positive bounce is the SW. I have to really focus on sweeping the ball and not getting it too deep. These clubs are cavity backs but not nearly as forgiving as more modern designs. They definitely let you know how you have mishit a shot.

[NSCohen17]

mp-32 (or apex'99) irons, a plethora of old putters.

[Santiago Golf]

Callaway X Fairway 5 wood, still very popular on tour

[pup142]

1995 Lynx Blackcat Steel Irons.Simply the best iron i have played and i tried just about everything.

[plugchu]

Ping Eye 2+'s 4-9 circa 1993

Hello all

With all of the money poured into advertising and product marketing these days, I am curious to know if there are any players out there who rely on "older" equipment to get the job done? For me, I'm having fun playing my vintage but refinished MP-14 irons. I'm about one club shorter with them but I hit them well, so why not??? LOL.
[/quote]

14's are probly my favorite iron ever produced i would love to game these things again! it been at least ten years since my last time i did!

[suwdawg]

Can't remember the year but kept my mx23s they are still a favorite. They are a little shorter than my current jacked up set but still like to play them occassionally for that great feel. I believe they are still mizuno's best selling iron ever.

[DevilDog]

Was playing my Titleist 681s until I got Mizzie MP-69s this year. I played the 681s Sunday while my 69s were being regripped in the pro shop. Like an old friend they were. Need to have them rechromed.

[XYB34A]

Ben Hogan Apex Redline 1988 square groove model 2 thru E wedge and I do have a 1 iron too My second putter beyond Scotty Cameron Napa Valley is 1985 Ben Crenshaw by Walter Hagen true blade putter

[jperkins66]

I was actually planning on regripping my old set of Titleist 731PM's this week and taking them out for a few rounds. Sweet setup with the TT Black Golds.

[boggyman]

Just got a set of '02 Big Berthas in 5- sw and gonna prowl for a 2,3,4 to finish them out!!

[Tough]

Titleist 704cb. Third set since high school, though... if it aint broken don't fix it (just buy a newer less beat up set!)
