Favorite clubs


revkev

Recommended Posts

Many of us have been playing golf for a little no time. I thought that I would try a little thread about our favorites. Go down the line of OEMs that you have bagged and give us your favorite. No fair picking two - it must be your favorite piece of equipment (irons or wedges count as 1) from each OEM.

 

I'll go first to set the example:

 

Adams - Idea Pro Hybrid •

 

Callaway - Hot x extreme fairway wood

 

Cleveland - Voodoo Daddy Putter•

 

Cobra - EZ fairway wood•

 

Mizuno - 700 driver •

 

Nicklaus - Iron max irons •

 

Nike - Nike One Tour D golf ball •

 

PGA- Tommy Armor Persimmon driver (oh boy)

 

Ping - Eye Two Irons

 

Ram - Tour grind irons

 

SCOR - 60 degree wedge

 

Taylor Made - Tour Spoon

 

Titleist - 907D driver

 

Wilson - C200 Irons (this was hard - I had a bullseye putter)

 

• Clubs that I gamed when I was a 1 handicap. I used Ping wedges including my old Eye 2 as my gap wedge. Those clubs weren't necessarily my favorite all time in each category but they fit. I hated the Mizuno driver in fact. It looked like a pancake and sounded like crap but it performed so it stayed in the bag until I needed to move to a weaker shaft.

 

I don't know if this will strike anyone's fancy but it was a fun exercise for me.

There's been a lot of discussions about hybrids - eg. Love/Hate, or Replace a Wood with a Hybrid, etc.

 

I started playing later in life, in my middle age I guess (53), so I didn't really get to learn early to hit long irons .. and my first several seasons I struggled with woods .. so I kinda had to go to hybrids.

 

Over the course of several seasons I demo'ed or bought - then traded, sold or gave away - a BUNCH of different hybrids. Different manufacturers, different models, different styles, etc.

 

Well, currently in the bag being carried over from last year - and what has become a true utility club for me - is a Callaway XR 4H.

 

Heck, I even got a second one as a backup!

Think that's all. There were various models of Wilson blades, a few other woods I can't remember. But the barn at the golf course I worked at had piles of old equipment, and we'd get the pick of the litter. Too bad I didn't know what I was using at the time.
