Clubs that defy time, and still live in your bag...

[Sluggo42]

I’ve got a Callaway big Bertha Hybrid 815, that cannot be beat by anything. It’s long and straight, and almost 5 years old.

you got any old clubs that still “bring it”?

My Rogue SZ 3 and 5 woods are going to be in the bag for a longggg time. I hit the new Flash stuff and nothing beats these. Heck I almost aced a 265 yard par 4 today with the 5 wood then turned around two holes later and hit it from 220 into the wind out of a fairway bunker to a foot. Pry that one from my cold dead hands right now.

I put my i5 irons back in the bag last week. It’s been a slight adjustment with ball position in the longer irons with more offset than my Hogan’s.

I can’t tell you how comforting it is to swing a trusted old club knowing there is a ton of thought taken out of the swing.

I’m so glad I’ve held onto these beauties.

I've got a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Pro Platinum that I bought brand new 20+ years ago. Still rolls like a dream.

Those are two spectacular shots there - if you get rid of that club someone should punch you square in the face

My JetSpeed 2 Hybrid.

Example: Yesterday I was 242 out, I missed the green a yard right, but pin high. A few holes earlier I hit it to the moon over some giant trees around 257 carry.

It’s a magic wand. Cheap stock shaft, cheap stock grip. Love it. Getting pretty beat up, but it’s staying until it breaks.

My Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead 4+, havent found or seen a 3W that beats it. Sound and flight are beautiful (when struck well of course) and it's pretty long. I've had it 15 years and it was second hand when I got it. Still looks in pristine condition.

I put my Titleist DCI 981s in the bag from time to time and find they still play really well.  They dont have the strongest lofts in the world but you just have to club up a bit.

One thing that I really like about them is that with the weaker lofts, its easier to get the ball to check up and stop on approach shots.  I feel like with a lot of modern irons with jacked up lofts, its difficult to get the ball to stop unless you use a tour ball that spins a lot.  As someone who plays cheaper and mid-level golf balls (DT Trusoft or Tour Soft for me usually), I need to use height in order to get the ball to stop because the balls that I use dont spin so much.

Up until about two months ago, an entire set of PingEye 2's .  My B61 putter still feels good to me and I have no plans to go down the new putter rabbit-hole.  I did experience a brief putting funk period last winter, and that had me thinking of doing so, but I'm now certain it was all between my ears.

My first two summers playing I gamed an old Teardrop TD47 putter. I upgraded to the Impact 3 this year because I needed to get more control of my putting stroke, which has worked, but I still love the Teardrop as it is the putter I broke into the game with.

Anyone have an idea when it came out? I'm assuming somewhere in the 90's.

I used to post in the "Club Ho's" thread a lot (too much) but this season made a commitment to improving my swing and all aspects of my game - ie. not blaming it on the clubs! .. and not buying any new ones...

..excepting a set of wedges and an ER5 that I picked up pre-season over the winter, the rest of the bag (woods, hybrids, irons) is 2015-16 vintage .. and safe for the foreseeable future...

..but I can't swear that this same willpower will last forever (or even into next season!!)......

Now that you mentioned it, my XR 4W may hang around awhile - been getting more and more comfortable with it.
