Which club now or in the past has been your favorite?

[TygrMike]

Golfsmith Tour Model IV irons. Still my favorite set of irons.

[SM Johnson]

Years back, played a PowerBilt 317 model  persimmon #3wood through high school & college, and even years after as a PGA of America club professional....when it finally disintegrated in early 90's, it has left me on a 30-something year search for that perfect #3 wood  / spoon....have had a lot of great 'old persimmon drivers' in my day,  and even have made the transition to "steel head" driver era w/o much angst....but I do think the spoon, or #3 wood / metal may be the hardest club to 'find' .......

I have a Tour Edge 7 wood I bought off the rack a couple of years ago sitting in my garage. Wonderful club that sits in my garage because it's distance is covered by my 5 hybrid and my 4 hybrid.  It is an unnecessary club.

[Thomas.r.kasper]

I’ve got an older set of AP2’s that I retired to my in-laws lake house when I got new clubs. Every summer I play 3-4 rounds with them, and I always look forward to the reunion. 

[T-Bone]

I keep a set of MP-33 irons at my mom's house in Charlotte and usually play them a few times a year.  Probably should sell them to someone that would be able to use them more often but have always loved that particular version of the MP's.

Ping G400 4H.  Picked it up used but didn’t like the shaft.  Took it to a club builder and he had me hit a few and asked me, “Do you trust me?”  He tells me he will order a shaft, install, and if I don’t like it he’ll put the old one back in.  I didn’t ask about what shaft and said OK.  A few weeks later I’m hitting it and thinking this is perfect.  The shaft, a $20 Swing Science!  Love that club.  

[alaaro]

My Callaway Deuce 2 wood - which I used as my driver. Miss it.

Or my Cobra LD F Speed Driver that sounded like a frying pan when I hit it. 

Might have to go on ebay today...

In my early 20's, when I got competitive and started playing in state qualifiers, I bought a set of Hogan Apex irons with graphite shafts. I still have them but haven't hit them in many years. The shafts would be too stiff for me now at 66. They are definitely my favorite irons from my collection.

[MarkA]

Taylor Made RBZ original 3W

Ping Scottsdale TR Shea Pitter  

[Muirfield]

Mid 70's Wilson Staff muscleback irons. You knew when you hit em good and when you hit em bad. Also miss the sound and feel of a good Persimmon driver.

[Rwboyce]

I have a TaylorMade Stealth 2 hybrid that I reshafted with a Ventus fairway wood shaft, keeping the extra length of the fairway shaft. Really goes long and straight.

[Rygolf32]

My Callaway Steelhead Plus 3 wood.

Still in the bag and one of my most reliable clubs...reshafted once, regripped many times over. At least once a month I get one or two people asking to hit it for old times sake. Seems like everyone had this or the driver.

Just a great club and still holds up - 240-250 straight as an arrow...pure joy.

Toski's VEC Tour is my all-time favorite iron design.  It has the neatest topline ever seen.

[Roomspimp]

Taylormade RBZ Tour Spoon: I still love this club! absolutely the best fairway wood I have ever owned. I have subsequently tried to find something better (Mizuno, Callaway & newer Taylormades) but nothing can match the RBZ for distance. It is not real forgiving but a good strike produces a shot like nothing else.

I'm going to go out of the singular "club" arena and go with a set of irons -- the OG Ping Eye 2 irons. I gamed these, or a version of them, throughout highschool (started in 1992), college, post-college, and then a set of BeCu Eye 2s from ~ 2015-2017. I finally gave them up when I realized that my set was essentially 25 years old.

I still have them though, and pull them out for fun from time-to-time. Fitted now with a KBS stiff steel shaft, and the 5i head no longer stays on the shaft, but the rest of the irons are as pure and fun to play with as they ever were.

Same here.  975D 7.5 with Ei-70 x.  loved that driver in college.  eventually cracked the face after 3 years.  

Still have mine! Try to hit it from time to time but my 9deg G425LST can deloft 1.5 deg to be the same if I wanted it to but the 975D tech doesn't hold up.

Other than my Ping Eye 2s, I really liked my Big Bertha Fusion irons (which I sold after getting my custom-fit JPX919s). Don’t ask about putters…

[Marty2Shanks]

Mizuno MX-25 irons.  I will never sell mine.  They are not my gamers since the shafts don't work for me right now, but I can't bring myself to re-shaft them as they are in original condition.  As a bonus, I got them for $60!!!!  The ones shown below are not mine, but shows what they look like.

[JB2334]

I have a lot of favorites over the years, Titleist DTR and DCI irons, and Taylor Made Burner Bubble Driver are probably at the top.

But my all-time favorite is still in the bag - Tommy Armour 845 2 iron. It's a hand-me-down from my Dad, so there is tons of sentimental value, but it's also my everything club - fairway finder, rescue club, etc. My sons have always been amazed by it, but neither of them have ever been able to hit it in the air, and they've learned that it hurts when you miss...lol.

It will always be in my bag, and the only anticipated change will be grip changes as needed, and eventually, the Tour Stiff shaft will probably be a little too much.

[Swood1994]

Ping Zing2 Putter. First "real" putter I got in high school golf as a hand-me down from my grandfather. Used it right up until I bought my scotty a couple years ago.

[Burningbush]

For me it’s the Nike vapor flex 440 driver. At the time it was longer for my by miles compared to drivers even 5 years newer. I hit long, lower trajectory bombs seemingly every time with it. The sound and feel of it was absolutely awful. It sounded like you hit a ball with a pvc pipe and felt the same way, but the results were great. 

[Greathills]

I have been playing Ping i20 since they were released and I really like them. But I deeply regret trading my Mizuno MX 300’s…those were so good!

[dabvt13]

Was just talking to a buddy the other day about how great the TaylorMade R7 was. Loved that thing and sad I ever got rid of it, could hit bombs! 
 

I still game a Nike Vapor Fly, I’ll play it until I crack the face. I can’t find a new driver that I like as much.

The Ping Craz-E also honorable mention. Saved up my money from mowing yards in high school to buy one. Not a great putter, but it was fun.

[Mike grosdidier]

Ping I 5 irons.  The best of both world's.

[mike strause]

putter titilest bulleye tommy armour silver scott cleveland ta-5 comes to mind.

[Ahart4444]

Won the original TM Pittsburgh Persimmon in a golf tournament and was instantly in love.  Immediately added distance and was the end of the wooden driver for me forever.  Loved that club.

[John Hoie]

Three entries:

1. Mizuno MP33 irons. I still kick myself for selling them instead of just reshafting.

2. A set of 1957 Spalding Top-Flite persimmon woods. Modern woods are clearly better, but can’t reproduce the feel. My brother still has those in his basement.

3. A 1953 MacGregor Tommy Armour Iron Master putter. It belonged to my dad, so I’ll never part with it. Designed for an era when greens were shaggier, it has 11 degrees of loft.

[labsrule]

@ sets of irons. First set, Tommy Armour 845s and a set of Cobra FPs.

[MrHogan]

All time favourite. TM R510 TP driver with real deal Fuji 757. Great memories of long flighted drives with amazing feel and sound. 
Still part of the inventory, unfortunately can no longer handle the 757.

I went through a lot of club sets while still learning the game. Then when I was making progress, and my handicap was dropping, I was practicing all the time and playing a lot of rounds. I thought it was time to get better clubs. I was very lucky; I found a set of Mizuno MX-23's. They were priced very low and on sale for Labor Day. The reason they were priced so low was someone had ordered them; they came into the store pick them up, hit the clubs in the store and changed their mind. I picked up that Mizuno set for just under $500 3-PW. I played those clubs for quite a few years; I promised myself that when I reached a single digit index, I would think about replacing them. I did reach my goal and upgraded to a set of Mizuno MP-52's. Playing those new clubs I reached my career lowest index of 6.2. Now some 25 plus years later I'm playing Mizuno Hot Metal JPX-919's, but I do occasionally think about those MX-23's.
