Clubs you wished you kept.

[Lefty11]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but is there a particular club you regret trading or selling? I regret parting with my 3 wood.  

[David5655]

I had an original ping anser. It was stolen along with all of my Wilson Staff Irons. Wish I still had that ping

That’s terrible!  I feel your pain.

 Titleist Howitzer

Great Big Bertha

Really just for the nostalgia.

[cwbart]

I believe they were 1988 Ben Hogan Apex Redline Irons. Best irons I've ever owned. I regret letting them go.

This one is easy - I did have clubs stolen once but I don't miss them really none would be in my bag today and none were really magic sticks - I was happy with what I got to replace them.

 

So what I miss and may have stayed in my bag until very recently is my Ping G400 driver - that thing was a beast for me.   I traded it in on a so-called upgrade in a moment of chasing a few yards that never appeared in real life.

Yes, I've had other clubs in the past that I played great golf with but none of them would be suitable replacements for what I carry currently.  

 

Nice thread

Also had a few clubs stolen out of my garage several years ago, including two hybrids that I actually would like to have now...

There have been a few sets of irons I've run through, too, but one I keep thinking about were Cobra King OS with nice Recoil shafts. Stupid stoopit me thought I'd outgrown them - Not!!

[hartrick11]

Redwood Anser!

Cleveland Launcher 5 wood, stock Stiff shaft. I think the first gen of the Launcher fairways. Never hit a FW as consistently. Almost automatic hitting 200/210 yard draws off the tee on tight holes or whenever I was driving poorly. It was in the bag for years until replaced by a first gen Callaway XHot, that also stayed in the bag for a long time.

Was that the launcher with the gold shaft?

Absolutely!

I had that in the 3 wood!  It was a solid club.

I had a Ping Heppler Piper Armlock Putter but I thought the armlock approach was a phase for me and turned it into the SC Newport I currently have. I've admittedly missed it since. It was aesthetically pleasing and weighted/balanced perfectly for my stroke. I suppose you can never have too many putters in hindsight.

[TeeOhDoubleDee]

I had a Titleist 980F 3 wood that I loved. The face caved in once and Titleist replaced it. The second time it caved in Titleist replaced it with a 904F and I didn't care much for it. 

[KC Golf]

My Dad as a gift got a First Flight Graphite shaft Persimmon head driver.  I used it in the mid 70s when I was in elementary school.  It was a great driver.  I think it was one of the first graphite shafts used in a driver.  My old room mate used it at his cottage and it was never seen again sadly.

[Wakit300]

I had a set of Yonex Super A.D.X. Tour Forged irons back in the 90s that I ended up selling and buying a new set of irons (can't even remember what now) and after a few rounds had Big Time regret.

[Adamman84]

I absolutely regret selling my TRS2+ Fairway wood, that thing was an absolute rocket ship and fun to hit (off a tee and the deck)

[Remo]

Years ago I had a double bend Titleist Red X putter in excellent condition that I wish I’d kept.  Most of why I sold it is I’m just not a fan of Scotty (Let’s copy all of Karsten Solheim’s putter designs) Cameron.  That being said, it was a really good putter. 

[Lefty11]

From your comments, it seems my takeaway is to keep those few extra clubs on hand just in case.

[MCMSR]

A few years ago I traded-in (2) Cleveland-CG15-DSG Oil Can wedges … Big mistake! Have never been as confident nor consistent since … My current Cleveland wedges (2-CBX Zipcore 50/54’ & 1-RTX FullFace 58’) don’t meet the expectations. 

[MarvChamp]

Mizuno MX200 forged irons. Right up there with my first Nike Vapor Fly driver...Had to overpay for a replacement after I realized my error. Best, -Marv

[Gravenor]

Taylormade R9 3-wood (15°) & 5-wood (19°), with the old Proforce V2 shafts. Best fairway woods I ever had.

I’m sure you could find them used somewhere. Good luck if you’re searching!

[Swood1994]

Probably my sim 2. I loved that driver

[Donn lost in San Diego]

No regrets.  My physical condition has IMPROVED the last few years, (surgeries, phys therapy, a lesson) so I am hitting my current clubs nicely.

[Brian A]

My Taylormade Rsi irons

[Shapotomous]

Most of my clubs have been ready for replacement when i moved on.  But I have had a couple stolen from my bag by swmbo that i would not mind having back.  Like the TM RBZ 3w and the Callaway Mavrik 4w.  But i didnt hold a grudge and moved on to a Titleist 915F 3w.  I adjusted my commentary whenever she is within earshot to say how much i hate it just so she doesn't want to try it.

I definitely want to get another set of them, thats for sure!

[Stahly_02]

I had a Titleist TISI driver. It was broken while in the trunk of my car during a fender bend. I regret not having it fixed. It was the first driver I ever spent a decent amount of money on.

[slash25rc]

SIM 2 3HL. Replaced it with an Ai Smoke 4w due to having adjustable hosel.. but still haven't found the groove with it like the ole TM.
