What's the oldest club in your bag?


Recommended Posts

I currently game two of these. Have tried many newer models from every brand imaginable. Still can't beat them. I have no idea why.

I don't blame my equipment but I'm pretty sure it conspires against me at times.

My TS3 hybrid.  It’s a workhorse and for most of my rounds a gamer.  Falling a little out of love with it lately.

I had to do a quick inventory and check past orders to be sure.   The oldest club in my bag is a Calloway Epic Heavenwood that I purchased used in 2019.  It's also one of my most trusted club.  

I'm not one to change clubs very often.  I've had some bad luck cracking a couple of Ping drivers and Calloway fairway woods requiring them to be replaced.  My next oldest clubs would be my three Edison wedges that are about 3.5 years old.

I have been using this snake eyes quick strike 18* hybrid for over 20 years.  It has changed its yardage slot a few times, started way back as a 215 club and is currently the 195 club.  I have tried a few other hybrids but they always have a left miss built into them that this one doesn't.  Do ya think its time to let it retire?!?!

After getting involved on the forum my equipment has changed and been upgraded quite a bit to the point where my irons are now the oldest clubs in my bag. Mizuno MP-18 MMC’s. Is it time for an upgrade?? These irons are my favorite set I’ve had and it’ll be hard to kick them out of my bag.

Similar to @Swood1994 above, my Mizuno MP-54 irons are definitely the oldest clubs in my bag at the moment. Will likely try to upgrade in the next year or two, although they are still in great condition and I love playing with them.

I've got (2) ~ 10 yr old clubs in my bag. My favorite club in the bag is a driving 2 iron and distance is clearly not an issue so no rush to replace it. Not many companies make a thick, confidence inspiring 2 iron anyway. I also have an older Adams 2 hybrid. Sat unused in my garage for years but just starting playing it this year so it's like new, but just old tech I guess. I am willing to replace that with a new model.

Oh for me the oldest clubs in my bag are my 3rd set or Macgregor VIPS they are 1980 vintage but I got them new from a friend like some 12 years ago now. The Ping Zing2 I have owned some 35 years now and got it new. It has been in the closet the last 10 years or so but recently I pulled it back out and started using it again. The Old V-Steel 7 wood I have had some 21 years now had since new. I guess the newest clubs in my bag are the Callaway Bertha Alpha 2014 vintage. The Vokey wedge is also 2014 vintage but I got it new still in the plastic 2 yeas ago. I am not sure on the Cally Mac Daddy2 as to vintage it was one of my scrap pile finds some 6 years ago now.

I have lots of clubs in my stash from my teenage years including a Anser putter and a Macgregor Ironmaster. I got the Mac when I was like 14 and in a few weeks I will be 67 so do the math. The Anser was a demo at the shop my old man ran and I got it about 1972 or so
