Some guy named Nicklaus used the same 3 wood for 40 years. He won a few times.
Spinny Clendon just a few, not 18 majors or anything like that
He used Persimmon driver up to 50 years of age (1990 is ) different models but interesting to know ....Interesting that Jack was one of the guys that liked wood dowls in the shafts of irons - Tiger does the same
You mentioned it in the video. Emotional attachment. We mortals hit a lot of bad shots and seek to replace the guilty club with a new one. These top Pros hit a lot of great shots and get emotionally attached. 😍
I have a Ping Anser 3 putter that has been in my bag for the last 32 years!
I just upgraded from a Ping G10 driver after 10 years with it. Just felt it was time. But I did love that club.
Original RBZ 13 degree 3 wood, that thing is absolute money
I still play my original Callaway big bertha 3 wood circa 1997 or 1998. Had to have it reshafted about 10 yrs ago after pinching it in the car trunk hinge. I also still play a snake eyes 5 wood from 1997 or 1998 that I put together myself when I went through my club building phase. And a Rossa maranello sport 2 putter from 2005. Loved the look of it the second I stood over it at address.
This week I’ve got rid of my M5 driver and 3 wood and (in theory downgraded) back to M1s. Better sound and feel but with identical numbers. It’s nice having the latest shinny thing but why do we do it. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ good vid mate. 👍👍
I still have the 5 wood from my first set of clubs that I got from Sports Authority 18 years ago. Came in a full set of cheap no name clubs, but it’s a steel shaft and pretty heavy and I just hit it great.
I still game 2009 Callaway X Forged irons. Love them!
Lump of metal at the end of a stick. Lol absolutely bang on. You can't buy the game, use the money for lessons.
Nike Sasquatch 3 wood...it absolutely peels the cover off the ball...if my Driver let's me down...I know this 3 wood will get me back in the game!
Jim... I still have my Sasquatch driver. Just replaced it as I got tired of the frying pan noise comments...lol.
@@nadyerfdog22 ...I had the river it was good...ahh... but the 3 Wood - it doesn't make that noise and if it did, They can say what hey wan if I'm n o near th green..I could careless! The remainder o my bag is PXG
Mizuno mp-30s baby. 3-pw The only thing thats gonna push those out is when I eventually save up enough for some Miura blades.
I’m still using 3-pw in the Mizuno MP-67 musclebacks. Just put brand new Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts in them.
Callaway x2 hot driver and 3 wood, wilson staff fluid feel 2-pw circa 1987-88, cleveland 56 and 60. Best feeling irons ive ever swung, sold my callaway apex after buying these off ebay for $75.
Still using my Ping G2 I bought in high school.
Muzino pro 2 set of irons to 3 iron fitted about 18 years ago changed grips twice about 2 clubs shorter than recent stronger lofted clubs but totally reliable and workable. I know when I am hitting these muscle back semi blades well and can draw or fade at will so why change only regripped twice .Best round 3 under with these. Have tried cavity backs which go mostly left due to offset. Now retired dont see the point in new clubs and having to get extra 2 wedges to fill the gaps from a 9 iron which is really a traditional loft of a 7 iron due to player and manufacturer ego/ marketing the alleged longest iron. I have just added two hybrids and retired the 3 and 4 irons to keep up with the long hitters if I need to. Enjoy your channel keep swinging.
My 55* Mizuno sand wedge. Somewhat tough to find that loft these days. Nearly can close my eyes and hit it.
Right, I had my 54° Vokey bent to 55° not sure if it makes a huge difference, mental game.
I'm still gaming my 2011 T.M R11 driver, tipped 1", 65g shaft S flex shaft. 2011 Mizuno mp53s 4-P, Mizuno mp h5 1 iron, Taylormade rac wedges (LOVE the soft feel) and an Odyssey white hot centre shafted putter. They all work as good as the day I bought them. Keep covers on everything, irons included. Really confident with all of them. Even the 1 iron, only took 3 buckets of range balls... 😥
Take a look at Stenson's clubs, he uses Irons from 2009
Ping eye 2 driver and 3 wood. They are consistent when I need to be dead on.
I keep on going back to my trusty White Hot Rossie putter. It’s about 14 years old now.
I forgot my ping anser 2 one time and bought a rossie, now I keep switching back and fourth LOL the ping is 10 years older than me!
Hi Simon, callaway steelhead iii 7 wood. Had it 15 years. Great for tee shots on short par 4s, long par 3s, 2nd shot on par 5s. Great from the rough and easy to shape. Love it
Titleist 704 cb Irons, White hot odessey putter*,Gallaway xr driver, taylormade z-spin wedge and McGregor Jacknicolaus Three wood(1986)
I still use my 2006 Tour Edge Exotics Driver 10.5* with Aldilla NV 65g Stiff,2008 Tour Edge Exotics CB2(3&5w) with Aldilla NV 65g,irons 2008 Tour Edge EX1 3-PW with Project X 6.0 shafts, Wedges Tour Edge Bazooka,Spin Milled (52,56,60*) with Rifle 6.5 Shafts...now I’ve had sets from Taylor Made R7 TP,R9 TP,Callaway X20 Pro,XForged,Mizuno MP5,MP33 and presently JPX 919 Pro,Titleist AP2(2008).
All the above sets are/were good but NOTHING will ever compare to my TOUR EDGE,I recently fixed the driver and put in an Aldilla NV 65g shaft,man I hit that thing as long as my Taylor Made M4 and the latest M6.
And when all my drivers are misbehaving,I go to my trusted friend,my Tour Edge Exotics CB2 3w(Combo Brazed Titanium Face Insert) I hit that thing prodigiously long,in fact longer than my drivers combined,nothing beats the feel and sound of that 3w when that TITLEIST PROV1x comes off the screws...I love my Tour Edge set and will never part ways with it,as long as I breathe and can play this game.✌🏿🇿🇦
The only thing that’s not Tour Edge in my bag is the actual bag itself and my putter(use the old Odyssey 2ball with center shaft cut down to 33”) the best combo ever.
Kevin Na was playing with Titleist last year. He has actually changed manufacturer but chosen older clubs. That says it all really.
Taylormade RBZ Rocketballs 19 degree rescue ... it a fairway rocket launcher ... love it
50 y/o Titleist AC-108 iron set. Just such an amazing irreplaceable set
I have a set of old mizuno mx-200 irons.... they are so perfect feeling I keep going back to them. Great video!
Hey Mitch, me too. I have two sets, one at home and one down south. Love them.
Adams titanium redline 3,5,7 fairway. 18 years. Still performs great.
Callaway Steelhead original 3W, Hawkeye GBB 5 & 7w, Ben Hogan Apex forged irons, Wilson Staff fg-17 SW, Nike Engage LW, PIng Karsten 5BZ BeNi putter all produced before the year 2000, serves me well. Only buy gloves and balls new these days
Using 1988 Hillerich&Bradsbury TPS Irons, 2004 (UCT persimmon) fairway woods and a putter I picked up 13 years ago.
I think we have very different definitions of old. HCP -14 as a holiday golfer for 2 weeks a year.
I grew up learning with these clubs, so I like to think I know them.
Pretty sure the traditional lofts and shaft lengths help me keeping it straight. Some of the irons might even be slightly convex at the head so even if I off hit, the clubs correct for it too.
I dont think I will ever change my irons. Putter and FW maybe eventually. But Irons? never
Lol my titleist 913 24 degree hybrid. I call it the Poulter as it always delivers. I can hit it high, low, left to right and right to left. I know its reaction out of any lie, i am just very familiar with it.
2009 taylormade burner 3wood. Best club in my bag.
My irons Mizuno tzoid pro 1 originals about 20yrs old. I still have good distance with them example 5iron 210-215 so don't need more distance and I hit them pretty straight they've been fitted for me ain't broke so no need to fix. Great video btw Simon
I still use a Ping G15 3 and 4 iron. With some Mint Mizuno MP 32s 5 thru PW. 210 to 225 with those old things.
Not super old but got a callaway xr hybrid with a ton of lead tape to weigh it down. Use it when I want to swing easy as it’s reg flex and my other clubs are all stiff
Ping replica ., got a complete set in 1995 from a friend (and it was old already). still use the sand wedge as my most solid weapon.
Yesterday +2 on a par-3 course with only a putter and my (at least) 30-year old iron lady.
Love the lead tape also. It does wonders if you use it correctly. I always hit my irons a little off the middle to toe side. Nothing drastic but I put lead tape more toward the heel and now I strike it right in the middle of the face. 5.00 dollar roll of tape or 700.00 dollars for new irons.
Ping Zing 2 irons and a Ping Cushin putter with a Super Stroke grip. Proper old Ping iron lofts so they don't fly as far as todays irons that have been cranked. More interested in stopping the ball than how far I hit it. Callaway woods but still have a full set of Ping Eye 2 woods.
I have a taylormade burner rescue 3hybrid that i use, I was really just looking for something to kinda Replace my 3 wood cause I just don't like hitting my 3wood and I'm inconsistent with it, but even if it doesn't go as far, I hit my rescue straight and 230 yards consistently
I paused this at the 1:00 mark to say this, the two oldest clubs in my bag is my 3w its a blue cobra F7 and my 3i that the 2015 TM RSI UDI 20°. I have not changed those two clubs because I have not found anything that gives me the feel and confidence that I get with them. I do not change clubs that often any ways. I am using the 4-GW Wilson V6 irons, A GAPR LO 17°, and the M6 driver. I only change out if something new gives me more distance and forgiveness. If it offers more distance but less forgiveness, I wont change just for distance.
I’ve got PING G25 hybrid which I had over 6 years now. I like it so much I also bought a spare just in case. They are the best!
My talyormade burner 5 wood is the best club Ive ever had, been in my bag for 10 years
Warbird 9 and 11 wood. Been in bag 20 plus woods. I know when I grab them I will hit given distance and direction high very high percentage of time.
If a tour pro played every new piece of eq they were handed... they'd be in a constant state of "demo". Some clubs in the bag are extremely hard to replace. Take the 3 wood for example. Been documented through out history as possibly the toughest club to replace. Next imho would be a 2 or driving iron. Some have just stupid amounts of offset, and back bulge...so finding one that checks all boxes for a player can be quite a challenge. Seeing mixed bags on tour now is quite refreshing.
Titleist DCI 762's, Taylormade R7 Driver, Cleveland 60, Odyssey White Hot Putter from the 90's.
White hot came out year 2000...
@@oscareliasson3299 I stand corrected, it's a White Hot #2 Center Shaft introduced in 2006.
54 and 60 degree wedges Cleveland RTG from the early 2000s in my bag. So 20 years or so.
AreoBurner TP 12' mini driver straight down the middle average 240-250 -270 metres, confidence straight away ,Areoburner TP 3 wood 15,' Areoburner 5 wood 18', Callaway x hot pro irons ,New Evnroll 1.2 putter ,last years results November ,December 68 68 71 ,those woods i mentioned above are solid love the know adjustment just go up & hit fade or draw .
Got the original ping pal on my bag, new grip on it ofcourse... But for a putter from 1974 i beleive.. It putts better than anything made since then
I have 2003 Callaway Steelheads, 2 degree upright, graphite shafts, oversize grips, +1 inch long, custom lofts for distance AND my Ping I3 lob wedge will always stay. Just saying...the old TaylorMade extra stiff shaft Burner 8.5 driver was replaced after 20 years of service, but still is in the corner of my office just in case.
Not currently in the bag but it is a club which comes back in from time to time: 25 degree Adams rescue/hybrid. 20 years old, and any time I struggle with the 5i, the Adams comes back
I won a Diawa 22 degree hybrid at a fishing expo in 2004. It is still my go to club for under trees, tough lies, and thing from 170 to 190mtrs.
la jolla Knife 7 wood...... i love it, 190 consistently straight every time, never leaving my bag!
Too right have la jolly 3 wood and 5 and 7 gets out of almost any lie dead straight.
I’m using the same Mizuno muscleback irons for the last 15 years. The condition of them are still amazing and the lofts are still true. Not a huge fan of the jacked lofts.
Using a 7-year-old Nike Vapor driver! Replaced a Taylormade Sim. 🤷♂
Love the Nike! ✔
I Still have a Lynx MTW 3 Iron. It still gives me confidence off the tee and works great for my second shot off a Par 5
My golf bag. It’s an old Wilson bag that has looked the same for the past decade. I assume it’s the first stand bag to have ever existed. I have broken a dozen golf bags while the Wilson fossil survived. I was looking for (another) new golf bag in my mid twenties before I realized our garage bag was meant to be my carry bag.
It has no dividers anymore. The mechanics in the legs are indestructible and stable, as are the shoulder straps. The sagging fabric only shows how strong the metal frame is. All the pockets are still in great shape, despite having possibly seen the Reagan administration.
i have a old square 2 7 wood rough devil series that i found at a garage sale, i love it,my go to club for many things
My father was using ping zing 2 irons until this year. I still use a Taylor made burner 3 wood.
Yesterday I played 18 holes using shiny new Callaway Rogue irons (fitted) from 5 to AW, a Mack Daddy 54SW and an old, beat-up 58SW. I didn't count a score. It was my first time on a course for 25 years. I made one par, one bogey, and the rest were terrible. I probably hit 150. I didn't take my old woods. My go-to club was my 6-iron, which I hit pretty well and used as often as possible. My chipping and putting were terrible! I need to get fitted for a hybrid or two. An interesting experiment would be to play a round using only the 6-iron, 58SW and putter.
2009 Cobra tws hybrid, 26 degrees, re-shafted with aldila phenom (0.335" tip). Lower lofted ones don't work for me (they had a different face) but love this one. High launch, soft landing yet still goes into wind. A cheat stick that works from horrible lies and the fairway. Feels as easy to play as a wedge.
Sadly I wrapped that phenom shaft around a tree and broke it (playing a shot, not in anger).
I've re-shafted the 26° cobra tws baffler with a Veylix Rome, ion finish, and it's even better now. Love it!
Callaway great big bertha 3 wood tried newer and even bought a 16.5 ts2 but ended up lofting that to a 5 wood as can't beat it.Also my mp54's.Newer irons out there but just love the look and feel of them
I've got a cobra baffler 4 hybrid, had it about 10 years, its class! From the rough, off a fairway or tee, just love it, 230-240 yds!
Me too thy are unbeievable
Same here. Love it. Mines a 3 baffler.
I like the Stroke labs putters too. From the graphite Shaft, to the grip, the the colouring on the head. Now if they did a version of the Rossie, I would be very very very tempted.
My Stan Thompson 5 made of persimmon, I hit it farther and straighter than my driver.
Ive tried the new golf equipment, it actually feels weird to me and was unusable for me. I like my older clubs much better. The 2000s was a great time for golf equipment.
My burner 2009 driver I love so much!
TBTP possibly my favorite driver of all time... had a Rombax 7X07 in mine... thing was a beast back in '08-09.
Callaway X 18 2 iron. It is my go to for 220-240 yards
Those things are legit. I work at Golf Galaxy in Clearwater FL and I had the chance to hit that when it came in used. Beast!
The oldest club I have is a cobra fly z 3 wood and the reason I haven’t replaced is because I hate 3 woods so I don’t feel like changing into another 3 wood because it’s got a hot face and a new 3 wood isn’t going to make me any more proficient with a 3 wood.
Thanks for watching guys! Whats your go to Golf club thats never leaving the bag!?
My Callaway Apex UT 4 iron. That is my favourite club in the bag, it’s a fairway finder!!
My original Callaway s2h2 5 wood. Old but reliable and accurate.
TaylorMade V Steel 3 wood with a steel shaft.
My Cleveland hibore 3 hybrid .... Used new ones garbage compared to that I bought for £15 on Facebook marketplace wouldn't swap it for anything. Fujikura shaft fab.
I have a regripped $3 garage sale putter I’ve been using for over 10 years. It’s all chipped up and ugly, but the shape and weight is perfect and have absolutely no reason to replace it aside from aesthetics
Ive had my scotty cameron newport studio since 04 i love it, had it regripped twice!
t396ccu can’t beat an old Scotty!
It’s like hanging out with an old friend. Familiar and dependable. You know what to expect
Iv still got a Talyormade aeroburner driver and 3 wood in my bag
Forgot to mention brooks still uses a SM4 vokey LW!!!... other are SM7s
My R9 3 wood. So reliable and my go to off the tee when it’s tight or the driver isn’t working. Can’t see myself ever swapping it
My 60 degree Titleist Vokey from 2009. Even though the grip is not even correct for me as I bought it online over 10 years ago, its pure sentiment. I know what shots I can hit with it and what it has done for me in the past. I even purchased second-hand 52 and 56 degrees from the same line, YEARS later. Lovely wedges...
PS. that would be the Titleist Vokey SM3's
Scotty Newport 2.5 not sure the year model... I acquired it in 2005. I’ll make my last putt with it.
Still game a Titleist 915 D3 driver. Tried to replace it, but I hit more fairways with it than anything else I've tried. I can live without the 3 extra yards, I heard a rumor there's a teaching pro who still games an old Ping 1 iron.
Hogan Apex II'S white cameo from 79 in my bag. They all do a similar job.
As of ten or so years ago CraigStadler was still playing his irons from the 80's. The freakin 80's.... I love my R11 and 2nd gen AP2's, for the record.
Cobra cxi pitching wedge. It’s good for 100yds dialed in.
I bought a set of mcgregor irons, think they are 10-15 years old and I will do all I can to keep them going
Calloway Great Big Berther, 4+ off the tee goes well for me! 🙂
I play Ping Zing 2 irons. I can buy any new irons, but love the weaker lofts which allow me to hit the ball higher. The wedges in this set are second to none.
Me tooooo!!! I love my ping zing 2s black eye. Oversized grips and those huge club faces i hit the ball a mile but still have good control on precise shots. Best irons ever made! For me anyway
My Taylormade Burner Driver
My oldest clubs in the bag is the muzuno presage irons
My oldest club is a Leo Diegel "chromium special" number 88 sand wedge. The only reason that I have it is because it belonged to my Grandfather. I'm not sure how old it was, but I do know that Leo Diegel played in the 1920s and 30s. I think it was made by Wilson. Anyway...I think that athletes are a superstitious lot. We've got (American) football players who won't shave when they're on a winning streak, Baseball players who won't wash their hat for a whole season (which makes for a pretty disgusting looking hat) - stuff like that. I have to imagine that when players keep old clubs in their bags that superstition may play into it.
I watched an interview with Sir Nick Faldo (on RUclips) who said that at one point during his heyday, that he had 14 different clubs in his bag from different brands, sets, and years. In those days, when you found a club that worked, it would take a lot to get it out of your bag. That was in the days before adjustable clubs and fitting sessions at your local golf shop. These days, I can see getting new clubs more frequently because of the advantage that comes from the new technology being put into them. I bought a new set this year - of course, I hadn't bought new clubs since the 1980s so I think I have an excuse. All of that said, a good swing with old clubs is far superior to a crummy swing with new clubs.
I used to work at colonial where Palmer is a member and Before the clubs in his bag now he used to play a Burner 2.0 TP, original ap2 irons, an old odyssey Rossie 2 and a Fourteen brand utility iron that id never seen before. I think Fourteen brand wedges as well if I remember right. I guess if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
I wouldn't call the clubs discussed as 'old'. The best example just happened. Steve Stricker winning the US Senior Open with Titleist 755 irons and 913D2 driver. In my bag, I'm using the R9 Supertri driver and Titleist 690.CB irons.
I believe titleist still supply bernard langer with the early version of the pro v1, just for him
Adams idea 2003 5 iron bent down to 22 degrees. Basically a driving iron.
Checkout Jamie Donaldsons bag! Great old clubs in it! One he said his dog chewed on😜!
i still use a Ping Eye 2 1 & 2 iron.....
kwikbug proper old school 🙌
only way m8!!!!
rocketbladez 4-pw, cobra flyz driver,adams tight lies 2 16 degree 19 degree hybrid with the blue velocity slot
Taylormade V Steel 3 T/S and 5 wood
Titleist 909h Hybrid 21 degree. Never leaving my bag lol. It just wants to go straight. Edit : With the Aldila voodoo shaft stiff. Tried one that a friend of mine had with the diamana shaft and it just sprayed around like crazy.
Kevin Na has a Epic flash Driver in the bag
My friend has those nike irons. They play about 1 club strong and go so far. There's a video of McIlroy saying he gets ball speeds similar to a driver off the 2iron in that model.
Great big Bertha 1 iron , so easy to hit , stinger flight
So if you hit it out of the toe put the weight in the toe section?
Nike Dymo 2. I love the shock on people's faces when they hear how obnoxious loud my driver is.
