Forum Thread of the Day: “Oldest club that you game?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from uwhockey14, who asks fellow GolfWRX members for the oldest club that they still use out on the course. Despite the latest technologies continually leading to new and improved equipment, this thread shows that for many of our members, there will always be a place in the bag for that certain trusty older club.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- leo the lion: “Odyssey Dual Force 56 degree wedge which is about 20 years old. These wedges have what I believe are called Stronomic inserts in the face. The inserts are made of a very hard material and still look new. I have not found a wedge that gives more spin and control than these wedges. Ping Eye and ISI’s come close but the Dual Forces can almost stop on a dime. I also have a 52 degree that I will use together with the 56 on shorter courses.”
- NRJyzr: “Playing Golden Ram Tour Grinds right now, they’re approximately 38 years old.”
- Moonlightgrm: “My Ping ISI irons are 18-years old. Nothing can move them out of my bag. Easy to hit and very forgiving. I tried a set of Mizuno JPX900 forged this year, and they lasted exactly 3-rounds.”
- sneaky_pete: “18* Mizuno Fli Hi II Driving Iron from around 2006/2007. This will never leave the bag! Also still rocking my Adams Speedline Super S 3 wood from 2012.”
- dpb5031: “Arnold Palmer AP30r blade putter – ~50 years old. Kasco K2K #33 (sorta between a 2 hybrid & 5 wood) – 18 years old.”

MP-14 2 iron. Still saving me escaping from thick woods under the trees (100-150 yds). Hardly for full shots but I use it as much as (if not more) my 60 deg wedge. The only other club I can hit as low is my driver (175+ yds)

Tour edge XCG7 3 wood with a nunchuk in it. On my second head now since the first one cracked after about 4 years.

The putter doesn’t count……….
and anybody with older clubs beyond the groove rules, I will call you out on it every time and penalize you for the round and not allow you to post your score.

It’s gotta be my “deep faced” 3 wood because I can’t hit a driver to save my life.
