Forum Thread of the Day: “Anybody currently bagging an obscure, ancient club?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from nosedive42 who asks fellow members whether they have an obscure, ancient club that has found its way into their bag. For nosedive42, that club is the Adams RPM Low Profile 5 Wood with the Prolaunch Blue 75S shaft, and our members have been letting each other know what older clubs have made re-appearances in their bag recently.
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.
- b.helts: “Every time I have trouble with a 3-wood I grab my trusty Taylormade 200 Tour 13* with a YS-7. She and I have seen good times and bad, but she rarely lets me down.”
- dpb5031: “I recently put my old Cobra Trusty Rusty 53 (bent to 54) degree back in play. Pretty sure I got it in the mid/late 90s. I moved to FL from NJ, and this wedge gets it done for me. The “Tri-Bounce” sole is awesome for a variety of lies.”
- KRW59: “Ben Hogan Beryllium 52° and 56° Special Wedges, that I rescued/liberated from one of the rental sets in our clubhouse….replaced them with a couple old Ping Eye 2 wedges that I had laying around…. they compliment my ’99 Apex nicely.”
- mjbfyb: “When my putting stroke goes down the drain, I pull out my Hogan Junior blade putter from the ’70s. You have no choice but to put a good stroke on it with that thing. It’s also one of the best feeling putters I’ve ever used.”
- pup142: “When I need a spark in my game I put the Lynx Blackcat Irons back in my bag. Great old irons.”

Hogan Sure Out Sandwedge 58 degree I think. Could be 30 or older. An Adams Idea Hybrid 3 on th Grafalloy Pro Launch Platinum. Im gessing it at least 15 yrs old and probably 10s of thousands sold. I also have a complete set 2 – 9 of George Nicoll “Monogram” irons I hit a few balls on the range every now and then. Pinned hosel, on TT shafts, unfrtntly Stiff and I play reglr. If anybody knows anything about this Monogram model let me know. They say rustless, and say hand made, instead of saying hand forged. I also use a a Stan Thompson Ginty 2 BeCu sand wedge for use near the green but I use the Hogan when in the sand. Another item on the range occasionall are some Nicklaus McGrgr xp 70 iron on aluminum shafts. But not used yet on a round. I would like to see a course set up a “Persimmon and blades only” event. ANd we would play from the reds, not whites.

Ben Hogan Special SI, Ben Hogan Special 60, and Ben Hogan Utility wedge from my first set of clubs (bought used)which based on my research are 1959 models. (I play the whole set of 1959s every August 13 in honor of Mr. Hogan’s birthday.)

Anyone who says they are bagging or gaming a golf club should be shot and peed on.

I still carry a Big Bertha Steelhead 7 wood with original pro launch graphite 65 gram shaft. Bought it 30 years ago new. Has never left my bag. Never will
Geoffrey Holland

considering that the original Steelhead was released 20 years ago it’s quite amazing that you bought yours 30 years ago.

1991 Ram Tom Watson Spin Groove wedges made of and marked Cobalt. Made that one year only, indestructible nearly, lofts 53, 55, and 58 degrees. I no longer play them but did for years. Amazing clubs, large following in the UK, hard to find, I still have them

Ping PAL Leftie from the Dark ages with a leather grip. The original along with the ANSER to be the Father of all cloned putters today, and still a great Putter.

No. It’s a Mac Gregor 307 brass headed putter. Straight flanged that my father gave me when I was 16. He paid 2 bucks for it.

Macgregor 307 straight flange putter. It has a small brass head. Check it out on Ebay and Google. My father bought it for me for $2 when I was 16. It was at a garage sale in a bag of Sam Snead irons.
