Hi guys,
I've been playing with my set of titleist 962b's since 1998 as a junior, had them reshafted 2 years ago to rifle 6.5's +2 inch due to more height! I have a 10 year old ping persimmon 3 wood (with stiff aldila graphite shaft), vintage ping putter. The newest piece of equipment is the balls I use. Callaway HX blue. I find they're the softest ball out there (and quite affordable) and the feel reminds me most of the old maxfli revolution and titty professional. I get some weird looks at the range, but am I living in the past? what's your oldest golfing item you still use consistently?

well, i'm still a student, so if it wasn't for money i'd love new irons! the 3 wood is definitely a stayer though. I do have a 425 tp tour however, a splurge from money saved while not out drinking one weekend!

What if it leaves the bag for a while, but comes back in again?

then it's "effectively" in the bag, you can count it. ;)

I count 905S drivers the same way. :oops:

like putting it in the corner for being bad? That's fine I guess... as long as they learn their lesson in the end. I have threatened my 5 iron a few times, but couldn't bear losing her. love/hate relationship and all that...

i have a pro kennex wedge! didn't know anyone else would've had one. it was be-cu and 60 degree. very rare piece indeed. obviously very, very valuable now though ;)! haha might get antiques roadshow to have a look at it if they ever come to brissy and get an insurance value.

ping anser isopur, its about 7 years old...

i'd really like to get myself an all metal one though, inserts are great, but not old school. :(

Well guess mine are old:

Irons which are Daiwa DG273's. Bought them with my first tax return after seeing IBF win The Open with them. Now 16 years old. Had them re-chromed/shafted/gripped in 2000. Still have them and love them. Will never get rid of them.
Driver and 3 wood which are Hawkeye's, both 8 years old.
Anser 2 putter which is 12 years old.
Both my wedges are most recent, Titleist Vokey's which are around 5 years old.

Everything still gets me around pretty well however.

My Iron set. Ttileist 990's (~98 ). Occasionally replaced with an old set of Cobra baffler blades (~89) when I feel like punishing myself.

Putter is about 40. BozfromOz Snr gave it to Blake Snr in the late 60's. I have used it since '80

I..... :confused: I'm pretty sure my Mizzy gap wedge is 2.

My Adams Tour Spec 3 wood is 2 at least, maybe 3.

I occasionally take a TM Burner Titanium 3 wood out, this is a least 10 years old with the original bubble graphite R80+ shaft. Awesome club for accurate tee shots, the Mizuno MP001 3 wood is far better of off the deck however.....

It would have to be the Adams #2 hybrid now I think.

My RAC TP Combo irons were bought in July 2005. Everything else is newer.

Oldest thing would have to be my driver but thats only a bout 6 months old. Was reshafted about 6 weeks ago though so has had money spent on it. Every thing else is less than two months new in my bag including the bag. I blame this place :) as its never your own fault.

oh, my putter has only been in the bag for a week. But its the oldest piece of equipment in there.
