Let's see, my vintage iron sets consist of: S2H2, ping Eye 2, Ping Zing, ping Zing BeCu Big Bertha (mid ninties), BeCu Big Berthas, Hogan Apex Edge, Hogan blades. Hogan Radial, More recent: Taylormade r 11, Nike Vapor, Nike Covert Drivers: Ping woods, Hogan woods and First Flight woods all in immaculate condition, Titleist 975, original Big Bertha S2H2 drivers and fairways in all lofts More recent: Cobra ss427 Taylormade SLDR 430 and 460, Superquad, Nike vapor, Nike Covert, Ping G425 12:02
I have an old Burke set of blades that I lengthen this week. They are already a bit upright. Played them yesterday. Very nice after I got used to it. My vintage woods are Powerbilt citation. I should add the Tony Penna wedge. I normally play an M2, Taylormade P790 UDI 2 iron, TM RAC TP MB because they are beautiful.
Nice set ups, all three bags look like fun stuff. The Adams irons....a reminder of so many brands who were gobbled up/went bankrupt/etc...nowdays the smaller internet direct to the consumer thing is nice but I can't just go pull one off the rack and make an in person decision. Oh yeah, clubs are being financed these days, lol! $$$$.
Love, love, love your vintage set. Well done sir. I have for the last 5 years or so started collecting vintage "gamers" because I'd rather play them than look at them you know. Thanks for the share.
I believe you are correct about the year on your Wilson wedge. I have the same set which I call my Sputnik irons because of the round weight. They were preceded by the Wilson bullet-backs. I have the Wilson ‘62 turf riders with an old set of Wilson laminated woods for my vintage set. Of course I have an old bullseye as my putter.
Thanks for sharing these range of golf sets that you have. Your vintage set is great. I just have a vintage set of irons that I like which are the Ben Hogan 99 Apex blades. I also have a loaner set of clubs which are mizunos: ST driver, GT 3-wood, titleist 913H, mx-25 irons, titleist wedges, and TP Mills putter. I normally play a Sim Driver, Titleist TS2 3 wood, Callaway Apex hybrid, Mizuno MP-H5 irons, Titleist wedges, and a Mizuno putter
Mr. Vintage- For me the vintage set is the most interesting of the ones you presented; lots of character to these! If I may ask, how do your vintage scores compare with the modern club scores? Please keep up the fun videos. Bob
Love your vintage bag, the M85TW woods are beautiful, I'd love a set of those. And those Trumatics look lovely too. Putter head cover? Why would I want to use one of those? As long as I don't throw my bag around the putter isn't going to get damaged so I like to be able to see it.. I don't have a fixed bag and usually change clubs every week or so.
Great to see that 2 iron in the vintage set. I golf a set of powerbilt woods. The 5 wood is just excellent. The irons are wilson fg 51 because Payne Stewart golfed them. So not as vintage as your wonderful clubs. Great vid.
I'm an old coot....so my "modern" set & "vintage set" would be the same... Outside of that, my chosen clubs are between '91 Hogan Magnum Plus, Browning 440, Ray Cook Afluent, and a Ping Eye 2,...(woods - Hogan Big Ben C-S3 & a C455 5 wood ) & my H&B Grand Slam Mars 70 putter. Oh, I still have the wedges that came with the Magnum Plus' - Hickory Stick (pre-Calloway) 1 & 2 (PW & SW) & a Hickory Stick (Calloway) 3 (LW) A loaner would be an '88 Hogan Edge Forged or H&B PowerBilt TPS blackened either w/a set of Big Apple Golf woods & would offer either a Ping Zero4 or a Ray Cook mallet or Ping clone...neither set has a SW or LW, so at least a Hogan Sure Out and perhaps a 60* Trusty Rusty I would always have a couple of persimmon, either Hogan's or H&B's
Oh wow, there are a lot. Early in the 1990's the Big Bertha driver was popular. If you are looking for something more... wooden, maybe try a Woods Bros driver. It really comes down to what you like. The joy of playing vintage irons is there is modern stuff too! I wouldn't fault you for rocking a modern 460cc Driver. The Ping Eye 2+ irons are amazing! Best of luck!

Back in the day there was no such thing as a putter cover. It was kept safe by the head covers of the woods.

Do you ever hit the 2 or 3 irons, or instantly grab the 5 wood?
I usually instantly duck after I hit my 2 or 3 iron!
I have a full set of ping eye2 plus irons and wedges my question is what driver to do recommend to complete my set ?
