You decided not to include Hogan or Adams because they are gone or owned by someone else but you put Nike? That’s weird. 🤔🤔
Callaway RAZR X Black fairways. In 5 years, I've never seen anyone else have them.
the mizuno mp001 driver was my first 300yd drive ever, its amazing. the bridgestone j33r driver is also outstanding. the mizuno jpx series irons are great. people need to stop attaching the "handicap" label on clubs. you're really robbing yourself not playing good clubs.
A little off topic, but have you tried/reviewed the Callaway Little Poison putters or any of the earlier callaway putters? I’m looking to invest into a vintage putter but not entirely sure what to go with..
Wedges are what put Cleveland on the radar back then, before the Vokey's, they were in the bags of countless pro's, club golfers, weekend warriors like myself, used bins, everywhere really. I really liked Cleveland and felt it was a workman like brand…solid, well built, and priced a little lower than Callaway and other popular brands, which may have actually caused a negative reaction out of some folks.
For me, the most underrated or overlooked brand that is still very much alive is Wilson. Heck, even most of their own professional staff don't use their drivers, lol!
I use have used Cleveland wedges for 20 years. I have a Scotty Cameron and a Cleveland putter and I prefer everything about the Scotty but for some reason I keep coming back to my Cleveland putter because I make more putts with it. I’m sure it’s mental but I just have more confidence in my boring Cleveland putter.
My first SW was an old Wilson Harmonized wedge. Then an old Cleveland wedge which was leaps and bounds ahead of the Wilson. For me, Cleveland wedges. I had a Titleist TS2 4W and I loved it. Switched to a Cobra 3W LTDx, HOLY S__T! It's AWESOME!!! I practice with old beat up clubs so I can appreciate more all the tech in today's clubs. And to justify all the MONEY I've spent.
Your recommendation on Titleist fairway woods makes me want to try them even more now. I have a Titleist hybrid that I got in an estate sale for $2, and it is one of my favorite clubs. It is long with a slight fade, and is a great addition to the bag.
When the M Craft putters came out, I wanted a blue III so badly. Knowing I couldnt justify the $300 price tag, I still went to the PGA Superstore to play around with one. Not only did it look so damn cool, but I made my first 9 putts with it. I was smitten. Over the next few months I would swing by the store and torture myself, sometimes picking up a PING or an Odyssey as if I cared about them. But who was I kidding? I was there to putt with the Mizuno. Every time seemed better than the last. I told myself it was only infatuation. I knew that one day I would miss more putts and the rose colored glasses would come off. When hat day finally came, I let out a sigh of relief. Yeah, see no matter how cool it was, a putter is just a putter. I can miss as many putts with it as I can my $35 Yes! Glad to have put that to rest.
A little while later I was back in the store buying some grips. On the way to the register I somehow find myself back at the putting green. And since I was there, might as well try out that Mizuno just to make sure that it wasn't all that anyway. I picked it up and sank the first few putts. I was right back where i started. I was arguing with myself for days. Was I really gonna drop $300 on a putter? That was the cost of the rest of my bag at the time. On the other hand, you cant argue with results. Yeah, but I bet they make the cups slightly bigger in there to fool you. What was I to do?
The next time I went to the store I walked up to the Mizuno stand. But then I told myself no. Why keep tormenting myself? I walked away looking for anything different. I had heard the Wilson Staff Infinite putters were underrated. Tried a few but meh. However, next to the Wilsons were the Cleveland putters. I picked up an all black one and hit a few putts. I liked the way it rolled and the grip felt great. I turned it over and see it was called a Frontline Elevado. Inhad never heard of it before. The $180 price tag was a welcome sight. Still kind of pricey but much better than $300. Of course, I putted with the Mizuno that day (it was great), but I went home and read about how Cleveland had pushed the weight forward with these clubs to promote straighter rolls. It looked like some kind of an Imperial fighter from Star Wars too.
I had a few duels between the two and it came out about even. The Mizunno was one up but the Cleveland won me over. I found one on eBay for $120 and that was one of the best golf purchases I have ever made. Cleveland putters are surely underrated. The HB Soft line is solid too.
gotta admit that I don't play anything older than 1992….as far as I'm concerned, ALL clubs made since are overrated…tho I will admit, the Ping Doc17 would fit within your paramaters….
would love to watch/listen to pre-2000, even better pre-1990
