my irons are the original callaway xforgeds and whilst by far the oldest items in the bag they are by far the least likely to be swapped out currently too!

My driver is 7 years old.
My 2 wood is 16 years old.
My 3 and 5 woods are more than twenty years old.

AW.....Off your handicap it does sort of back up my post that shiny new clubs ain't gonna make us better players....

I think myself that there is some truth in being loyal to a particular set of irons or clubs...
Loyalty may breed a better player in us all over time.

The scratch players that I've played with have all had clubs that were very old. Why? They know exactly what the club can do and how far they can hit it. They trust it. Once it's changed, they've got to go through the whole procedure of hitting the club loads of times before they get the same level of trust.

The tour pros have new clubs because someone's paying them to use new clubs. That's not to say that they won't spend hours on the practice ground gaining the trust but they're paid to tell us that buying the latest clubs will make you a better player.

My take is that a golf club is a golf club is a golf club. If I hit my driver left - is it the club's fault or mine? Mine. So learn to hit the club properly.

Plus, it saves you a small fortune!!

Completely agree mate....
After 2 years of switching too and fro im finally pleased with my bag.

In my garage are a selection of hickory shafted clubs - I reckon they're older than my Dad!!

Oi !!! You don't want to be so rude

Nickent 5 wood for me, had it since 1996, still performs though having a regular shaft needs to be hit a little easier than my stiff 3 wood. Great club and only cost 70 quid new iirc.

My Ping Anser putter has been in my bag for about 17 years (over half my life).

 

[StrangelyBrown]

Had my Ping Anser since 1982. Granted it had a long sabbatical when we fell out of love but its back in for good now

I was born in 1982

My oldest club is my driver which I think i've had for about 2 years.

Well I hope your driver looks like the one on the left otherwise you might be forced into that change...

Thankfully, my driver does resemble the one on the left.

I checked it on the R&A website about 18 months ago...

My irons are 17 years old and still going strong. They're perfect for keeping the ball down round my rather windy course. I've looked after them religiously, will bite the bullet in the next 18 months though as i'm a good club and a half behind everyone else these days but i love my irons. The only thing that worries me is that i'll not find a set with the same level of control.

Good old fashioned Wilson Staff blades, canny beat them
