Most desired clubs

[the_g_man]

Well i finally got my ping irons that i've wanted for a long time (ping eye 2's) not everyone's cup of tea i know but i've always wanted a set of pings so im very happy with myself. I was wondering if anyone else in the golf monthly world got the clubs they've always wanted (old or new) if so are they living up to your expectations?

Not yet, but I tried an R9 SuperTri and loved it. I want one badly!

 

[RGDave]

Yes, some Callaways and yes, they are as good as I expected.

Ever since trying some X-12s years ago. Not everyone's cup of tea but ridiculously easy to play with.

I remember when I was a junior, I dreamed of having top of the range new gear. I used an old set of Howson irons with a couple of inches cut off and ladies Fazer woods. I think myself lucky to have all my gear now. If I had to pick the one club I always desired the most, it's the Scotty, love it.

 

[the_g_man]

Yes i must admit a scotty ranked very highly in my wish list when i was a junior, settled for the trusty ping putter in the end.

After tinkering with a couple of sets Wilson Di7's and Wilson Fg5 Tour's iv settled on Cobra's S2's....Like the OP. There probably not everyones cuppa but i love them....There only 4 rounds old but iv taken to them quite well....There isnt one of them that i struggle to hit which i suppose is the name of the game with Irons...Im saving at the moment for an 11.5 deg S2 driver and also the 5 Wood just to have the full set.

 

[the_g_man]

I plan on saving up mysef to get the G15 Fairwood and driver, make it a full set.

Pretty much got my dream set, but still play like a nightmare.

Hey Gman, most guys usually wait 30-40 years of their golfing careers before finally getting their hands on the hallowed plasticky rubber grips of the mythical Ping Eye 2 (tm) irons.

Ive never wanted an older set of clubs but when the AP2s were initially showcased, I had to get a set.

I was exactly the same Brendy.

My Ping Anser putter was my dream club when growing up. I used to see lots of people with it when I was a caddy. I finally managed to buy one and I've never felt like changing it since.

Coveted the TM TP's and promised myself a set if I got to 10. However I hit them at a TM demo and couldn't get on with them. Got offered a set for a ridiculous price and thought nothing ventured and I'm more than happy with them. They are everything I want in a club. I have to say (and whisper it) but had these not come along when they did the I15's were on the horizon. Should I ever decide to swap again I'd definitely look at the Ping range at the time

Had taylor made super steel irons. I always wanted these as a guy I caddied for had them. I used these for 3 years but fell in love with the tm 09 burners when they come out. I brought them but if I'm honest on the demo I was hitting Wilson di9s alot better

 

[JT77]

I would love some yururi wedges, they look fantastic! but they are a bit outta my price range for now!!

I would also consider changing my tm tp's to some i15's, tried them a few times and the dispersion is far less than it is with my tm's, just seem to be able to be more consistant with them, but as i paid top whack for tm's when they first come out, they are in the bag for a while yet!! lol

Got my MP-58's and loving every minute of them - even when I put a crap swing on them.
It might go sideways but- Oh the feel..........

Ping Eye 2s are great. When I first started out, I did a lot of research and these kept being put forward as a classic iron with bags of forgiveness. Took my time on ebay and got the set, 3-SW, for just over £100. Superb clubs. They're now my back up set and do need regripped but I'll never sell them. So well balanced for a 20 year old club.

I'd love a set of the Callaway X back prototype irons (as used by Ernie & Lefty). However, I'm hitting my irons so well I won't be changing them until they wear out.

X12s were great clubs, I used to love mine. When I decided to change I tried the newer models, can't remember what that was at the time but they weren't a patch on the X12s so I ended up in Ping land.

 

[Ethan]

I am confused. This is a thread about most desired clubs, but everybody is talking about Ping and Callaway?

 

[Deleted member 1147]

You haven't seen the X prototype then Ethan?
