unknown golf clubs

[louycheshire]

ive recently come across some golf clubs that i was looking to sell so i could get some new ones but i cant find them on the internet anywhere and i was wondering if anyone may know the value of them they are called spalding challenger proffesional and they were in a white leather bag with score cards from all over the world so im guessing the person who owned them was big into playing and wouldnt just have some cheapy clubs . any help would be good thanks

X2 hot irons are brilliant clubs. Although I've just moved from them to Mizuno I have to say they go miles and are easy to hit and if you get them in your correct setup you won't go far wrong

Welcome to the forum by the way!

Spalding were a very well known brand when I started playing golf, decent but not necessarily top end.
That was in the 1990's however, and I haven't seen or heard anything of them for a long time. So I wouldn't imagine they have much value at all.

unless you have some provenance which directly links the clubs to a famous golfer, or they are very very old, they are unlikely to have more than a nominal value - say £1 each - unless there is someone out there who, for personal reasons, is desperate to acquire a set (possible but unlikely).

the designation 'professional' is not exactly uncommon in much golf equipment....and tour pro's don't make a big habit of retaining their scorecards.

though they are absolutely NOT unknown - I'm holding on to my 1984 vintage Wilson Staff Tour Blade Fluid Feel irons in the hope that one day they might become collectable...

I may have to wait a long time.

But by golly they are special looking irons

I still have mine too.....even the 7 iron head looks small behind a 1.68" ball; and the 2 iron is smaller than the ball !!!

This thread takes me back to my distant childhood.

We used to sink a baked bean can into the lawn and putt to it from various positions around the garden. The putter was a Spalding and as JamesR says they were a brand back in the day. Not the absolute business but a lot of people had their clubs.

If memory serves me they also mass-produced tennis balls and rackets, golf balls and other sporting items. I used to have one of their drivers too.

In "Caddyshack" the Judge's son is called Spalding

 

[Face breaker]

Greg Norman played them before moving on to "king cobra" very well known in Rugby circles (rugby balls) and if my memory serves me rite aren't basket balls made by Spalding ?

ps, not worth much judging by prices on EBay !

I've got some old mizuno cimarron irons in garage think they from 90's

I've got an old set of Spalding Executive XE Irons that are interesting. They look like woods or hybrids.
I think Spalding made them in the late 80's.
I keep meaning to give them a try sometime.

now they do look interesting - I can see a market for those.

For highly useable clubs, these would be an option (though not an unknown brand) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261788021337?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

And these went for very little money considering they were forged by 'the hand of God' (Miura)! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/macgregor...SFn56KffocuZHjLDEWjVI%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Bargain at a fraction of what they are worth. Not enough stuck on blingy plastic or orange paint for today's tastes I guess. Good thing is they have probably gone to someone who will appreciate them.

First club I hit a ball with was a Spalding. Dad had a half set of Top Flite blades and persimmon woods. Once were a very big name. Bobby Jones played their clubs and endorsed them when his playing career finished.

As indicated above Greg Norman was probably the last big name player to use them. I think he was also the last big name player to use MacGregors.
