I wouldn't call it classic or traditional,and its possibly not iconic, but the Oddysey 2 ball probably started the current trend for a lot of larger Mallet style putters with alignment aids we're seeing nowadays.
Correct me if I'm wrong but in the immediate period before the two ball it seemed any larger putter with any kind of forgiveness was deemed unfashionable. The two ball seemed to change the way people thought about putters.
Ive never liked it though Tbh.

Other than the ram Zebra as mentioned earlier in thread.

X12s were better though

Long handled putters -I first saw Peter Senior use one in the early '90s but not sure if he was the first proponent- and Gene Sarazen's sand wedge from the 30s

I don't think the Ram Zebra from the 1970s started the current trend for larger putters with alignment aids. TM ghost, Ping Nome, Rife 2 bar Etc

Can't believe that MacGregor VIP Tourney's aren't on the list. Absolute icons.

Mizuno TP9 irons, circa about 20 years ago. Always lusted after a set but never bought any.

Agree with this as the r7 was the changing point and the r11 was just one of its children which grew up and become better than its farther the r7.
Bit of a weird way to say it but it seems to make sense. I hope

Lots of strange choices going on here. The only ones I would say that are truly iconic are:
Bullseye putter
MacGregor eye-o-matic woods
Wilson 8802 putter (Little Ben)
Anser putter
Ping Eye irons
Mizuno TP irons
Big Bertha driver
The rest all certainly made an impression but I wouldn't say they are iconic.

I think you have to bung in tm's first white driver. As much as I hate it, it changed the driver market over night.

The TaylorMade R7 Driver was a bit iconic with its changeable weight system.

How about some of the cracking blades of the 80's?
Maxfli Australian blade
Wilson Staff Tour blade
Ram Tour Grind
Titleist Tour blade
Oh - and the Wilson Firestick from the early 90s

My dad has a 3 wood of one of those in the spare room, it's got a head the size of a tea spoon.
As for iconic clubs, was is Sarazen that first put bounce on a sand wedge now that's got to be iconic for the way it's changed wedge design.
