Someone has a set of these for sale locally, just curious if they are worthy of checking out. Anyone ever played a set of them?

This is the best pic they had of the backs, can't really get a good look of them in order to figure out which set they are exactly.

lol, they look almost exactly like my Sam Snead irons.

Those iron's look like the "new" model so they're from the 70's. How much for them? They'd be great training clubs.

Driver - LV4 10* R flex
Wood - sam snead persimmon 2 wood (for windy days)

well yeah they'd be great as training clubs at that handicap. i know because i started out with lynx master model blades and still take them to the range once in a while when i fell sumthing funny in my swing.

I definitely wouldn't be buying them to replace my G5's (which I haven't hit yet). I'd just be using them to work on my swing/ball striking. They are listed for $80 at the moment though I would definitely haggle.

The Fluid Feels were hot on the tour in their day. If the grooves are clean, I would get them. Training clubs? I do not know about that, they are not beginners clubs. You will know when you hit off center with them. Ever heard of the "Hogan Sting"? I guess they will "train" you to hit the sweet spot. When you do hit the sweet spot, they are great clubs and very workable. Fluid Feels were my first set of clubs, but put them away until I learned a good swing. I still have them, and will not sell them. I currently use the WS Goose-Neck, another good forged iron.

thats the point. to train u to hit the sweet spot. thats what we meant by "training" clbs. Not clubs that get started to play golf. Bt clubs which expose the flaws and over a period of time indicate when u've corrected them.

Yep, I'd probably not play these on an actual course for a long, long time. They would just be a cheap set of less forgiving clubs to help me improve my ball striking so that one day I might be able to use a set of forged blades as my main clubs without pissing off everyone on the course behind me. :)

These are amazing irons. Period. End of story. I just bagged a set this year. Playing my best golf in 30 years. Less loft, flatter lie angles. Means I can power through the ball without a hook. Simply amazing feel. Straaaaaaight ball flight. I cut the fairway in half off the tee, throw darts at the middle of the green. Isn't that all you need from an iron?????

That brings back memories. I had a set of Wilson Staff irons over 40 years ago. They had Dyna-Step shafts and leather reminder grips (now illegal). Great clubs in their day but I wouldn't want to go back to playing them again.

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.

      As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
