Hi All!  I'm new on the Forum and still get to play once in a while.  I am also a Club Collector, and may need to ask a few questions occasionally.  I hope there are more old times like me on the forum who'll be able to answer my questions!

Who are you calling old?😁

I am interested in what clubs you collect? For a while I did putters, just liked the way they looked and I could putt with them if I wanted to. But eventually I got married had a kid and had my wife wondering what else we could buy if I sold them. I did irons for a while too. But they can be pricey and I couldn't really use them because the shafts in old clubs can stop working quite as well. Also the lofts are so different now than in the 50's. So I am hoping to live vicariously through your collection.

Show us some pictures of your collection.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
