Just looking for whatever information people might have on the irons, got them from a yard sale quite a few years back in a blended bag. Debating have them restored and paint filled, but not sure if it's worth it. 

As for the putter, it was my great father's, really don't know much about it he gave it to me when I was very young after teaching me how to hold a club. Really just curious if anyone knows what year it'd be from.

Those irons are mostly the Power Thrust model from 1961. If refurbished you may find a Hogan enthusiast willing to give you a few hundred bucks for a set…..

Thanks for the info @Vinsk. Honestly, think I'd more more interested in restoring them to hit with than to sell. Just wasn't all that sure if they were considered good playing clubs or more of a vintage display type deal.

Well that’s purely your own choice. I too like to get out and play older model clubs just for the hell of it. I just bought a real nice set of 1987 Wilson Fluid Feel 2-PW. They’re in amazingly good condition….I’ll post pics in another thread. I often play with my set of Titleist 620MB irons to which I have no business playing…lol. But I think having some that prepared me a bit for complete lack of any forgiveness with the older blades.

Yeah there's just something about giving vintage equipment a second life that I've always enjoyed, vintage cars, clubs, instruments there's just something to it. 

And coming back to modern equipment after, just makes everything seem so much easier and definitely more forgiving when it comes to clubs.

The difference between modern blades and vintage blades is surprisingly significant.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
