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.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
