I'm new to golf and using my dad's old set of clubs. He had them for as long as I can remember, and I'm 30. The irons are Wilsons, but I just pulled out the putter for the first time today. This thing looks ancient! Can anyone identify it?

Irons: X-20 4-AW
Putter: 33" Rossa FontanaShoes:Footjoy Contour

Geez that is old. What does it say on there?
Looks like a very very soft metal.

I'm not sure what it says - Otey Grisman maybe? I thought it was strange to have a wooden shaft as well. No telling if it is original. My dad could have put the wooden shaft on it as a joke, he was that kind of guy.

    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
