I have a chance to purchase a set of these irons. What do you guys think? I know they're quite a bit older but the guy told me they're great clubs.

Which Tour model?

Put a slightly better way: which specific models (which years) are you talking about?

Nice, if I had the chance to get those irons, man I'd be happy . Even though I've never played them, I trust those are some great clubs. I'd love to get a vintage set like those ...

Very very nice! I always loved the look of those things, I had a few friends that used them during the 90's and they are a fine looking club. If you think you have what it takes to use a set of them then by all means try them, but you'll want to be catching everything right out of the middle.

Given your current handicap maybe you might want to ditch the longer irons from the set and replace them with hybrids for a bit more forgiveness, the 2 and 3 irons from that set aren't the sort of things you'd want to catch thin on a cold morning, you'd be wringing your fingers for the next 5 minutes.

Something else to keep in mind, if you look at the lofts on those clubs they are very traditional so don't be surprised if the 9 iron goes the same distance as your current PW so you may need to put some thought in to your wedge setup to work around it.

Very nice clubs, if you can use them well then you'll earn a lot of respect!

Dear lord, if 1991-94 is "vintage", I must be antique.

I sort of though the exact same thing but didn't want to bring it up!

Thanks for the info. So far, I'm getting the hint that they're pretty hard clubs to play with?

I'm not the best player but I'm also not the worst. I think if I practice a lot with them, I'll get the hang of using them.

They look like a pretty unforgiving blade. If you can back yourself to learn to hit them go for it.

During that time titleist made clubs for 2 h/c,s with very smooth swings they looked nice but where very unforgiving I have never hit them but I feel you may find better

A little more specifics and we could probably give you a really good answer.

Well, it's the Titleist Tour Model and he said the years are from 91-94. He's selling them for $60 and they're in excellent shape. The set consists of 4-PW and he's also throwing in a Titleist SW as well.

Another question I have is, are these blades similar to current blade style irons out on the market these days? I know blades are more of a players club and would definitely devote my time in getting used to these clubs. I play about 4-5 times a week.

For $60 in excellent shape I would jump all over this. What have you got to lose? If you decide they're too difficult to play you still have some gorgeous clubs to display in your home, office, etc.

I hope I'll be able to play with these clubs. They'll be my first set of blades if I do decide to pick these up.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
