Those are the clubs I have used for years. I played so well with them one year, I went out and bought a different set of Titleist (which turned out to be not as good).

So now I am back to my old beauties...

I tell you, you just can't beat the feeling (tuning fork going off in your loins) of a well struck forged blade...
There's NOTHING better (well, on the golf course anyway)!!!

Go for it.

About eight years ago I was working in a golf shop, playing well with a set of Cleveland TA3's at the time. A beginner came into the shop to buy a set of irons, part exchanging a set of Tour Models in mint condition.

I personally bought them off him for $200 there and then and still have them in the bag now. The Cleveland's are long gone and I was playing to 4 with them, says it all.

The big muscle back means they're not actually that hard to play. I took a year off golf recently after moving to NZ from England and have had them shipped over and within a fortnight, I'm striking them as flush as ever.

Nice, nice blade and it's good to have a rare-ish, retro model as blades start to become saught after again - and the beauty is you don't have to be concerned about them being outdated by a newer model in 6 months.

Classic clubs.

I also have recently bought a set of the 91-94 tour models you're posting about aswell. The the guy I bought them from said they were Steve Elkington's back in the day. It's possible they are legit as he has a lot of tour issue stuff and owned a collectibles store at one point. My first blades were Tour issue 841's handed down from a local pro to me which fit perfectly. I sold them several years ago and then recently found same style heads last week!

I first learnt to play with blades and have switched back and forth for a bit with semi cavity until deciding on blades for good. I have no problem with ball striking with such a small club, it's just a matter of trying not to muscle the shot with these irons. The clubs will do the work for you. Nothing purer. Well, maybe mizuno mp-67's.

Practice with these babies and they will reward you. The feeling of distance control on half and 3 /4 shots is unparallel with blades.

My game sucks to to inconsistent driving and chipping. And these irons are keeping my handicap down.

For $60 you have to pull the trigger. Buddy of mine bought a set of the '87 models in fantastic shape for $20(!!!) from a flea market. Even if you don't play regularly with them, it's still fun to have a set like this and show up with 'em in the bag every now and then!

Yeah, for $60, even if you end up hating them, or you couldn't stand to display them, you could turn a profit on them. Just get them, then get some pics on here for everyone to drool on.

This is 2+ year old query.

I guess I should pay attention then. Maybe there is a great story on how this worked out.

      Day 8 (28 Jun 26) - Worked with face position at address and overall setup - open/neutral/closed - and setting up for resulting shot shapes - using 8i and hard foam balls.  It was abbreviated as the thunder began to rumble. Got in about 20 swings before calling it.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
