PS-5000 irons?

[wolfy76]

I've recently bought a complete set of irons and woods on the fleamarket and was wondering if anyone knows anything about them.

They only say "PS-5000" on them and the word "Lite" in the cavity. Construction seems very decent though, with TT-Lite shafts (R) and Lamkin silhouette grips, which like the clubs are in excellent condition. I have no idea what they are and failed to find a single piece of information on the internet so far, but these actually are sweet irons (the woods are terribly dated), from the early nineties I'd reckon. Very precise and fun to play with, probably due to / aided by the fact that these shafts seem a very good match for me. Given how much I've enjoyed hitting them so far and the fact that I got the full set for 10 EUR, these might be the steal of the century for me.

I'd love to know more about them, so every bit of help / info is appreciated. Cheers!

gutten tag wolfy,

I recently bought a full set of ps5000 irons at a thrift store in Birmingham, Alabama that sound exactly like the ones you describe. Same shafts and grips and in the same excellent condition. Odd, huh? I have found no others online and no one in the extensive golf community around here has ever seen them either. Like you, I really like the way they hit, and like you, pitched the woods for more modern ones. You don't write like english is your second language, I'm guessing U.S. military? Anyway, we seem to be alike in our taste in ballhammers. If you find out anymore about them, please let me know.

Best regards-

TWB

Very interesting...

I managed, somehow to inherit a set of these from a cousin who discarded them as soon as he started earning cash and the yuppie bug bit and he NEEDED very expensive clubs.

I have looked for info on these clubs a few times, found nothing.

I have not got the chance to hit them yet so I don't know how they feel, but exactly the same shafts and grips as yours.

My grips might not be in the same condition as yours though, as they've gone kinda shiny. But they're nowhere near as old as the Ben hogan Blades I got a couple of years back.

Please do keep us posted if you find anything.

PS. These seem well travelled as I'm from South Africa. Quite far from you guys.

Hi Gentleman - not sure if you are still receiving updates on the PS 5000 Irons as the posts go back to 2011 and its now 2019!!

I'm orignally from South Africa, born in 66, and moved to Canada in 1994 along with my PS 5000 irons and Wilson, wooden 3, 5, and 1 Woods. 

I still use them and score as well if not better than most of the guys who buy all the latest "jazz" - they are in fabulous condition and i have had then since i was 11 years old when i bought them from my neighbor in Durban for R40. They have played all over Canada and now in parts of the USA! People who play with me refuse to believe they are that old and play that well!! My wooden "Wilson Persimmon woods" - particularly the 3 and 5 are killer and still play as good as anything out there!!

These fabulous irons were made by a golf shop in South Africa that has stores in the major cities. It is called "The Pro Shop", see

The Pro Shop is South Africa’s largest golf equipment superstore. The Pro Shop supplies a wide range of golf clubs, golf balls, gloves, bags, golf carts, clothing, footwear and accessories. Shop this huge selection and save on...

, and hence the initials "PS" on the clubs. The "5000" was a "version #" to distinguish each model/version they made. Think of it as their "in-House Label/Brand. I have reached out to them to see if they have any of these aroundf or could point me to where to find them.

I had my PS-5000 Sand Wedge stolen when I lived in Calgary along with my putter.

Hoping this message gets to you fine gentleman and perhaps we can all play a round of golf together one day? We could start a trend and be the "PS-5000 Challengers"

They are made by Allied Golf corp. Old company that died years ago (they were around in 1931, not sure when they started). They were only sold in golf pro shops. I bought my PS-5000's brand new in the mid 80's when I was on the High School golf team at a local pro shop. They were top of the line clubs at the time. Paid close to 800 bucks for a full set back then. I still have them, getting some new stuff, and got curious about my old clubs and what they might be worth today and if they were considered good back in the day, etc, didn't find much....

My brother found some of these irons and a pitching wedge. Someone had tossed them, I'm assuming because they are not new. I needed a 3 iron to try so took that. He's keeping the 5,7,8,9 irons for me. This thread is the only one I could find about PS 5000 clubs

I have my original PS-5000 woods and irons, putter and wedge that I bought 50 years ago. They are in great condition but I am not (80 years old) so I can't play anymore. I would love to pass them on to someone (including the bag) that would enjoy them. Any thoughts folks?

PS 5000,  I bought my set in 1981.  Still own the full set of irons only.  If i remember correctly the PS stood for

Palm Springs.  Purchased at a golf store.  Stainless Steel heads.
