Hey Y'all,

I recently had a set of Mizuno MP14's and a set of King Cobra Cb6's stolen from my house. I now am in the club searching phase and have come across a couple of sets.

I have a set of Wilson Sam Snead Blue Ridge irons 3-9 with leather reminder grips and im not positive of the shaft but seem to be like a s300 stiffness with the faces in decent to ok shape

and

a set of Titelist Acushnet 108's 2-PW with golf pride grips and regular steel shafts, but the grips are in terrible condition. the faces are decent

I am not very experienced at golf, and have around a +20 handicap. Which of these sets would make more sense to regrip and in the case of the wilsons probably refinish the heads?

Any help would be appreciated.

PS when i played with my old sets, i preferred playing the mizuno blades and my game was substantially better with them.

First, welcome to The Sand Trap! :beer:

Second, I would personally recommend that you forget that you own either of those second sets that were not stolen. You can definitely pick up a very affordable and decent set of used clubs online though which would definitely benefit you and your game much more. I can confidently say that just due to the significant changes in technology.

I would personally recommend that you check out Global Golf for a set of decent used irons. I think this would be much more beneficial than spending around $100.00 to re-grip those old clubs of yours.

I would suggest as a 20+ you consider a set that was made more recently and will be much more forgiving, unless you are into retro golf equipment.

Thanks for all the quick responses. I will definitely look into newer clubs, but between the Wilson's and the Titleists which do you think would be a better club? I for some unknown reason love playing older clubs.

I guess the Titleist's, but again I definitely would not waste money regripping them. You can pick up a whole set of newer (used) irons for maybe $100-150 more than it would cost to regrip those things. A very good set at that. You'd also be advancing from 8-track to Blu-ray in the process, in terms of technical and game-improving advancement.

    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
