I am having the best time looking for vintage clubs and not so vintage clubs at various Goodwills in my area. At normally $2.00 apiece and less with my senior citizen discounts they are hard to pass up. Found a Callaway Fusion 8 iron from 2006 I believe mint condition this week, Callaway grip and all. I have been reading here and on other pages how orgasmic hitting the sweet spot on Hogan irons is. Picked up a 4 iron Hogan Apex edge 1989 today. Can't wait to try it. A few weeks ago I found a Voodoo Never compromise putter. I was wondering if anyone else was doing this and if so what goodies did you find?

I have 5 kids between my wife and I so we spend a lot of time at goodwill looking for clothes toys golf stuff whatever. My best finds to date were a mint condition 56° cleveland wedge. Camo print and looked almost brand new. The same day I bought it I bought exotic driver that was only a couple years old for $3.00 and went to play it again and traded it for a 60° cleveland wedge. So both my gamer wedges i paid a total of $5.00 for. On top of that ive bought a ping isopur broomstick putter for 10 bucks, and 3 footjoy golf shirts that have titlist on them that are awesome for 4 bucks each.

Nice. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on clubs this year due to health reasons. ( not sure how long I will be able to play) Between Goodwill, Play it Again Sports, ebay, and the local golf shop who sold me my Adamsgolf Redline titanium driver for 5 bucks, and my Adamsgolf hybrid for ten I got $50 bucks invested in my entire bag.....not counting the regrips. :) I just got to work on my swing now. Lol

A set of Powerbilt Goalpost irons

A set of Wilson Gear effects

A Ping hoofer bag

Another decent bag

Usable driver and 3 wood

haha yes shhh..... Yeah ive been yard sale hunting too. Got a beautiful practically new pull cart at one sale for 5 bucks and a really nice shape acuity bag to go with it for 3. Got an old knight driving iron for three at another. Can't hit it though. :) I thought about starting an eBay account and buy and sell. There is gold in them Goodwills. I see the voodoo putter I got for a buck and a half going for 35-40 bucks online. Not a bad profit. I think I will wait for when I find that Cameron putter on 50 percent off green tag sale day. :-D

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
