I have started playing again this year after about 15 years off. I used to work grounds crew at a course, and I had a mismatched incomplete garage sale set of clubs that I played well with. Then I graduated college and got a job and decided I wanted a "matched set", so I bought some Spalding Cannons from a clearance table at Sports Authority. I don't remember how much I paid and I quit playing fairly soon after buying the clubs. I regripped them this year, and I can mostly hit them OK, but I have no idea if they are considered good/bad/bleah etc. Note that these are not the "Cannon Advance".

Anybody know anything about these clubs?

Difficult to determine good or bad vintage cast clubs as vintage forged clubs seem to be those that have more of a following in terms of collectability.

I don't think that they would stack up very favorable with more modern offerings, even from 10-15 years.  For example, Taylormade RAC OS would probably blow the doors off those Cannons for a pretty small investment.

I did find the following if it helps...

Thanks for that link, I was able to view the images. Wow, 1987! I am pretty sure I bought them in 1995 or 1996, I wonder if they were used or something. Well, might be time to start looking for something else...

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
