Old Dogs, new tricks: becoming a Titleist fanboy

[dbuck]

So, I am a somewhat cynical old curmudgeon. I am loathe to adopt new things. I have been playing a lot of vintage golf (wood woods, forged blades) for the past several years, but keep a slightly more modern bag for the occasional scramble where I feel obligated to use the most mitigating equipment I have.  I am basically a fairly consistent bogey golfer with either type of equipment. I have come to find out that the ProV1 works fine with vintage gear, and have come to like it for all play. I use the "practice" version for casual play, and the regular version for the occasional tournament or scramble.

Most of my gear has been acquired used or discounted. My "modern" bag does include a set of Titleist DCI irons that I actually bought new -- 25 years ago!! It also has a Titleist 905T driver that I got at a pawn shop, but has served pretty well for several years. I recently picked up a used 913D2-an eye opener even for the most cynical. I am Jonesing for a newer version-there is still a lot of 915 product in the pipeline at attractive pricing. I am seriously considering actually getting fit for a set of AP1s (appropriate to my skill level, but something I would have scoffed at six months ago.)

To paraphrase Dr. Lector in "Hannibal", it is good to try new things.

There's a reason Titleist has been around as long as they have!
