I started in the early 1980's with a hand-me-down set of irons that had leather grips and dark-colored shafts. I am sure that they were the best money could buy back in the day. My grandfather was a Kansas City, KS champ and played in the 1935 US Open at Oakmont. He had a set of Kenneth Smith woods that I remember him playing with.

I sure hope you kept those!!!

Those would be sweet to clean up and just display in an office

I play ping eye 2 irons that average 4-6 degrees of weaker loft. I may hit 2 more clubs than you but I know the new irons have tricked up lofts. I played 9 holes with a buddy today. He has callaway apex fitted irons. A 600 dollar driver. 2 woods he paid 400 bucks apiece for. And a 300 buck putter.   My bag clubs and putter are 30 years old. I beat him by 4 strokes. Sometimes it’s the Indian not the arrows!

This is the second time you've said this are you trying to elicit a response? We are all very impressed you are playing old irons although my blades are only 1° stronger than your eye 2s.

As a low handicap player, i play with Titleist Ap1, the most forgiving irons from the brand. I hit a lot of misshits so playing with them it´s better for my scorecard at the end of the day.

Low handicap irons feel amazing when striked rigth, but when not they let u know rigth away with a really bad shot.
This is a game where the most important thing is how much the bad shots are so i think everyone should play game improvement irons with a few exceptions like Pro or scratch players.
