Agreed , the handmade quality and the location of those skilled craft people and the heritage easily beats new blades. A set of Hogan Sunbursts, 1959, made in a factory that is well known, top skilled employees, and at that time still under the watchful eye of the "Hawk" are without peer in my eyes. Will play these until the final sun sets. Many good points , you make here - thank you again... Play on...

I have seen it argued that aluminum shafts offered the best performance for most amateur golfers at that time. But they did not catch on and suffered due to being more fragile and the fact that the tour pros , mostly, stayed with steel.

How about a comparison between this Titleist blad, a blade from the 80’s, the Tour model from the early 90’s and a newer Titleist blade?

[@TheVintageGolfer]

Good idea, I'll put that down on my ideas list.

I have a set of these, they are nice. They were originally called 'Continental' before Titleist bought the Golfcraft company.

Hello Sir. I have an exact set that I purchased at an estate sale, would you know or where I could find the loft specs on the 2-PW? I’ve been looking in vain for the specs but can’t find them.

I love old Titleist blades. Own two different sets of Tour Model blades.

I "de-chromed" the Precision rifle shafts on old my Taylor Made burner tour irons, (1997 models), I just like that silverish non glare look, A poor man's KBS c taper, lol! Also because they sort of look like some Sandvik titanium shafts I used to have. Never tried an aluminum shaft,,,, maybe once years ago. I think Lee Trevino used aluminum shafts way way back when at least in his woods. I keep an open mind on the subject of newer perfection versus older irregularities...as long as it works.

I would like to play these.

[@kylemates7667]

Just came into a set of these, in really good shape. Is it worth getting them refinished so they last or rolling the dice if I'm potentially going to play with them?

[@TheVintageGolfer]

Ha, I think you're onto something.
