I think the woods you have are pyratone shafts, steel shafts with vinyl cover that looks like wood. A softer ball like a Wilson duo works better than a hard ProV. Glad to see more people giving the old clubs a try, gives you a better since of history and how difficult golf used to be.

Just something great and rewarding about using a putter like that where it is your skill at reading the putt and lining it up properly, without any guide lines etc. Probably the best you've played recently because you had to play within yourself due to the clubs.

@boydgrandy5769 Жыл бұрын
Pete is playing with clubs that defined the concept of "fitting". Hand forged irons, hand carved persimmon woods (no face inserts!) means that you have to hit the thing during fabrication to make sure that the loft is where you want it and the lie is good. Lots of bending and maybe some extra engraving of the club face to get the spin right.

Peter, loved watching this video. Your driver and three wood were actually pyrotene shafts which were steel shafts with a coating to make them look like hickories. Still probably around 1930's. If you ever get to the States I would be honored to have you play a round with my loaner set of MacGregor hickories circa 1920. Hopefully it may happen. By the way, check out Gavin Bottrell. He is in the UK and does amazing restoration work on hickory clubs. He will get you a proper set! Welcome to the world of hickory golfers!

For many years I played with wrapped leather grips. The key is that you have to oil them regularly. Grip oil softens and protects the leather, and also keeps them from getting slippery. Regularly oiled leather grips will last a very, very long time. Mine were over 50 years old, and in perfect shape, when the clubs were stolen, about 20 years ago. You've clearly gotten used to the hickory shafts over the course of using them, and are showing that good golf can indeed be played with them. To broaden your club choices, though, you need to add a niblick to your set.... It's a handy club with an even better name.
@mh274092 жыл бұрын

Love when you use throwback clubs. Reminds me of clubs I grew up with. My first "driver" was a 2-wood. No idea what brand, but I believe it was from 60's or 70's.
