Played nine holes with these five clubs the other day. SUPER fun. Highly recommend. The persimmon driver was from 1953. The others belonged to my buddy's grandfather and are probably from the 30s.

The driver wasn't forgiving but it wasn't short. This club was probably the hardest to adjust to.

The jigger was kinda like a hybrid. Good for chipping and longer shots.

The mashie niblick is like a 7-iron. Or at least what a 7-iron was 80 years ago. Could go up to 160ish (in Denver) if you smashed it but was also the closest thing we had to a wedge.

These things DO NOT spin. My wedge shots don't really check up, but they sure as hell don't run out like these clubs did.

It was so much fun. I can't recommend this enough. Reminds you that golf is a GAME.

That's really cool.

My buddy played a round in Scotland one time with old clubs. He said it was really cool to play it the way they did back in the day.

My Spark league partner plays a hickory set on shorter courses with the Society of Hickory Golfers. The sound and ball flight is completely different from modern sets. On courses designed during the heyday of hickory, you really wouldn't be at much of a disadvantage. He does recommend playing Callaway Supersofts or Wilson soft balls exclusively, though. Higher compression balls (including Pro Vs) aren't good for the shafts, he claims.

You probably need some wound balata balls to generate the kind of spin you need with these.

Very cool.

I love the idea of playing with vintage gear.
