Our Retro Reviews series is dedicated to answering the ultimate gear question: Can an older, legendary club still compete with today’s high-tech equipment? In Retro Review #2, titled “The GREATEST Golf Club of ALL TIME…CONFIRMED!!”, we put a true icon to the test, evaluating its performance, feel, and its right to be crowned the greatest of all time.
Why Retro Reviews Matter

- Feel and Feedback: Many older forged or classic designs offer superior feedback, helping the golfer understand their strike better than super-forgiving modern clubs.
- The Power of Nostalgia: Sometimes, the confidence a golfer gains from swinging a beloved, classic club is worth more than any marginal technology gain.
- The Price Tag: Finding a classic, great club can be a much more affordable route to improving your game than buying the newest releases. After all, sometimes, the best gear can be found when GOODWILL WAS RAINING GOLF CLUBS!!.
