How can using old wooden clubs help your game? In this video I try to see if I can break par using some garage sale golf clubs I bought for a grand total of $12. How far can I hit my driver and what are the benefits of using these clubs from time to time. Be sure to subscribe and check the links below for special deals and discounts.

Love it. Old school baffler tech
😎 Good idea Matt! Something to those old clubs. It's what I learned to play on and got good at! And nothing like that sound! Makes me want to pull out my oldies! I know they have some at the good will in town! Put on a new grip and they have new life!
I bought my first driver in 1981 when I was 18. It was a Walter Hagen permission and I paid $55 brand new. I could smash that thing and there was no better sound when I put the screws to it.
Great video as always.
Could you do a video using 40 year old golf balls with your new clubs?
I haven't seen anyone try that.
It's not the arrow, it's Mr. Short Game!
I have an old MacGregor golden 🐻 1 wood! I love taking it to the range and letting friends hit it. Everyone is really surprised how far it goes!
I still have my first set of irons I got back in the 60’s. Set of Wilson Staff Dynapower clubs. I took them to the range to see how well I could hit them now. Wow! I don’t know how I hit them back then. I let a friend hit them and he was hitting them better than his new clubs.
This confirms that you can still score well if you have a good short game. I have a Northwestern 2 iron in the garage. Can't believe how small the head is. I don't believe I could ever get the ball airborne with it.😒 Thanks for the demo Matt !!.
I hope old clubs help all my clubs are old used clubs😂👍
Yeah the further you hit it the worse the miss left or right. Just give me 220-230 down the middle with my 3 wood that's old and 18°. That's plenty even on a long Par 4. Since I canned the driver and just bump my 3 wood down the middle my scores have really dropped. 300 yards OB is still OB👍
great video dude…
Awesome video. I love when you post videos of you playing. Way to show it's the player not the clubs.
I enjoy your videos 4 the info but the best thing is your attitude. It keeps me coming back. I live close to Knollwood gc, the old ratpack stomping grounds.
Great point on losing some distance but not golf balls. Did u get the idea from the golf sidekick guy?
Now you know what "Catching it on the screws" means!
That chicken soup book is good. Read it when I first got the golf bug. Good stuff.
Awesome!!!! I just played Knollwood for the First time in February with my buddies to settle a Challenge. Came from Texas to do so….
I am a 15 handicap now. I got there by using cavity back blades. Harder to hit, but helps me focus. I never got good using the easy to hit ping g5. Also when I first started I used went to persimmon because I was having trouble with modern technology. Good job Mr. Short game.
I've been wanting to do that with a vintage set I have just to see how I do. Thanks for sharing Matt 👍
Great Video!
Hay buds can you help can you recommend a good golf insurance company as just gone out and got some nice clubs apex + Epick Flash plus I'm in the uk cheers your man from the UK Baz 🙂
If I did that challenge the only thing I would do is break the clubs
Bought a old set of Ping Zing 3;5;7 woods, there’s only about a 10-20 yard diff from my newer stuff, and yes, a lot straighter too! Nice work.
Hey Matt, what is your handicap?
I have a tiny old 2 iron that I use to practice and it really helps ball striking with the irons.
I was at Knollwood Friday 😭
A lot of big hitters in the woods so says OMP..
Sweet
Matt, I have been swinging a set of wooden Pings, 3 and 5 wood, for a long time. While they are not safari off the tee, they are the sweetest sounding clubs around! WWWhhhhhACK!
I jumped when I saw that Northwestern Custom. I was hoping you’d pulled some Pinnacle Golds to play 👍👍👍 Pumped that thing to a beast 270💪🏻💪🏻💥
You really are the best and funniest golfer on youtube
I grew up with wooden clubs and blades.. last night I picked up an old Spalding set . Guy said they hadn't been played in 20 years. Sounds right…
Well today I'm gonna go play the whole set..
0:37 I have that same old Callaway Big Bertha, except mine is a 9 wood. Paid $2 for it and is my favorite club.
My old Ping 2 wood I could hit the living snot out of it but RIP in blew up into little shards of splinters 10 years ago.
always great stuff, MSG! great concepts, great music, great editing! $12 … nice!
I play Nike/Sumo wshaft I play to a 13hcp. I am 210 off the tee and beat most guys 260-290 off the tee!!!!!! They looking for ball.
All my clubs are brand new except I have an old 2 wood in my bag. Proper wood! It’s my middle club between my new 3 wood (metal) and my 4 iron. I did have an old 1 iron but it went just as far as my 4 iron. The old school wood is a perfect in between club!
Wilson Staff persimmon set was my first .Sounded great .Pity about paint chips easy
I picked up the game last year after a very long multi year layoff. Using a Woods Bros. Korker Driver from persimmon and filled with cork. This driver was played by a lot of big names back in the late 70's-80's. Anyways the best feeling driver I've ever played and it has to be close to 30yrs old. stay safe
Persimmon woods make such a classy sound.
I always get excited when I see a Big Bertha
