Welcome back to the channel guys today Jo the hfield golf for where we’re going to be having a little bit of a match aren’t we we are yes we’ve got Mark are you a five handed car 4.4 4.4 4.4 I’m I’m the club assistant Pro and we’re

Going to be playing with a set well I’m going to be playing with a set of Club y cloes from 1970s they indeed yes against you know you off scratch with your own clothes uh it’s going to be interesting so you brought your collection of clothes it’s quite interesting see what

You’ve got actually in back you have to talk us yeah certainly yeah well what we’ve got here um Wilson Staff tour block which were uh they’re a laminated head so not a Pimon head like um a few clubs were them laminated the what um Bernard Langer used to use back in the

Day day so there were a uh top club I actually got these in uh 1981 on my 18th birthday so were they brand new as well brand new yeah brand new in 81 yeah I think they came out late 79 but we didn’t have the uh we didn’t change

Clubs every 12 months like we do now we had a bit of a longer shelf life big question then obviously I can see you got ping IR you got ping putter why not ping Woods because ping Woods back in the day were bloody awful to put it

Frankly put it mildly nobody nobody used to use ping wood I mean the the irons were were you know all a lot of ping tour players used Ping irons um a lot of players who weren’t even contracted to Ping use ping puts they were by far the

Most popular putter back then but the woods hardly anybody used the woods so were Wilson the biggest brand in woods Wilson they were one of the top ones you had um you know it’s all changed I mean dun lop and slazer were both good brands

Then pen F you know seio Ste Dunlop and slaz nja funny just dug a slaz bag out and I was just about set it’s a shame it’s not like a ping or a Wilson but would that yeah Slinger were were a decent brand back then yeah bag yeah it

Would yeah wow so I’d have never ever dreamt in this world that Wilson would have been one at leading brands on Market they were indeed yeah yeah very much so yeah yeah and then looking at the irons you know what these irons don’t even look too bad know they’re um

I still use them I still give them uh OU in once every 12 months or so you know keep them uh keep them newly gripped and they’re uh to be honest I don’t personally think they make that much difference I’m going to say compared to the the woods is where the big

Difference is the woods and the putter technology yeah obviously in the woods I’m going to probably struggle but I think iron wise yeah might not be too bad and you brought me a bit of a selection of pink Putters I mean question is as well is

Is why have you kept them all well the uh the short answer to that is I’m a bit of a hoarder so I always struggle to um to get rid of things I mean there’s many people I’ve seen still use these sort of like yeah yeah the um the manganese

Bronze which I mean the um there’s a ping answer there that was the um the first heel tour weighted putter which um pretty much everybody back in the day use Ping Putters the um they’ve won 56 major tournaments 50 we have to say 56 men’s major tournaments on uh in

1988 they won every single major wow all four majors the only put a brand to uh to have ever done that what about like tile Scott Cameron and things like that Scotty weren’t really that well known back back in those days but I mean the Ping aners the most copied putter

Ever I mean even Scotty Cameron you know admits that his puts a uh you know modern variations on pings yeah the the answer looks very much like their new P yeah very much it is indeed yeah looking forward to I mean obviously I’ve actually had one of these before the

Answer see you got the might I’ve had a similar sh I’ve never had an airblade and I’m I’ve heard that these can be collectible can’t they there’s there’s one or two odd ones that are that are collectible but I mean the most collectible ones are the um

Original ping answers I mean that one’s from 1979 so that’s not really uh valuable ones but the Dale Head which was the original casting there can be worth quite a lot of money God I can’t wait to go out and try these is there anything that you think I could be

Surprised about I mean can you remember how far you used to hit these clubs the driver um I’ve never been being a massive hit to myself but uh I mean you know a lot younger when I were using those so I would I would guess back in the back in the 80s I

Would if I nailed one it would be probably 210 220 what would you at your driver now I I average now 238 so I’m a bit of a stat geek so I know that so yeah 238 is my average Drive I thought when I looked in your bag as well so you

You carried a free Anna forward yeah is that not too close together no that were that were pretty much common in those days yeah I mean some they used to have two Woods as well in those days which you very rarely see now so uh you know

It wasn’t uncommon for uh people to carry a one two three four and five but what would the Gap be in distance between them two uh probably 10 15 yards quite precise gol yeah yeah so we’re talking to a guy in shot if you might have any memories from this but

Can you remember moving from sort of Steel to graphite yeah well um again steel were very common you know there were only a few Pros us to ‘s graphite back in the day I mean Johnny Miller were one of the um first I I believe when he won the

Open at burkdale in’ 76 he had um graphite shafts and he had him right through the bag including his irons which even nowadays is uh is very unusual but but what were your first experience when you transition from stealing Woods to graphite can you remember there been a transition in performance well

Definitely because the um my first experience with graphite coincided with um the first experience with oversized heads right so um the first my first graphite shaft was in a a Wilson killer whale driver yeah which was the uh the driver that John Dy used when he won the

Open at St Andrews it’s really so yeah I mean massive difference yeah when you’re pulling these names up it makes want of go on eBay and start looking at buying a killer whale to see what you know he using back then so we’re going obviously

Going out on course we got some Dum lot 65 balls which you told me at the time yeah they were a top ball yeah no Pro around them no no Pro around no Tyler actually do a decent ball there oh yeah yeah to batter everybody Ed pretty you

Know uh I mean dun lop and sling you whil they were top balls and penfold you know they see to lose the way a bit after the big ball became mandatory for tournament play right which was um I think the 1974 open that Royal liven were the first competition where uh big ball

Became mandatory at this side of the pond so if we’re doing a video based on clubs in the late eight or late 70s sorry none are the any early 880s year or is it all late 70s no those all those all came out in the 70s I mean the um

The cast and three irons they were um I believe they were 78 right but do we need to use the big ball or the small ball uh well you could in this country at that time for ameters you could use either so right well we could

Talk forever but it’s time to get on to let’s go and play right good hope you enjoyed that video make sure you tune in that video will drop in two days time 2:00 uh and we’re going to go and play six holes and let’s see what we can shoot with a set from

1970s right make sure you subscribe guys and we’ll see you in a couple of days time bye cheers
