Show me your golf clubs

Thought some might want a little golf club porn tonight.

These are my one-off customer irons made by Don White-master club maker. He ground for MacGregor for years-Nicklaus, Norman, etc. I told him exactly what I wanted and he made them from "flat-back" heads.

Those look to be quite amazing. Absolutely beautiful.

I'm an amateur golfer and have the typical run-of-the-mill clubs. Maybe one day with a lot a practice and hard work I can have a set like these.

As appealing as the classic blade is, my ball striking is not up to the challenge. I'm all over the club face, I'm afraid. I even have cavity back hosels on my irons so I get more distance out of my shanks.

Sorry I don't have any pictures of my clubs on file and they're at the desert house right now.

Are those Scratch irons? They're so nice! I'd feel bad hitting them.

Nice! Haven't played a forged blade for 15 years. My hands are stinging just looking at those clubs with my current state of iffy ball striking...

Hard to beat the workability of a blade.

Tried several different cavity backs through the years but I always go back to my blades.
They're the difference between hitting shots and shot making.

This makes me wonder if AzPaul stands for Paul Azinger.

I'm actually in the market for a new set for this season.

My last set was Taylor Made LCG. with the weighted head..

I would like to buy a set for this season. If you don't mind me asking how much do a custom set go for roughly?

I might just go with the new Taylor Made RocketBladez Max to go with a SLDR Low CG high Loft Driver . Out of this world

I have hit a lot of clubs in my 25 years of playing golf. I bought a brand new set of Titleist AP2's a few years ago and I haven't hit anything as smooth or fluid since. (All you true golfers know it's all about feel!)

Currently on Ping G20s...haven't had enough rounds (must take a plane flight from home to play) to see how I like them. They better get better this trip!! :)

Those Don White's are awesome. Big fan of Scratch irons.
My dwindling rounds have caused me to move my 680.MB blades to the garage in favor of my AP2's...still a great iron. Also a garage full of drivers, woods and hybrids. But this...this is my pride and joy. Scotty Cameron circle T putter right from the tour. Only 3 in existence and this one was made after the player saw Jim Furyk's...who owns the original.
