These '62 Power Thrusts just came in (you may recognize them from M4, for those who’ve seen it). Beautiful sticks, although they need a little oxidation clean up (any suggestions are welcome). Bought them around the same time as the Percussions.

I put the Power Thrust (on left) and Percussion 6 irons side by side for comparison:

Cheese,

Nice set.

You might try taking a “000” or “0000” abrasive pad (or steel wool) to them.

Just received my Hogan PCs with Apex 4 shafts. 3-E. I’m a happy camper! They are in excellent condition too.

Good for you freddiec!! They look pretty clean… do they have that softer leading edge you were talking about? My guess based purely on what I can see of the 5-iron in the pic is “no”.

Nice find,

robbo

Robbo,
You have a good eye. I knew these would have a fairly sharp leading edge, unlike what I remember having in 1987, but I knew thats what these were going to be. These also have little to no bounce from what I can see, but my eyes may not be that accurate. They set up nice and probably a degree flatter than my Miz MP60s, which could be a good thing. D2 SW compared to D4 on my Miz MP60s. Should be fun!

I am the owner of some new woods…

Now I’ll have to take them to the range and have a hit and see what to put in the bag. I like the idea of using the Hogans because there’s a driver and 3 wood but they are laminated, whereas all other drivers are solid persimmon. I might end up selling the Hogans and the Cobra and keeping the Penna and Wilson. Don’t know yet. :confused:

Pippolo,

That Penna looks “sick”!!! I love that color combo. It looks like a “Jupiter Slugger” - one of TP’s really deep face models.

Nice finds,

robbo

Pippolo,
Those are some great looking woods you picked up. I saw that Penna and was thinking about it… Its stunning. I also like that Cobra, the grain is superb!

yes pippolo…I would think twice about ditching the Cobra. I had one of those years ago when they first surfaced and loved it death. Mine was a 2 wood!! hence i ended up offloading it for a wood with a No.1 on it

nice start on a collection Pip—lets buy some more stuff!!!

You’re bad!! :laughing:

Thanks for the tip Twomasters, I’ll go to the range this afternoon and give them all a go and see what happens. Do you still remember what you liked about the Cobra?
If I sell the Hogans I’ll need to look for a persimmon 3-wood…what a sacrifice looking for more clubs to buy. :mrgreen:

Thanks Robbo and Freddie. It was fine to bid on them and get them for very little compared to modern equipment.

Yeah yeah—I’m bad…and crazy too, cuz I bought more stuff—let’s get a move on Pip—you are falling way behind!!

See, if I didn’t have to pay US 7 for postage I would probably buy 2 sets a week… :blush:

Well done on those Tourney BTW. Heck, 12 bucks!!!

Nice woods Pip, I’m ready to buy off you at any time mate :wink:

I got my 76 Wilson Staff’s at 4.30pm on Xmas Eve. My wife wrapped them up for me and I opened them on Xmas morning, haha.

I’ll get some pics up soon.

Now I’m after some Wilson Dynapowers and Macgregor MT2’s… damn postage costs from US to OZ price me out of a lot of oppurtunities.

That was meant to be US 75…
