Getting ready to play a TM R7 Quad just as soon as I pick a shaft. Mainly because I wanted a cheap option to mess with some weights.

Yes it is.
It's a better choice if you are ever going to bag the old set of golf club in the future, even just for a few rounds.
Instead of selling it and then later on buying the same makes and model back because you miss it.

Of course, it'll be best to sell / donate if you will never play it again in the future and won't miss it.

Beware, your wife might have an excuse preventing your next purchase.

    The best golfer I play with is a 6 handicapper. We play the blue tees in this group. His Callaway woods and TM irons are all 2001 models. His putter is 40 years old. Dude is the Anti-Ho. New doesn't mean better. I'm gaming a PING G5 driver right now and I don't think I could hit anything else better.

    Oh, and don;t forget the everlasting playability of the PING Eye 2 irons........................oh boy, if they made those again in modern lofts...................

      Just hit one more club or remember the loft instead the number on the sole.
      I don't like the long irons in Eye2 but you won't have that problem...........

          I can't hit anything longer than a 5 iron with any consistency or height! I have used Eye 2 irons and yes, I have to go up a club on each shot. I was just lusting on the fantasy of PING making brandy spanking new ones. 8*)

              I have a guy complaining of low trajectory and lost of distance. He has a bunch of issues with his golf swing but the major one is lack of the snap through the golf ball. In short, he has no release of the wrist through impact. Too stiff trying to maintain direction control. No snap, no elevation. Sometimes he complete the wrist action way before he should have release it.

                  Yep - that move (or lack thereof) kills clubhead speed and launch angle.

                    Nice! I considered the Alpha, but decided to go with the new one. I miss those days when I could actually load a stiff shaft. 🙁

                        I have the same driver....Alpha 815?, R flex, but have yet to hit it.
                        The adjustable weighting appeals to me, especially if I go to a shorter shaft.
                        Therefore, I really am excited about the potential / options this provides.
                        But, no guaranty.

                          I have an old set of FG17s that I still love to hit 🙂 Someday I will reshaft them with something current.

                          Hmmm ... I still have two John Reuter, Jr's around here someplace.

                          Release without a doubt the 455 is old too, I still like it though.

                              Same here, however, with my life changing injury 16 months ago, I could not hit the db455 like old times.
                              With my age, a come back will be highly unlikely.
