When I played my best
Driver- SMT db455 9° Accuflex VS339 X.
Fairwaywoods - 3 wood Ca;;away Steelhead with Proforce 65 S ( all yellow paint no purple )
Irons- Ben Hogan Apex Fort Worth, 1-SW Apex 4
Putter, it's toss up between a custom Wilson 8022 style heel shafted putter or an early Scotty Cameron Ping knock off.
The best I had played ( I stopped buying new equipment since 2006 so not up-to-date with all the new clubs )
Driver- Adams Speedline Tech 8.5° , Matrix RUL 54, S ( plus 5 other shafts, blame it on the shaft adaptor ).
Fairway woods, KZG Q series, 3 and 4 woods with TTDG X100
Irons, Taylormade RAC MB coin forged ( first batch from Japan ) 1-PW Flighted Rifle 6.0
Putter, Scotty Cameron Newport Select, and Arnold Palmer Original ( the heavy one before the Callaway version ).
I still have most of them , reason being the used golf clubs not worth much, and I could not replace them if I traded it or sold it. So keepers for this giolfers.

Wow Bill, u still have an Arnold Palmer Original!
A lot of 455 love in here. I never owned one, but hit John Fisher's (golfnut2400 or something) on the 18th hole at an FGI meetup. Holy shit did I smoke that thing. I traded him my Ashton hybrid that day (sorry John).
I still believe that my farthest drive to this day came out of an Infinty Propulsion 440. It was Chuck's (brownmoose) and the shaft was whippy and wrong. I somehow timed that thing right and took a shit on gravity.
Best driver for me was the Cleveland Hibore XL with an Oban Devotion 8 S flex. the only issue was as my swing changed, I needed more height. I should have just bought the same head in a 12 degree version. It was E2 swingweight, which was really, really nice.
I also had a Geek FS3 that was a great stick, but again, too low a loft as my swing changed and the shaft was never as good as the Oban. I still have the Geek, maybe I need to see if anyone wants to trade a higher loft for it (10.5)?
Putter, for me is still my gamer, no chance in getting rid of it anytime soon a Mentorsport Quadra II.

Not enough "worst clubs" in here. I would love to say "the Hammer", but when I tried it, I still hit it well enough.
I will go against the grain and say the Tourswing 5n2 with the honeycomb. I had one and it felt dead and sounded dead. I wanted it to be awesome because it was pretty as hell. I did an apples to apples with it on the course and it was a dud for me.
I had the blue and white Accuflex in it and when I hit it, it sounded like I slapped a water balloon full of milk duds.
Cobra SZ fairway woods (2003). The low profile offset model was the longest I've ever played and still have the non offset deeper face 3 & 5 SZ woods. Wouldn't hesitate to put them back in the bag.

Wedges- Sonartec t46 EC

Had 2 455db, nothing special for me. Worst driver was the funny shaped Tour Swing. May have been the shaft (Epic), but it was noticeably lacking distance no matter how good I felt I hit it. Hated the Infiniti AW wedges. Worst feeling anything I ever hit.
Here is a question. Does anybody still have a 5n2? What happened to all the things we shared?
