Wow Bill, u still have an Arnold Palmer Original!
Things That Just WORKED
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.

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?
Alpha 400cc 10.5 driver Recoil 50 shaft, KZG 14 degree SP700 with evolution shaft ( my 2 wood) Mars Cydonia 5 wood, LaJolla Knife irons with loonies shafts, Snake Eyes lob wedge, Dynacraft Genesis putter, star smoothie grips, honorable mention Stulz Arrow shaft. Worst driver Wilson Invex, worst hybrid, any of them, worst irons any with a ton of offset.
Things i hated:
Driver...cant think of one really
Fw...Alpha v5 3 wood AND 5 wood. If they set up any more closed i swear the ball would have hit my forward leg.
Irons..had a set of taylormade mc/cb but i think it was the pxi shafts
That's why I'm not crazy about hybrids. I must have a dozen and they all look like they point to left field
