    Thinking about this the other day looking at my bag and there's one club in there that I will NEVER, EVER swap out.  It's my Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2. 

    I've tried every putter imagine and finally came across this putter a few years ago.  The feel, the look and the confidence I have with this putter is the reason this putter will never get removed.  

    And lastly you can't forget the sweet Scotty head covers...  If you can get one..   

    What's your favorite club? 

    PS - if this has already been posted, my apology.

    My SM4 50.08 wedge.....my go to club from the fairway, the rough, and around the green.....my putter is the club that puts the ball in the hole, but this wedge sets it up......and sometimes I don't even need the putter........

    Honestly, the way technology changes, putter is the only club that really has a long shelf life.  As much as I love some of my current clubs, and loved some of my old clubs, newer clubs will eventually out perform whatever is in your bag.  So with that being said, it takes a lot for me to change putters.  I used the same putter for 15 years.  Changed to another putter for 5 years and just changed back to the old putter this year.  It's going to take something special to get me to switch.

    I'm very confident with all of my clubs (all Titleist ), but I do believe it's the indian and not the arrow.   Will not stray from Titleist products, but will upgrade when needed.   My current bag has all new clubs within the last 18 months.  

    I always get rid of older clubs except putters, but rarely go back to gaming them.

    I agree with TT that it is the Indian and not the arrow (as much as I hate to admit that I am the weak link).... but I will always count on Titleist products to back me up with he tools I need to be successful.  I too replace my clubs with the newest generation whenever they are released, which is about every other year, with the exception of my wedges, which get replaced at least once each year depending upon wear.

     

    That being said, the one club in my bag that will never be "replaced" is my 60 degree Vokey wedge.  I use a raw M-Grind with a pro-groove and can use this club from anywhere near the green.  The versatility of this club is amazing.  You can use it for a flop shot, low runner, partial shot, full shot, gosh, it can do anything (almost).  With out a doubt, this club will never change for me.  The actual club itself will be replaced and be put in a bag in my office with all of his older matching "brothers" but you can assure yourself hat he will be replaced with a never, younger version of the same old wedge with some new tight grooves to grip my Pro V1x!

    Very good points by all.  Didn't take into account the technology and advancement of newer clubs and also the wear on the grooves.   I guess the putter or wedges are probably the only thing that would be hard to change out.  

    I'll think twice next time before posting :).

    I love my 60 degree wedge because I have good control, nice ball flight and it applies spin very easily. Great club to have, even though a lot of players don't have one. I didn't have one for a while, but since I got one, I'd say it's taken a few strokes of my game.

    Titleist irons, woods and wedges have come and gone over the years, but my Scotty Cameron Futura Phantom mallet stays in the bag.  Simply put, I make more putts with this putter than any other I've had.

    My 8802 putter. It has been in my bag since 1982. If Scotty ever tries to improve the design let me know.

    One thing about the 8802. It is a feel putter. On long putts on fast greens it performs like nothing else. IMHO

    Always upgrading, but I'd have to say my Vokey 60* wedge. You can do so much with it. I have had many versions of it, and my current is the Vokey 60* SM5 M grind.

    I also did have my wedges customized to match my irons in both shaft and lie angle.
