Back in the day...I played a 11 degree Mizuno persimmon with a 42 inch x100 True Temper Dynamic Gold shaft. I have NEVER hit anything more consistently. I flighted the ball nice and low with a good bit of run, but of course I did not hit it as far at the oil can I am currently hitting! I was the only fella still using a persimmon headed driver in tournament play (1994 ish)...I may have kept on playing with it...but the head blew up on the 16th tee at Chenal C.C! I still have what is left of it...sentimental I guess. I remember the days of persimmon and squishy balata...at least you had some gear effect to work with. Shorter...stiffer...more loft...mmmmm....I'll be back!
