The trial run went really well. I've only been out twice this year before today but I felt pretty good standing over the ball so I was able to swing freely. I hit several good drives with it and I'm convinced that I'll hit this club farther then my 15 year old steel shafted T-Zoid.
They built this club for me.
When I was a kid I'd jump the fence and play to the clubhouse and when I walked in the pro shop I'd walk over and eye the persimmon headed Hogans. To me that was the pinnacle of golf equipment. Once I got a set of those I knew there was nothing better. Then they invented metal woods. Metal Woods? Really? It took me a long time to switch from wood to metal. I only did so because I realized that I wouldn't be able to ever replace my wood headed clubs when they were worn out. So I went with the T-Zoid with a metal shaft. The smallest head I could find on a metal shaft. It was a good set of fairway woods and the driver served me well. But alas 15 years later it was time to change.
It only took them 20 years but they finally made a titanium headed graphite shafted driver that looks and feels like a persimmon headed club. The new Cleveland Classic is awsome. Persimmon look with the classic pear shaped head.
It was flying a little higher then I'd like today but once I figure out how high I need to tee the ball I'll be able to work that out. It's a pretty cool thing to gain 15 yards off the tee at fifty years of age. I bet I gain more like 20 after get my stuff together. I pumped about it.
The bad news is that now I'm going to have to spend another three to four hundred dollars upgrading my fairway metal.
