Most iconic / best / cult following driver ever?

From 2007 there was a thread about the Cobra L4V driver with 3,792 posts! I think that was when I first joined or found the forum.

This is another one of those topics where the parameters need to be defined. Cult following as in biggest in general or biggest for an otherwise dark horse sort of club? Because to say that the 975D or the '16 M2 has a "cult" following among golfers is like saying that McDonalds has a cult following among burger lovers. That comparison is regarding popularity and is not meant to insult the quality.

 

The first thing that came to my mind was the Adams 9015D for sure.

The 9015D club had jackets...leather with skulls!! Mostly sleeveless, dark tans, tats and bandanas. The Titleist/Taylormade club had clean fitted caps. Big difference. Haha. I agree with above. Parameters need to be tighter.

My moneys on the 9015D in a dark alley or at the pool hall and don’t drink the punch!
