Anyone Still Gaming an Older/Ancient Driver

[driverwedge]

^^^^^ Totally awesome!

[Damenace613]

I'm still using the 910D3 and have tried others but hard to replace

Here's the deal.............have been gaming the 430 SLDR this past year and really do like it. Fits my profile and noticed immediate returns compared to my 983e. Not Earth shattering, but enough to kick it out of the bag, which I thought would not happen. Yesterday, I pulled out my 975D with X-flex for some fun and was drilling it. Easily into places I had been with the SLDR, but it just felt like I couldn't miss it. Will it continue, I don't know, but it is in the bag for now to see what could be. Feels sooooo good, and I have never been a fan of the bigger drivers. Love old stuff sometimes!

Titleist 983K, Aldila NV stiff.

I've just bagged the R11 my father was using now he has his new M1. I've always hit it well when I've borrowed it and I've been struggling recently. Can't do any worse than the Fly Z did for me! Think that might have been the shaft rather than the club itself though.

It's not technically a "driver", but I picked up an old callaway big Bertha warbird 2 wood (the deuce!) a few months back and it's awesome. Straight and about as long as my Nike vr tour I still bag.

Always loved the deuce! Plenty long off the tee but also easy to hit off the deck. Very versatile club.

Yeah I like old things (so does my wife)

r7 driver

Sonartec hybrid

Launcher 4wood

Pal2 putter

none of them recent but all of them excellent.

I like playing old clubs the same way some folk enjoy driving old cars

[azgreg]

Just put a 983K with the stock Speeder back in the bag.

[Ripken08]

I just went "back" and bought a brand new G20 driver with tour stiff shaft. Had the same club multiple times and hit it great and then sold it. This one is staying!

[Doaner84]

I still play an 8.5 J33R. Just can't completely take it out of the bag.

[mswmn]

Bio Cell +. For this site it's definitely old/ancient...

[300_Straight]

I play a Callaway X460 Tour 8.5* from 2006. Highly considering changing it to either the LTD Pro or Vapor Fly Pro, but Idk...was hitting it solid yesterday. Had it cut down to 44 3/4 and seemed to improve striking a bit.

[Coca-Rolla]

Not as old as some but I gaming what I feel is one of the most underrated drivers in recent history... Cleveland Classic XL thru in a kuro kage 70x.... BEAST!

[Vintage1976]

I'm trying to re-create some past magic with an original XCG. So far so good!

[Boricua Golf]

By GolfWRX standards drivers older than 2-3 months are ancient, so, my RFX that I got on pre-order in 2012 must be a dinosaur!!!, but I took it to the trials and it was the best fit for me after hitting every new driver/shaft combination on the market, ok, I had 3-4 drivers that fitted me great (M1, G LST, GBB DBD and XR16 Pro)but, the difference between them was 3-5 yards in added distance, the rest of the numbers (accuracy, dispersion, ball speed, spin rates and smash factor) were so close that the fitter recommended a few tweeks to my gamer (which are finally done) to get optimum numbers...cannot wait to test it on the course.

[High gentle draw]

Callaway GBB II Pro Series 9.5 With an NV 65 S. This thing launches low and rolls forever. Great driver! I've been eyeing the F6+ though......

[alittleoverpar]

Still using my FT-Tour. I've tried a lot of different drivers but haven't found anything longer.

[SwingLikeElk]

Still playing a G10 w/ Diamana Blueboard.

[uwhockey14]

Titleist 983K, Aldila NV stiff.

 

The Aldila NV shaft can make any Driver great IMO!!!! Still using an R7 TP Super Quad

Working on getting back to the exact same set I used in college in 2002, IDK if I can go back to the 975JVS Driver however.....

Could substitute with the 983K, so that you're at max COR and still have a head design with some draw bias

Not a bad Idea there!!!

 

PS: looking at your set makeup, I'v been on a little bit of an old school club shopping binge lately but been drawing a blank on some of the solid sticks from 10+ years ago, I forgot about those Sonartec Fairway woods... Those swigs were solid!!! looking on ebay now!! lol

[Spankapotamus]

Going on 4+ years with my ZL. I occasionally troll eBay looking for something interesting, usually on a Wednesday or Thursday, but on Sunday when I smash one right down the middle... I forget all about anything else. Just sent it off to Continental for a freshening up.

[lloyyd]

Still using my Cleveland Launcher 460. Got it and my just replaced irons in '06 I believe.

I use to play against a guy in the Club Championship every year who I couldn't stand and he had that driver and he never missed a fairway.... kinda annoying.. correction... Really annoying... I had nothing against that driver but whenever I played with someone with that driver I instantly didn't like that person.... LOL

[kwcsports]

G10 for me. I've tried every new driver and none beat the numbers I'm getting.

[driverwedge]

I still play an 8.5 J33R. Just can't completely take it out of the bag.

 

One of the best ever. If you want to try something a bit more modern, go for a Mizuno MP 650. It's the j33r reincarnated.

[billh17]

still playing the R9. Just haven't found anything newer that gave results anywhere near the advertising hype.

[gamecock]

My 910 stayed in the bag for a while until I got the Vapor TW. I'm also still playing a Ping i15 3 wood. It is a beast. Been thinking of a new 3 wood but cant justify taking the i15 out of the bag.
