Looks amazing. Is the shaft a modern one (eg 0.350") or traditional (IIRC, 0.294")?

He does such good work. This is a beautiful club.

I had him install a graphite shaft, I assume it’s a .335.  UST proForce 85.

Sweet club, I prefer satin over that much gloss though personally.   What ball do you plan to play?

Looks fabulous. Amazing grain.

A little anachronistic, perhaps?

Absolutely.  I've got a dozen or so old Persimmons with steel shafts.  Wanted to try a modern twist on a modern persimmon. 🙂

I often play Duo Softs.  There is a "soft" maxfli that I also like.  To be honest, I'm not too particular.  Pro V1s, Chromesofts, Supersofts, Bridgestone BRXS, all get played.

That's a reasonably attractive clubhead, I like the blonde finish.  🙂

 

Also like the idea of the graphite shaft.  Steel is getting harder and harder to find, makes sense to plug in something more easily sourced. 

 

I also admit to a bit of a bias, in that I'm largely switching to all graphite shafts in the non-putter slots in the bag.  Using steel wood shafts and graphite irons seems odd to me.  😉

Is this a classic club manufacturer? That things a beauty

[Swingingk]

Very nice indeed!  I love the whole concept of the modern take on a classic shape with current technology.  It's beautiful and has a unique "now" look to it.  I really like the simple unadorned look with minimum stampings too.  Well done.

 

Please post a pic of the entire club so we can see it in its entirety with the shaft and grip too!

No.  Modern guy making vintage sticks

[PhillipG78]

I might be interested in trying one of those

David is a golf pro/coach who also does vintage club restorations in addition to producing new persimmons based on classic designs.  This one is a copy of a MacGregor M09T.
