Started playing in the late 80's, then around 1991 I picked up my first named-brand driver, secondhand of course. It was a Yonex ADX 200, which at the time seemed oversized! lol

I remember the muted (albeit solid) sound at impact... back in those days I was getting about 15 more mph of club head speed on the ball. This was my gamer driver for roughly 2-3 seasons, before upgrading to the newer Callaway Titanium Warbird.

This was the first real performer for me... the one that just seemed to get the ball out there straighter and further than anything else I'd ever tried up until then.

Any of you guys ever game this one?

Bought a set new, had to return them after 3 months. The early composite just could not stand up to the pounding.
Severely beat up and had small pits on the face from hitting tee and/or golf ball.
They took it back without asking questions.

    Yeah, the pits on the face were commonplace. But I just assumed that was normal and kept playing it for a few more years, never the wiser. LOL

        That 5 wood in the set was super.
        That's when I could not hit a 2 iron off the deck well back then

          I'd say it was the Maltby ct250, 1st version and then the FC

          Yup, I had one. I think it had a longer shaft...maybe 48"? I think Michelson played one.

          Orlimar Trimetal 9 degree driver. Great driver for me, plus I had 2 of the fairway metals as well.

          This was before I met him and then he sold all his whipping last year. Not much of a call for that service anymore.
          He still most stuff the old fashioned way but his work is first class

                johnnyjava Taylor Made 320ti. Loved that thing.

                Same for me, loved mine with the ProForce purple/yellow shaft

                  My parents paid $80 for one of these for my 25th birthday and I still have it to this day. I used to pound this thing!

                  Had to edit, that should've said 25th Birthday (1990).

                  Didn't start playing golf till 2004, so I did not use many of the old "gems"'you guys have noted.
                  For me, it was the Titleist 975D. Still hangs in my garage like it is bat that belongs in the baseball hall of fame. It was quite a legendary stick for me.

                    Bingo baby. Couldn't believe it, scrolled down and bingo. Got back into golf after a 20 year break in 2000 and the Cobra SS350 offset got me hooked on Cobra. I think my first driver back in 2000 was a blue headed Adams, but the Cobra SS350 offset came out shortly after that if I remember correctly and I've been a Cobra driver guy ever since.

                        I can tell he is good with the trade from the video. And thank him for allowing me to get a little whipping line from him and the home made tool for threading.
                        Another one around here with more than 40 years of experience was talking of retiring but he might be delayed by popular demand from all his clients. This is after one other retired from the biz. with more than 50 years of experience due to health issue.
                        Wish him well.

                          Bought a second hand low lofted Tri-Metal when I was just starting golf seriously. I hit it long and got lots of roll but was erratic. I bought an Integra SV3 square driver with an iDrive shaft and it was money until the head cracked. I've been searching for the best one since then.
