Your first "good" driver
My first "real" driver was a Taylormade Tour Preferred ca 1989, 12 degree (strictly called a "tour brassie")but I hit it well.
My first proper driver loft was a Mizuno TP/15 Hot Metal at 9.5°in about 1991, this kind of matched my Mizuno MS-1 irons of the time but it was X100 steel shafted and although you could land it on a bath towel it went maybe 240 if I really bust it.
I didn't really play much between 92 and 96, so stuck with the Mizuno set up. Then I got a full set for my 21st birthday (1996) which was Lynx Parallax and the "Boom Boom" Driver and 3 wood (I still have the 3 wood head somewhere).
A few years later (1999?) I started my dalliances with "high tech" cutting edge gear with the TM Ti Burner Bubble, 7.5° with the TX-100 shaft. I suppose that was my first "good" driver as it was an order of magnitude better than the Lynx, maybe 75-100cc bigger and I reckon at least 20 yards longer ( I was hitting drives around the 270 mark with it when I really caught hold of it) and much more accurate.
Young punk here I guess, but my real first "good" driver was a KZG PFT 300 with an AJ tech shaft in it, all candy apple red. She was a beauty and the distance was absolutely INSANE compared to the Zevo it replaced. I took it out and litterally drove the ball over the first par 4 I got to play with it. I had never been closer than 30 yards away, talk about a helluva first impression!
Now she's about the size of a 3 wood haha.
Coppertop, I had a Tour Brassie too... used to KILL that thing off the tee. I used to only hit a 3 wood off the tee, could never hit driver until I picked up a Wilson Whale graphite headed driver from the Wilson rep.
I'll ahve to look when I get home but I think I still have the first gen taylormade metal wood driver in the basement with my Karsten 1 itons and wooden woods.
DC... you ever try the gripless AJtech driver shaft?
I had one of the Taylor Made Pittsburgh Persimmon drivers. I hit it well but never really liked it because it sounded different than the wooden drivers I had been using. I sold it for less than I paid for it about 3 weeks after buying it.
PA-PLAYA Good memory! That was a good lesson that's taken a long while to learn. (Not to hold onto an inside story. Me and Lefty we've played some golf together... Hah! Lots! He got tired of my for shit tee game and after a round we went to the range. Long story short, he taught be to be satisfied with the results of a good turn and 3/4 turn. It's golden if you can do it!

Instead of giving shit away to strangers, like PIAS, you should give it away to us/me. 
You're impatient and money means more to me that throwing it away.
Funny how nobody busts my balls when I donate clubs to First Tee and local high schools. Seems I ought to be able to dispose of my stuff any way I choose.
