Your first "good" driver

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 s...

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?

Typhoon Nope, never realized there was such a thing.

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. 😁

I always offer it for sale here and nobody bites. I was waiting for offers on my last sale and all I got was crickets. Easier to haul it over to PIAS.

And give it away.

LBlack14

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.

sdandrea1

No, u have to give it away to us for free and pay shipping....because u love us.

No worries. I'm in Florida. I'm just returning the shit Typhoon has been slinging. All in fun. Keep healing Nephew!

I wanted, so bad, for Pay to be in the 1st tee program, but she wouldn't have it. I still wish. :-(

Got a feeling somehow that you'll love her just as much, and you'll never hug her less. 😎

Just me.

975D! I loved that thing

livegolf Just saw a used one at Golf Galaxy and it brought back memories. The 1st driver I could hit in my own fairway.

I always liked the way Titleist drivers sounded and felt at impact. If they had ventured into the offset market, I'd probably own one, but Cobra won me over.
