Mellow Yellow driver...a blast from the past

rsvman

Walked into a play it again sports and among the usual suspects there was a MY 420 in 12 degree loft, with a Prolaunch Blue and a Winn grip. Head was a little scratched up. No pattern at all to the marks on the face....must've been owned by a real hack.
Anyway, they were asking $20. I was surely tempted.
If you saw that, would you pay the twenty, offer fifteen, or just walk away and be happy you didn't buy it?

rsvman just walk away and be happy you didn't buy it

For that particular one anyway.

I'd take a 12 or 14* in better shape though

If a 12* fit my game, I'd have bought it. Would have offered $15, as you thought to, but would have paid the $20. Not much diff in heads the last several years; at least not for me.

Walk away and be happy. That wasn't one of the greats anyway. Beat up and 15 years old, nah.

I had one of those! I hit one of the two 300 yard drives I've ever hit with that club. But I sold it long ago.

I had one when they first came out, with a yellow shaft to boot.....

Both my wife and I had one with a yellow shaft, also had a 3 wood and 5 wood with the same Harrison yellow shafts. Actually I still have mine but have not put it in play in some years. The BangOMatic knocked it out of the bag.

I have a BangOMatic in my garage, as well. Currently gaming a Wishon driver.

Still thinking about offering $15, though, just to give it a go and see whether it suits me. I never got a chance to try one of these back in the day. My first Bang driver was the BangOMatic.

I have a 9* with MY head cover that's probably a 9 on the rating scale. Anybody interested,? 30 shipped.

I been playing the same driver for 3 yrs now.
Sold a lot, a lot more stuck in the back corner of the closet. Looking for that frickin wedge that behaves now.

Moeman I been playing the same driver for 3 yrs now.

Exactly how does one do that?

Found 1 that works... I still give tryouts.... Couple trips to the range.... Then they go in the closet....
Well, I been playing the same head. Had about 6 shafts in the thing. But nothing has changed for at least a year.

GimC

Probably would have bought it.

BTW, great to see you, rsvman. 🙂

No offense intended, but it's one ugly driver.

I probably would have given it a try because I never trued one when they were new. I currently play a Wishon 949MC which has to be about 10 years old, maybe more. I remember it was out when the original Nike square came out. As long and forgiving as anything I've hit since.
I remember when the Nike came out with the square and it's 5000 moi ,and how that was such a big deal. My Ostrich measured a bunch of heads and the 949 was something like 4900.
Do they even still measure new drivers for moi anymore? Would be interesting to see where they're at.
