Longest drivers

I was reminiscing about all of the drivers I've hit over the years and there have been so many. Thought it would be interesting to list which ones were the l...

Taki27 Why is it that all my favorite drivers were from when I was 25?

Hmmmm....could it be young, strong and flexible.....Nah. 🤣

DC300

6.5* BOM with Assassin shaft at full Ld 50”, got a couple over 400 with it and ideal conditions. Oh what fun it was, now I cannot find that true LD swing. Still get decent drives, but no where near the good years.

I had the SS350 and I loved that thing. Hit some really long drives with it.

You mean like this one !!

Eguller

yes sir! I think mine was a 9* though. With a GD YS6 shaft all black (if I remember right).

I used to have an SS350 Offset. One of my favorite ever.

This one currently has a Graf. Powerlite X in it at 7.5*. Haven't hit it in a loooong time.

Dan, that Powerlite had very thin walls. I had one in x flex and snapped it on the downswing.

OK, here's a component head that goes way back in time and most probably won't remember it. When I first started building my own clubs, I put together a Mercury Humongous head (9.5*?) with a Mercury stiff shaft. That was an incredibly long combo. Almost forgot about it since that was over 20+ years ago. There were so many great component heads back in the day and it was a fun time to experiment. Definitely miss those days...

gllama Stop it! you're making my brain ache. 😂 Made me think back to the first drivers I had that weren't wood. Had an Impex 300cc? on a Grafalloy ProLite shaft that was looong, when it didn't slice into the next county because of those damn shafts. It was a Hireko head that was a clone of the Deep Red. Then, of course, there was the Deep Red, with those goofy whip shafts, that were also extremely long hitting clubs. Just remembered I still have one....

One of my favorite heads (in 7°) with a 50" long drive shaft (I can't remember the name but it was purple and had a name like Longfellow or Long Tom something like that). It was kind of hard to control but if you had the patience to wait for the head and not get your hands in front, it really worked.

In no particular order. TourSwing Pure Ice 105 deg. 400cc. I've forgotten what TS shaft I had in it. Gave it to a former friend never to see it again. I never understood why Tim dropped that head from the line back then.

Golfsmith Hi-COR Plus 11.5 deg. 400cc on a SK Fiber Pure Energy.

Alpha Ver. 2 10.5 deg. 400cc on a Alpha Platinum shaft.

I didn't notice this before but all 3 are 400cc heads.

KCee

scotts33 I built that same GS Hi-COR combo for my dad years ago and he loved it. I thought is was great too if slowed my tempo I could kill that thing lol.

mulegolf Longwood shaft perhaps??

gllama Need to add the Black/White Lightning to the list.

I had a 12° White Lightning with a Pro Force XL shaft that was money. It was stupid easy to hit it long. I regularly hit 300 with that combo.

In addition to the two above, if I go back farther, I had two great clubs. The first was a knockoff of the Callaway Gret Big Bertha. It was stainless steel an 240cc. The shaft was a new (at the time) shaft that supposedly had two flex points. I think they were from Pro Swing Golf. I hit my longest drive ever (324 yds.) at a 3 man tournament. The other, again I can't remember the name but it was a knockoff of a Yonex ADX 200 (all graphite) head and a no name graphite shaft. Regularly over 300 yards with that combo. I had a 3 wood the same that I could hit 270 yards.

Long Duck Dong?

Par4QC mulegolf Longwood shaft perhaps??

Believe that's it. Thanks.

The Bangenstein. I think it had a Limey shaft in it so It looked awesome too, and I hit a ton and so did everyone I let try it out. Never really knew where the ball was going (which was obviously my fault), but wherever it was going it was going a long, long way. Cooler heads prevailed and I let it go for something I could control, but man that club was fun to hit.
