I was talking with a 19 year old lad in work the other day, who is a golfer and was discussing the old persimmon woods.
I said I remember when the massive headed drivers first came on the market with humungous heads on them. I had a Hippo at the time.
Now were they massive or just massive compared to the wooden drivers that came before them? I know there are limits to size in terms of CC (475CC ????), but was there at the time and were some of them even over 500CC, or am I just dreaming? Possibly some of them were illegal, or it was only with the advent of the big clubs that the R & A cracked down on their size, possibly.
How big was yours back in the day........
