It's showing less than $100 on the link I posted... says it's regular price is $299, which is what most clubs showcase. I think I'm going mostly for the look of the club. I just like the vintage look to it.

I agree that the vintage look to it is nice. I also was seeing just under $100 for the price. I suppose if you have cash and like it, it is your opinion that matters.

However, I would much rather pick up a Ping Eye 2 Persimmon and possibly refinish it.

Would rather have the real thing than that knock off. My guess is for performance is not as good as the new metal drivers and maybe would not out perform the true wood drivers. Anybody can put a higher price on something then mark it down for sale. In my experience cheap clubs perform like cheap clubs.

Jeez....how much does a 460cc wood clubhead weigh?

Probably feels like swinging a boot on a stick.

If you need a good wood driver, go to louisville golf. Or grab a macgregor or wilson wood.

You'll be looking for a long time to find a PING made from persimmon.

RE the OP's question: I'd rather put a real vintage driver in the bag than a look alike (especially one > 2x the size of a vintage driver) since it may look funny as it started to show signs of wear. Like laminate flooring looks when scratched - hey that's not wood!!
