anyone still use Wood Persimmoned Golf Clubs? I have a Hogan 4 Wood that I got in 1970, and I can hit it 250 yards, accurate too.

Eventually, I'll get the hint and stop advertising, which is against the rules.

I have an old spalding persimmon that I take to the range occasionally. When you catch it good it feels sweet and goes just as far as my bertha, but its not as forgiving on mishits. Awesome sound too and its pretty easy to take off the deck.

Wedges: X-Forged 50, 54 & 58

hear this song occasionally when i crack my persimmon driver (has to have misty conditions)

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

I don't play with them anymore, but I still have 5-6 persimmon drivers. I have some Toney Pennas, Jack Nicklaus MacGregors, and a Ben Crenshaw Cleveland driver. They still look sweet.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
