Lynx Boom Boom driver

[Guillaume]

Yesterday I found a driver 's head abandoned on a range carpet. It 's a Boom Boom parallax 11° in very good condition, like new.

I think it's from the 80 's but can 't find a lot about on the net. Well, there 's a fine old commercial with fred couples on utube, funny to watch.

Now i 'm wondering what kind of shaft should I mount on this head. The OG shaft was a graphite as it remains in the hosel.

But I 'd like to put a steel shaft on it, as it was the most in the 80's.

I think DG S300 is the right choice and I own one or two in my garage, together with unused 80 's golf pride grips which will do well.

I 'll then give it a go for a  practice round, as often with all my old fashioned clubs. My golf friends are always waiting for me to put in play "new" vintage clubs...

I assume the "Boom Boom" name is about Couples nickname, but was he really playing the club during his career ?

Does any of you know this club or had played it in the years?

Yes Freddy did hit that club and it was out in the early 90's I remember seeing him in person at the tour championship at the Olympic club with that driver either in 92' or 93' so it's made probably more for the graphite shaft.

Thanks for those clarifications. Then it 's more from the 90 's. In the very funny commercial I recommend to watch it 's said it 's the first time Freddy put a metal driver in play. So I think he made the switch later than other players of this time. A golf ball' s nigntmare as they say!

However the shaft he plays in the ad is of steel...

Freddie won the Masters in 92 playing Lynx irons and a persimmon Macgregor driver. Later in 92  is when the Boom Boom came out. It was supposedly designed to give him the workability he had with the old Mac. It does play in many respects similar to a wood club, the head not being much larger. It was available in both graphite and with the DG300. I have one that I bought new in 92 with the DG S300 in 11*.
