Wood Persimmoned Golf Clubs

[Scott_Tee]

Anybody still use them? I have a Hogan 4W that I hit 250 Yds with great control. It has great feel too. Do they still even sell Wood Clubs anymore?

BTW, the Hogan 4W is over 35 Years old !

I have set of Wilson Staff Tour Block woods that I have been experimenting with at the range and using for practice. I am thinking about putting them in play this season. The difference is about 15-20 yards in length, but am able to control my shots better (more fairways).

I have read recently that Tiger practices with persimmon woods.

I have read recently that Tiger practices with persimmon woods.

His blades are basically old Wilsons...

Louisville Golf still specializes in persimmon clubs. I haven't hit the fairway woods, but a pal of mine bough a wooden faced putter from them that feels pretty nice.

saw an ad in a UK golf magazine for these bad boys:

i'm looking for a Ping Zing Blonde finish 3/4/5 wood at the moment - seen some on eBay.

I use a ping eye2 3 wood and i have hit the club 280 yards right the middle of the fairway and i didn't put in my bag till late September but since then i have hit on average 3/4 of the fairways with it.

Just found some of my grandpas old clubs, and I took an old "haig ultra" 7 iron, and a jackie pung 1 wood, which apparently is a ladies 1 wood, so that must be my grandmas. I plan on trying them out at the driving range, especially the 7 iron, it's face looks as big as a golf ball and is a muscle back, so it should be fun :)

BTW, I love the look of those old muscle backs. They look so pure (idk what word I am looking for) but if I could hit those baby's clean every time, I would use them.

Not persimmon but I still use the Ping Zing laminated maple (blond) 1,3,5.

I think that's why professionals still use blades. They do hit it on the button every time and that button always responds the same way.

Perimeter weighted clubs are for those of us that don't hit it on the button. I believe Pings have a "super" sweet spot. There's no other explanation for how far my ball goes occasionally.
