i dont see an issue with playing and being recommended older drivers? What is the point of your post?

I never said technology was bad or against it, just wanted to try out some older tech stuff and want some recommendations of people who have favorites.

Yeah, I was just messing' with ya. It's all good my friend. Not too old, but I can tell you I really liked the Ping G20 driver. I wore it out good. Probably would've kept it longer but I accidentally snapped it getting it into my silly car trunk which was too small.

I can completely understand the "small head" idea. A buddy of mine absolutely cannot stand the "grapefruit on a broomstick" look of today's Drivers! I've told him that there are mini-Drivers, but you can't find them in our local golf shops. I guess you have to go online. He'd prefer something just slightly larger than his 3 wood, which is what he tees off with now.

Until recently*, a 2004 Big Bertha Titanium was my baby for many, many years (10+). 360cc clubhead, great feel, easy to swing fast and hit far. It always seemed like the "harder" I swung, the more she rewarded me. I tried a couple larger drivers through the years, but always made my way back to Bertha. No half sizes, though, you'd have to settle for a 10o or 11o.

* Coincidentally, and oddly enough, I just gave her to my son about a month ago after receiving a TaylorMade AeroBurner for my b-day...and I'm never going back. :whistle:

Here's a couple from Callaway which you might like. Only drawback: both are 460 cc heads; otherwise they fit your critical items.

RazrX Black* (circa 2012) - 10.5*, composite head, D5 | Fuji Motore F8 stock shaft, 46" |
  Face angle -  8.5*, 9.5* = 1* open // 10.5* = square // 13.5* = closed.
 *non-adjustable brother of RazrFit ... early high launch, low spin offering.

HyperX Tour  (circa 2008) -10.5*, D5, square face // 68 gr. Fuji Fit-On 360 shaft as stock, 45.5" (Circa 2008).   Hot, mid-level trajectory; used it in R-flex for four seasons.

Focus, connect and follow through!

so many options! I might have to buy them all! I got a used club store locally and can pick up any one of these drivers for 10-30 bucks

You can have my old TaylorMade Burner Bubble driver. It's in very good condition, though it's a 9.5deg with a stiff shaft. You can have the matching 3 & 5 too.

I actually liked the Taylormade 360 driver. I thought it was big at the time. 

I'm a little biased... But the original Exotics Tour Proto driver from Tour Edge fits your specs a bit. I'm not sure if it came in 10.5° but most early Exotics drivers came with lofts in 9°, 10.5°, and 12°. 

Also the Nike Ignite 380 was a good driver with the right shaft in it... I actually had one in my "mutt" set.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
