Ha, ya'll ain't seen nuthin' yet. I tried looking for a photo of it, it's hard to tell which heads are the original. I can only guess this was a harbinger of the Big Bertha's to come?

What Jumbo Ozaki was using is what Jack Nicklaus and Raymond Floyd are also now using: a mysterious magical driver with a graphite shaft and a metal head. In the high-tech talk of this 54th Masters tournament, golfers call it a Jumbo Driver for the Japanese touring pro who works for the Japanese manufacturer, Bridgestone.

I actually lived in Japan at that time and had one of these.  It was good, and long, but I was too inconsistent with it and I eventually went back to my old wooden Ping Zing driver.
