I never said I can't hit a "modern" driver, I said I seem to hit persimon truer! Not an April fools, we don't have that in New Zealand in a big way. Yes I hit it out of the screws, we call it flushing the ball down here.

Yeh, some good info. It would be interesting to make irons with a bulge for average/new Golfers to make the game easier for them to play, if the R and A allows?. Who was the last top player to stop using Persimon woods? Anyone still on tour using them? After using them recently, and as a good player who has neglected Persimon for some time I can't help but think we have all been sucked into the "technology" marketing by club companies.

Thankyou very much for your time and great comments, I appreciate it. Kind regards And happy golfing.

I haven't used persimon woods for years since I was a junior, and basicly have discounted them as a thing of the past. I have purchased a mint set of Mizuno Jonny Millar Professional blades, and they included the matching Driver, 3 wood, and 4 wood, they are J-Spec and have never been used (lucky). I was having a practice session today and poped them in the bag for a bit of a reminisce on old times, and I was amazed at how straight and true the ball flight was, without blowing my own trumpet I am a flusher and hit the ball out of the screws, but it seemed to me that a bad swing made with a modern graphite large headed driver, magnifies the error, and the wooden club stays on the same line without curving too much, and the ball flight is beautifull I could hit them for hours!! Is it because of the wooden material, the size of the head or the steel shaft, or the combination. Is there any drivers on the market that are more compact? Thanks golfers!!

Hi, Can some past or present Tour players help me with regard to a training programme for improvement, I am playing off a 1.8 and would like to look at what percentage of time spent practicing is spent on putting, short game, wedges, bunker, long irons, mid irons, meditation, yoga etc..... I want to take my game to the next level. Thanks for reading, and I look foward to some good advice. Happy golfing!
