Hi Guys,
I recently donated a kidney and will be unable to play for the next 6 weeks weeks. However, to keep me busy, I am looking to purchase several old 400cc drivers to test once I am ready to play.
The reason why I am interested in 400cc drivers is that after spending years trying dozens of modern 460cc drivers unsuccessfuly, a few months ago I came across a Titleist 905s 8.5 grafalloy blue prolaunch stiff driver that revolutionized my game. The amazing thing is that the specs of that club should not be a good fit in theory. I am a 16 handicap (meaning I hit the ball all over the face), I deloft the driver and have a low launch angle and my SS is approx 95. Supposedly, the 905s with Graffaloy Blue is meant for high SS players that hit the ball square. The one thing that, in theory, suits my swing is that my miss is a pull, but this club corrects it because it tends to fade a touch.
For some unkown reason, I can square the face at impact much better with the smaller driver. Also, it seems to me (I am probably wrong) that since it is a low spin driver, when I mishit it, thr ball still remains relatively low spin.
I can happily play that driver for the rest of my life and be happy. However, for the fun of it, I am thinking of buying 2 or 3 more oldies and then testing them out against each other once I am given the green light by the doc.
Here are a few 400cc drivers that I am thinking of getting:
Cleveland Launcher 400 prolight shaft 10.5
TM 580 Graffaloy Blue 10.5
I welcome any other suggestions!
