Rep Power: 0  | Persimmons Who still has their old persimmons? I've still got my set of Hogan Apex woods 1,3,4,5. Took them out to the local muni a few weeks back for a lark. Love the sound, but new technology is so much better....about 15 to 20 yds if not more in some cases. The sound is so much sweeter though! |

Rep Power: 10  | You're saying that the sound is sweeter on the old technology or the new technology? I can tell you that I've never heard a sweeter sound in my life than when I hit my G2 driver perfectly. Mind you that's not very often but that one time it happens it makes the whole day for me. 300+ yards, dead straight, and the awe of the crowd not because its a phenomenal drive, but because they're surprised that I hit it. lol |

Rep Power: 0 | SWFlaGolfer, you haven't heard a sweeter sound because you haven't hit a solid persimmon club on the screws in a long time. Vinny is right, you lose a good amount of distance but the sound, and I think the feel of persimmon is much better. Its like a the crack of a wood baseball bat compared to an aluminum bat. I have a Louisville Golf Smart driver with a regular flex graphite shaft. http://www.louisvillegolf.com/index....5b9ca590d14c1b I didn't use it at all last season, but I might put it back in my pag this year because I can hit it down the middle more often than my Callaway. I definitely lose distance, but I usually use my 3 wood off of the tee anyway. Gateway has seen me hit my maple laminate 5 wood. That is my money club. |

Rep Power: 10 | I've never hit a Persimmon club. Are you saying I need to go out and spend more money to get one? Man this sport is expensive!  |

they practically give them away, but you could also try an old taylor made burner plus. It's like hitting a ball with another slightly bigger ball. | |
