   I would be keen to see you hit your $9 driver up against a new mini bertha. I reckon I know which one would come out on top.

   I’ve just upgraded from Titliest 910 fairways (15,19,21) to 913 fairways with a better spread of lofts (13.5,17,21). I nicknamed the 13.5 my mini driver from day 1.

   So what Callaway did was take one of there 20 year old S2H2 drivers and add a little paint? And since I’ve been playing a S2H2 Big Bertha for years I guess that instead of playing “vintage” I have actually been playing “cutting edge” technology that I bought off ebay for $9. I never did see the appeal in the “big as a bass boat” drivers, can’t control them worth a damn, really drag in your swing, and can’t hit them off the fairway.

   The one thing I would like to see in a small driver this club still doesn’t have- an adjustable weight port in the rear center of the sole. Also- bring back the steel shaft option, nothing like having to reshaft a new club with a $10 shaft because its simply not an option.

   Are the manufacturers pulling out every stop in the bag to keep people buying new clubs? Shrinking drivers, driving irons, and now 2W. I feel for the people running the golf companies. They’ve got a tremendous task ahead of them figuring out how to keep the sales going.

   This company copied that company blah blah blah. It’s really just a 2 wood and they’ve been around 100 years. A modern 2 wood.
   We’ve just been so caught up with our bowling ball sized drivers the last 15 years that everybody forgot about poor old Mr. 2 wood!!

   So it’s bigger than a fairway wood, but smaller than a driver. Would that make this a 2W ??

   Even if Wishon did it “first”. He is almost irrelevant at producing clubs. I have seen lots of rare clubs. But have never seen a club from Wishon ever. So I would say that Callaway still started the trend. The original 3 deep was only 10 yards shorter then my driver. And was longer into the wind.

    As long as golf equipment and course fees keep high then golf will continue to lose players and that my friend will hurt as golf will fde away for the middle class and poor and only the rich will play.

      Well Mike I don’t know how long you’ve been playing golf but I’ve been playing for 20 years and I can tell you over that space in time green fees have hardly gone up, and except for balls equipment is actually cheaper. So I’m afraid that’s not the cause for the decline in participation.

        $400.00 FOR A DRIVER IS CHEAP?Maybe for you but for most people that is rent,house payment for a month etc.So maybe you can afford it and happy you can but as for me and about 30-40% of the people who play its outrageous.

          In the late 60’s, working at a Baskin Robbins, they charged 18 cents for a single scoop; today that single scoop is $2.80.

          I can’t afford to go to a B-R, not that I would.

          At the same time, you can get a 2 yr old driver brand new for a little over $100. If you want the new stuff, get one of those no interest credit cards for 16 months.

          Well Mike, you’re just preaching to the choir. It’s always been that way – a richer man’s hobby game. Nothing’s changed. There are plenty of other sports you can play for cheap – so go do those.

      Slow play kills golf. That’s the bottom line.

    Taylor Made setting a trend? Didn’t Callaway release the X Hot 3 Deep before any Mini drivers from TM?

      Cobra came out with the Long Tom 2 wood before Taylormade’s mini drivers …
      45″ shaft 12.5 degrees I think it was 245 cc

        And Tom Wishon came out with the 525F/D around 2007. All others have just just copied him.

      Thank you!! I never recall TM setting ant trend except for the driver dept. Everything else they make is a day late and a dollar short and double the price.
