Forum Thread of the Day: “Best looking driver of all time?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from JD3 who has asked WRXers for their opinion on what is the best looking driver of all time. Plenty of our members have gotten involved in the discussion, with a multitude of models getting plenty of praise for their appearance.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Philomathesq: “Maybe it is recency bias, but I love the look of the PXG 0811 Gen 2 drivers. I love the smooth look, matte finish, and understated “X” on the crown.”
- miket_81: “From the top is really all I care about. It’s hard to get much better that the matte black Cobra LTD Black. The only thing I think might have rivaled it is when I painted a R11 Dot JD Blitz Black. It was a thing of beauty. Not sure why I ever sold it.”
- chinaski: “Nothing comes even remotely close to persimmon. But for modern drivers, Titleist is usually best looking.”
- Ghostwedge: “The modern classic… looking down at turbulators and dragon fly tech. The unsurpassed PING G 400.”
- evoviiiyou: “The latest black Mizzy 190 series has to be up there…I love mine, and the look can only be improved when they launch the matte black version.”

I agree with Chinaski. Persimmon drivers were the best looking drivers of all time, if they were made by Jack Wullkotte. 🙂

Cleveland Classic Persimmon. Interesting that few if any old style persimmons are on anyone’s lists. Guess they couldn’t hit’em, so they didn’t like’em. But I guess when you look down and see the size of a 3 wood head it’s hard to fathom that it’s a driver.

For those that remember persimmon, the Mcgregor 945 was a beauty. As far as metal woods, the original Titleist 975D was hard to beat

For sure it is a tie between the Mizuno 201 ST 190 and the Titleist TS series. Both share the same classic pear shape. For the record, the old Taylor Made Super Quad runs a close 2nd–pear shape, deep face.

2017 M1 460. Love the asymmetrical look on the bottom and the beautiful proportion and angle alignment of the shiny black and white for the crown.

The Persimmon Cleveland Classic TC15 get’s my vote! I had the 3w and 5w as well! Pure craftsmanship!

Cleveland Classic TC15 Persimmon… especially the blonde version that I had! When Tom Lehman broke out the blondie version at the
1994 Tour Championship at The Olympic Club, I just about lost my mind! I have that driver, I have that driver, I have…….so cool to see
him cut a soft fade off the 1st tee.

The desert camo Cobra F8 has to be one of the coolest looking drivers ever made.

The Titleist 917 or 1 most of you have never seen, The Honma 737 440 is as close the look of old persimmon as their is on the market.
