huge drive.....

I love his swing

Nice clip. He was one of the last hold-outs with the persimmon woods, along with Mark McCumber and Justin Leonard.

I have been playing for about 23 years and am about to buy my first metal driver. I had a set of Ben Hogan Persimmon Woods my dad gave me when I was 12. They have all broken as of last year. I have tried some old Ping persimmons and just cant hit them. I am reluctant, but its time to join the party.

@klank67 I imagine they would be. What is even better? Actually playing with them.

@reflectivegoat ... I still have a set of persimmons .... they're excellent to train with because of the weight and feeling you get at the bottom of the stroke ... try it, you'll like it ;)
