ShopTalk: Re: Driver for the 'ole Man

[ddpn]

THANKS!!!  -  to all of you who provided suggestions (on & off list) to 
make sure I'd stay in the 'ole Man's will.

I went Wishon all the way, although I was tempted by a couple of other brands.

	To wit:	=  915CFE 360cc 10.5* hand selected to a minimum +1* extra loft 
($2.50 extra)
		=  ZT-R High Wood shaft (BTW- It's a catalog misprint that states
		     an A-flex tip on a R-flex butt; it's supposedly a soft-R everywhere)

As a Tool & Die man, the 'ole Fart just wanted to swing some Titanium off 
the tee, so I had to steer away from the steel options.  360cc is about the 
max I really wanted to go for him knowing how much he hated to give in and 
go to something "big".  Although I haven't seen an actual sample just yet, 
I like the concept on the Nightfire that utilizes a bit of profile magic to 
make it look a tad smaller.  Although for the prospective customer under 
discussion, I wasn't sure he was compatible with the Nightfire's 58* 
lie.  I also dismissed the 915CFE High Launch at 14* as this came at the 
penalty of a slightly shorter face height.  Another 14* option, the 
PureFit, I have actually tried at a nearby PCS Class "A" fellow's range and 
have to say that kind of loft can cure a lot of ills. However, I just don't 
think the 'ole Man's ready to swallow that pill just yet...

..maybe next month(!)

Thanks again guys!!
