Oops, sorry I did not see that Leo’s email came in through Shop Talk – I did not mean to make this any type of shameless plug for our product as I just thought it was a private email from Leo and responded that way. Again, sorry about that because I respect the fact that Shop Talk messages shouldn’t consist of shameless commercial plugs for products. I’ll watch the FROM a little more closely in the future.

I did smile when I read your comment to say that your friend gets “unwell” when he sees the large size driver heads !! To be honest with you, I do not know of any companies that are making a smaller actual driver model, one that would be in the area of 350-400cc or smaller. At present the vast majority of golfers seem to still believe that “bigger is better” and so the golf companies are not yet ready to make smaller size driver heads to see if there could be any sort of significant demand. My only suggestion would be for you to look at our new model 919F/D heads that are just becoming available. This is a different clubhead which I designed for golfers to use as a club off the tee for control on very tight par 4 and par 5 holes. You can think of it as a very large 3-wood or as a very small driver head. We offer it in both an 11* and 14* loft, it has a bendable hosel so it can be adjusted to a wide range of lie angle and face angle fitting options and it has two weight bores so it can be built to a wide range of length from as long as 44” down to as short as 42”, depending on the weight of the shaft and grip. Size wise, in cc volume measurement, the 919F/D is a 240cc volume head. So compared to a typical 3 wood at 160cc or a typical 450-460cc driver, you can get a better feeling for its size. More information about the 919F/D can be seen through this link on our website - http://wishongolf.com/designs/drivers/new-919fd/ Thank you very much and I hope we could help to make your friend feel more “well” !!!

I would be quite happy if some of you could point me to a supplier of those. I assume they are still being made ? Thanks in advance, Leo Noordhizen - The Netherlands
