OK, it's what I learned to play on back in the late 60's but I haven't hit one in 25 years. I was on Ebay today and there are quite a few nice collector items there as well as some that are "ready to play".
As the old saying goes, a well struck drive "right on the screws" is a feeling that can't be duplicated. I think that while these clubs were pretty unforgiving because of their size and small sweet spot, they could still produce pretty good results. I would guess that their size was in the 250-300cc range.
And let's not forget some of the problems that developed early on like screws backing out of the face plate or the bottom plate, or the string unraveling from the hosel, etc.
Wouldn't it be great to see a special tournament for the pros and have all of them use vintage clubs?
