Need A 90's Size Driver

[patsfangr]

I'm getting back into the game after 12 years away from it. I sold my 1993 Big Bertha driver when I quit. Now, I'd like to get a replacement driver, but I nearly passed out when I saw both the size and the price of what they're selling these days!

I started playing just about the time when the "oversized" heads were coming in, back in the early 80's, and began with one of those "antiques" with a head no bigger than a baseball. When I finally gave in to the "huge" Big Bertha of 1994, it took some time to get used to it. But, seriously, I don't even want to TRY to used to those wall clock sized things they're putting on the end of shafts these days!

So, bottom line is that I'm looking to buy a driver that goes back to the ORIGINAL Big Bertha size of the early-mid 90's. I think that would be around 300 CC, as they describe them here; versus the 460 CC of these new wall clocks. A 9.5 degree would be my preference; but I'll go a 1/2 degree either way from that. (Doesn't have to be a BB; but I'd want a recognizable brand.) Obviously, I'd hope to find one in at least reasonable condition, despite it's age. Sort of a "soul mate", you could say! Also much like me, I wouldn't expect it to be worth much money, at this point. Depending upon condition, I'd say 1000 baht would be tops for such a club.

If anybody in the Pattaya area has such club you'd be willing to sell, please PM me, and we can arrange a meet.

Get yourself a 3 wood.

Once your confidence is back, try one of the new drivers. They go a lot further.

Thanks, John. My lack of patience got to me, and I took Lucifer's advice, and found a Big Bertha at the swap shop place in the Carrefour building. (Thanks for the tip, Lucifer!)

It probably cost me money. I paid 1800 for it, and might have gotten a better price from you. I haven't hit with it yet, but it appears to be what I want. It's a "Hawk Eye" model, with a 10 degree loft, and a firm flex shaft. I don't know where that model falls chronologically, compared to the one you have; but this looks to be in good condition. I suspect that the club will be of higher quality than the user!
