I have yearned to go back to persimmon. I have a Wood Bros., and a couple Joe Powell drivers as well as 3 and 4 woods. They felt so good and seemed to find the fairway much more regularly with the gear effect built into them.
I am wondering though, if I use them, do I have to be mindful of type of golf ball so as not to damage the face? Is there anything out there at all similar to balata?
On the other hand, I am 63 and don't swing it 100 mph anymore.
