Adams Redline might be the best driver ever.

Speedline series kicked arse too.

Adams made great stuff, older model tightlies fairway woods were awesome.



Pure Nitro.

Only remember the brand, not model number. Old Yamaha driver.

Also, had Adams but it was stolen

There have been 5 or 6 driver posted that I forgot I even had.

The Titleist 975 was the hot driver when I started playing. My parents had just gotten divorced and my mom was busting her arse working and I wanted one of those, but we couldn't afford it at the time. She still made sure I had a nice set though but I forget what I was using at the time.

I had a good buddy of mine that was super rich that I played with all the time and he had one. But he never beat me a single time, so I didn't need one

Is there a golfer alive that played in the late 90’s early 00’s DIDN’T own the Titleist 975D?

Seriously go find any golfer over the age of 40 and I bet they’ve got that thing in their garage

Bit of a similar story. Learned to play on Dad's Wilson Sam Sneeds.

Met my wife in college. She told me I'd get new sticks when I graduated. But I was starting grad school and we were poor.

She said I'd get new sticks when I finished my PhD, but we just had our first kid and we were poor.

She said I'd get new sticks when I landed my first job after my postdoc, but we had to move, she was in the job market, and we were poor.

She worked for a multinational. So I waited until she was overseas and bought a brand spanking new set of Calloway X22s and an FT9.

Then the kids started youth sports and I didn't play for something like 5 years.

Once I'm too old to hit it more than 250, I'll probably get to play.

great story .

My first irons were straight-up Ping Eyes from my Dad. I had no choice but to game them all through high school. I even hit these through most of my time at LSU. They were ancient but pretty great clubs.


I hit these up until about 2002

Mizuno MX-500 was awesome. The sound the Carbon fiber top made took a little getting used to.

I don’t have a pic since I got rid of it, but I had a “great big brother”. Knockoff of the Great Big Bertha. Put it together with a used shaft at a friends golf shop when I worked there as a joke. Loved that thing! It was straight up knock off from China in the 90’s. I played it for at least 2 years.
