Known for its classic appearance, this design has won countless tournaments in the hands of golf's luminaries - Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson and even Tiger Woods. The Classic 50's series are recommended for golfers who want to play a steel shaft. The solid red insert in the Classic 50s Persimmon Woods is a phenolic linen fiber that is handmade.

“This classic, pear-shaped Persimmon driver and fairway wood design has more wins under its belt than any other design in the history of golf. All of the game’s legends used this timeless design with great effect; Hogan, Snead, Palmer and Nicklaus have all used this shape to amass countless victories to name only four. You could add Fred Couples, Davis Love III, Justin Leonard and even Tiger Woods to this list as this design has never needed many tweaks. You haven’t experienced golf fully unless you have played with these Persimmon woods.”

Persimmon drivers have tighter dispersion and thus are more accurate than titanium metal drivers.
