A good friend of mine played with this club for about a dozen years back in the 90's/early 00's --



It was called the Power Pod Driver by Orizaba.

He and I played at least once a week. His accuracy AND DISTANCE were amazing with this club. It was probably his best club in the bag. Every time we played with another two-some, they would be amazed at the club. Many people asked him if he made it himself.

I remember the day it broke -- well, actually sort of exploded into dozens of pieces. I thought he was going to cry - he might have. I was using one of the "latest and greatest" (and most expensive) drivers at the time and I let him use it for the rest of the round. His accuracy and distance suffered.

I tried to hit the club a few times but could barely make contact. It's hard to tell by the picture above, but the club head wasn't much bigger than the ball. You REALLY had to concentrate to even hit the damn thing. I believe the original purpose of the club was as a training tool. But, he used it for years as his primary driver and he was about a 5 handicap.
