Does anyone remember the Bridgestone driver known as \”J\’s Professional Weapon?\”

I mentioned about eight months back, IIRC, and asked whether Golfworks/Maltby offered what I called then a \”front weighted driver.\” I managed to snag a new and unplayed one one of the originals–not what I recall as the Maltby knockoff–off ebay about five months back.  Pretty much new other\’n a few scrapes off the shaft paint. 10.5 loft and it still carries the original protection plastic on the bottom.  If I remember to do it when I finally do hit it, I will try to film/video taking that sticker off.

[LOL! Or maybe I\’m so good I still won\’t have to if I play it off a tee?  Uh…no. Not likely]

The front weighted driver I referred to then, is what I\’m pretty sure even now was a Maltby knockoff of that very same J\’s driver.  Slightly bigger head than the original on the knockoff and I fitted it with a shaft a full 1 1/2\” longer than standard then, but it would still be quite legal today at 44 1/2.\”

I could give you a \”golf story\” about the longest and straightest drive I ever hit, but I won\’t, except to say it was with that knockoff of the original.  And the best clubs I have today aren\’t even close.

That driver was characterized then as a small headed (about the size of today\’s seven wood, but still with a big face area, I think), front weighted and high faced club, and it wasn\’t all that easy to hit, IIRC.  But if you did smack it, it just rolled and rolled and rolled.

Is that concept even worth mention today?  Front weighted, thick faced and with a relatively high C.G.?  The knockoff does have a weight screw too, roughly in the center of the clubhead, but IIRC I never added anything to it.  I suppose I\’ll have to back and swingweight it, in fact, to be even a little bit sure.
