Yes, I remember the Eye-O-Matic. Along with the Hogan that had the speed-slot, I guess those two clubs are held up as icons for their age.

You mentioned the sound of the MacGregor driver and therein lies a story... Some weeks ago, I decided to check out different models of drivers in the Callaway line since they seem to please me more than other brands. I tried the ERC Fusion and regardless of its titanium face, the carbon fiber body seems to make it sound like an old persimmon club. It was kind of a shock to hear that, but a bunch of warm memories flooded back with each well struck shot.

There are a few articles in recent golf magazines about how important the SOUND of our shots is to our perception of how well we struck them. If you really like the sound of a wooden club, maybe something like the Fusion is for you.
