The standard shaft is a 58-gram Aldila graphite model and the stock grip is a Winn G8 AVS. Draw bias is available in lofts of 9°, 10.5°, 12°, and 14°. Neutral bias heads are offered in 9° and 10.5° versions.

There’s also an internal bias weighting system that allows them to offer the driver in both draw- and neutral-bias versions. But maybe best of all, that lucky horseshoe Citation logo is back on the sole. Lighter and stronger than traditional forged titanium, H&B says the material allows them to achieve maximum moment of inertia and coefficient of restitution ratings. It’s a 460cc titanium clubhead with something called an “SP-700 Beta Ti” cup face. Still, it carries the kind of technology expected in today’s performance enhancing clubs. Now, after 15 years, Zoeller is back with another orange bag to promote the Louisville-based company on a professional tour.Īs you might expect from a classic club maker, the new Citation driver driver introduced at this year’s PGA Merchandise Show isn’t square, triangular, or oval.
Then along came Fuzzy Zoeller who won 10 of his 12 professional tournaments with the clubs. One of my favorite players in the 60s and 70s, Bobby Nichols, carried the bright orange PowerBilt staff bag. The next year, Olin Dutra used their clubs to win the U.S. The company got into golf in 1916 and introduced the PowerBilt brand in 1933. Hillerich and Bradsby dates back to 1884 when John “Bud” Hillerich invented the Louisville Slugger baseball bat. But now they’re making a comeback with a new line of premium clubs and have brought back long-time endorser Fuzzy Zoeller to gain presence on the Champions Tour. Sadly, as persimmon passed away, H&B joined other classic club manufacturers like MacGregor and Wilson in decline as a top brand. Plus there was that “lucky” horseshoe logo engraved in the soleplate.
The persimmon heads were beautifully shaped and the signature brass backweight clearly announced these were the real deal. I chose Hillerich and Bradsby PowerBilt Citations.
One of my fondest memories in golf goes back to the late 60s when I was finally able to afford a top “pro” line of woods.
