One Piece Graphite Driver

During the 1980s, some Taiwan-based tennis racquet manufacturers began to experiment with polymer materials and their own specialised manufacturing processes to produce more diverse sports equipment, such as golf clubs and fishing rods.

A product of this experimentation was the I.C.S. 1000 one piece driver. From the end of the shaft to the sole of the head, this club was a single piece of composite material. Like the woods made from a single piece of hickory some ninety years earlier, they were not a success.
