You were lucky to find a good set of clubs at a thrift store. Wife goes to them a lot and told me that she saw a Titeliest driver at a thrift store which sounded like a newer model. Went to the store and it was the exact model of a club that donated to the local driving range which taught handicapped children to play 10+ years ago. It did have the old smaller head

If buying from a thrift shop, probably need to figure in cost(s) of new grips which start at about $7.00 a club installed.
