Someone got the better of the Ebay Ninja?! Well, it does happen once in a great while. LoL

Yeah, I wondered on the drivers because the few older S&G's I have, either have all standard drivers, or just one lipped mushroom.
I just wonder when the standard of placing at least two shrooms in them went into affect.
