After reading this months edition of GM,I was inspired to go and try a new driver out, as for the last few years I have been using a Cobra 440SZ.
My first impression of new drivers (I hadnt hit a 460 sized driver before) was the size of the head being far bigger than anything I had used before, and when I was lining up to hit the ball I knew I was going to pummel it straight down the fairway.
In the end after trying a few drivers, getting a few blisters and starting to love a new driver, I decided to buy a Cobra LDM, and I have already noticed a huge difference in my swing.
Basically what I am getting at is that in the space of only 3 or 4 years since I bought my 440SZ, technology has advanced significantly and now I only have to hit the ball at 75% of the speed I previously used to get the same results with my new driver. Is technology now creating less of a void between high handicappers like myself and players with a lower handicap, as it seems less skill is needed off the tee to get the ball to go where you want?
