Hi All
Long time lurker here but I have a question so thought I’d finally get involved…
I currently use a Taylormade R7 CGB Max Driver and 3 Wood, these clubs were released in 2008 so are getting on for 9 years old now. With the advancement in club technology in that time do people think I am potentially giving up a fair amount of distance compared to say if I was using a newer model? (M1/2, Epic, 917 etc…) I hit both clubs pretty solid most of the time but am just wondering whether I am giving up say 20 yards or so on good hits and maybe even more on mis-hits as I know these new all singing all dancing bells and whistles clubs are supposed to be more forgiving as well.
If I were to go and get something new I would go and see a professional and get custom fit, and I know I can use a session like this to compare my current clubs with any new one, but I’m not sure I’d have the will power to say no to any shiny new toys. Obviously these things are different for everyone but I was just hoping to get a general consensus on whether people thinks it’s generally worth it, or am I being naïve?
I’d really appreciate any feedback/input.
