Has anyone ever told you guys that you don't have to buy new drivers just because they are on sale?

If it's going to cost me up to between £30 and £40 to upgrade/change to a 2013 model after 2 years it's not bad value for money. In addition if I can get away 10.5 degrees loft in the winter and then 9.5 in the summer to optimise carry and roll and do it with one tool, it's not a bad investment.
In a worst case scenario I may hate it and lose £20- £25 on ebay

What youve just said is about as much BS as taylormades marketing

Why do you need a 2013 model, what's wrong with your RBZ TP?
With respect, that's a load of old nonsense.

There are plenty of TM haters and to be honest I don't think that they or any other manufacturer have made a bad driver in the last few years however I do note that one of you uses a Titleist 910D and the other a Razr Fit. It would be interesting to know if you paid full RRP or if you paid £100.
I'd also be interested to know if saw any miracle figures in terms of performance from the driver it replaced, my guess is not.
My philosophy is simple with drivers, they all do the same thing if you buy last years model cheap and keep it for two years it will cost you £20-£30 per year taking into account resale value of your previous driver and not £250 every three years, that is providing you take care of your equipment.
If you want to talk about BS look at some of the marketing that goes into drivers and shafts. The truth of the matter is if we invested in lessons instead we'd all be better golfers for it.

It's nothing to do with not liking TM, it just seems people are buying drivers because they're cheap, not because they're good for your game. It all just seems a little odd to me. Still, it's your money.
P.S. I paid £229 for my driver two years ago, I won't be changing it for at least 5 years at which point I'll buy another one new. Resale value doesn't even cross my mind when I buy clubs as I get value for money through longevity, not through selling them every few years. I'll bet I spend less on drivers over time than the choppers and changers do.

would you need to go with a fitter once owning an R1 to get the correct setting ?

Golf depot have some really good deals on balls which I'm very tempted to order but from what I've heard about them I really don't know if it's worth risking it buying from them.
Also website says that they won't be posting anything until 6th Jan which is a bit annoying.

DG price matched me on Mizuno JPX EZ for £295. Now AG have an extra sale on so trying to price match with them for the rbladez tour for £245. Could be a steal.

I was wondering same best I can find is £269 for a 7/10 set on jam golf.
that would be robbery! who is selling tours for that price? surely not some dodgy online site with no phone number?

even @ £149 I think these are a bargain. Knock TM but by bringing loads of kit out they dont half fall in value which suits the more discerning golfers wallet nicely.
Golf Depot are fine imho as used several times without issue.
