Any cliffs for us mere handicapped mortals


juat kind of looks like to me that that, no, the new M1 driver won't let you hit it 30 yards further, maybe 0.8 yards further compared to 5 year old technology.

think what is a real key is to have the driver properly tuned and set-up to the swing action to be able to achieve the best possible launch conditions available to each golfer - that's the only real way to make sure folks can be able to maximize the possible distance that the individual swing motion is able to achieve
