Would you ???

[User20204]

Another would you topic.

Bumped in to a fellow member yesterday in the car park who was out trying a new (to him) driver. Said it gave him 20 yards over his old one, then said, no sure the 20 yards is worth £200 for the new (to him) one.

Would you for 20 extra yards ??

 

[RangeMonkey]

Not right now.

I’ve only just started hitting my driver, and I’m only getting it about 150 yards. There’s much more to come from me before I start to think about the stick being the limitation.

Having said that, £200 is not much for a driver these days. If I was hitting it, say, 250, and a new driver would get me to 270, then definitely I’d shell out £200.

 

[fundy]

nope, 20 yards further into the deep stuff be no help at all

 

[williamalex1]

I'd give both testicles for an extra 50 yards, that should take me up to the 200 marker

 

[Imurg]

If it's straighter - take my money..

 

[GG26]

For an extra 20 yards, £200 sounds a bargain. However, not convinced that there is a club off of the shelf that could achieve that unless I got very lucky.

I failed to mention this guy is one of the straightest players I've ever played with off the tee but he is a short hitter.

It wasn't for me to advice him, it's not my money but if I was as short off the tee as him, like you, take my money.

 

[Swango1980]

I'd spend it if it was 20 yards shorter if it increased my fairways in regulation stat

 

[Deleted member 1147]

In his position (short but straight) unless I couldn’t afford it, hell yes!

 

[jim8flog]

The M4 I bought gained me 15 yards over the R9 I was playing so it stayed in the bag - cost £249 (used, in perfect condition)

Now I wish I could buy irons that give me an extra 15 yards with the same accuracy

the holy grail sir, i think were both old enough to know it doesnt exist!!!!!!

 

[Mel Smooth]

Get a Ping Moxie Junior Driver, they're awesome.

Thing is short hitters are usually straight.
Once you start hitting longer that’s when you start leaving it left or right .
A short drive that just stays on the fairway is in the rough or trees if it’s 20yds longer.

there are plenty times when I wished my drive was 20 yards shorter but would I give up 20 overall, never.

 

[njt1986]

If I could pay £1000 to hit the ball into the middle of the fairway with no extra distance gained, I probably would. So if I was a straight hitter and could pay £200 for an extra 20 yards then I'd pay it without question

 

[Crow]

Only if it was made of wood.

 

[Capella]

Hell yeah. If it really is consistently 20 yards longer, that's a lot.

 

[robinthehood]

Straight or not, if it's guaranteed 20 yds longer than every equivalent drive than my current then I'm in.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I'd pay it, with the proviso others are mentioning, that I maintain accuracy. An extra 20yds on my course gets me within range of pretty much all par 4's in 2. At the moment I am annoyingly just short on quite a number.

My son's driver, TM M2, gives me an extra 10-20yds when I get it right but that is a 1 in 5 happening. The other 4 in 5 are all over the shop which is why I don't have one as well.

 

[User20204]

that's a lot.

Indeed. His current is a Titleist 905 and he was testing a G400 Ping so I think it's probable
