But a driver from 2-3 years ago? I haven't seen a huge difference in distance since Ping came out with the TiSi driver back in the 90s. All the rest give you a bit more accuracy but since then I've seen maybe 4-5 yards more off the tee for good players. You can get a bigger jump in distance by having your driver and ball fit to you.
Boom; I totally agree. I've hit the same 9.5 degree Razor Fit driver for the last 7 years and I can't find anything I can hit straighter or further. I did change the stock shaft to a Grafalloy Pro Launch Red right after I got it to help get the ball flight down.
