Honestly, have we all been conned by the OEM marketing hype, NEW is LONGER

[daMANiack]

Hi,

Yes, I'm a Callaway Driver Junkie, according to the marketing, NEW is better and MUCH, MUCH LONGER, LOWER SPIN, TIGHTER DISPERSION.

I've kept my i-Mix Razr Hawk and FT-9 heads and shafts but always discounted thinking old technology with HIGH SPIN and WIDE DISPERSION.

I've been driving poorly with my Razr Fit and Xtreme drivers lately and decided to test my OLD Razr Hawk and Razr Hawk Tour (Tour issue) drivers against the newer and found surprisingly, the older drivers out performered the newer in consistency, forgiveness and DISTANCE

It's annoying, I've spent $1,000's over the last few years for nothing.

I was hitting my Razr Hawk Tour 10.5* with Vs Proto shaft today, fellow competitor said where did you hit that, I said very low and barely on the club face, but it was 10-15 metres further than where my RF with Tour AD DI shaft would go.

I'm confused and PI$$ED.

Well blow me down with a feather.

[Captain Nemo]

We are conned daily.
Mickelson is the worst poster boy of them all.
Bangs on about this that and phrankenwood blah, blah then comes out and uses a TM sldr at the preso cup!
Give me a ****ing break.....

Hi,

We'll, OEM companies now releasing upto 4 new drivers per year, new club cycle used to be around 2 years before replaced.

Claims they make that can't be substantiated.

Hi,

OK, how many of us have our favourites driver of all time sitting in the cupboard thinking NEWER is BETTER.

All I can say, is do some testing like I have, you might be surprised with the results like I was.

Hi,

My point is, just give it another try, you might be surprised.

I like new shiny things......

I was thinking the same thing this afternoon when I keep hitting my new Callaway 3-Deep 13* 10-15m past all of my drivers!!!

I thought that I can't wait until Callaway brings out a 1-Deep Driver......but wait a minute.....that will probably be a Great Big Bertha with a new disguise

PS: The GBB was probably my all time favourite driver with steel FIRM shaft.....stu

Had Razr Fit for about 15months now. Can't see anything replacing it.

If I came across a 9032 or FT9 I would buy them again. Both really nice.

Hi,

Do the same as me when my drivers, fairways and hybrids get dull and un-attractrive, use a quality car polish to clean then protect.

Gloss Black is easy to restore, try that with frigg'n WHITE TM crap.

I'd still be using my FT9TA if it hadn't decided to become fully two piece.

I plan on getting another when Nudgee decides to unload his current one.

I reckon the FT9TA was longer than the Razr Extreme - however the headcover on the Extreme matches my current model Cally Razr staff bag!

In the mean time I plan on trying out a Cally Legacy Black driver head.

[mrbluu]

Nothing has out performed my Superfast 2.0 TP with V2 shaft.......

[backintheswing]

I thought nudgee just sold the FT9TA.

[matty]

I'm convinced driver heads matter very little, except for feel. Can't see myself getting rid of the razrfit for that reason. Golf swing aside, I believe shafts are the biggest factor for distance, flight, dispersion etc.

[Hux]

He had 2. He sold the draw bias one. Last thing I need is a draw driver. He has a straight 10.5* as well.....although I also covet someone tour issue FT Tour they are currently using!!!

[backintheswing]

I have just shafted up a razr hawk tour issue with hot melt, with a axivcore 75s green. Yet to hit it, but it sits mint.

[fireblade]

yep, the Razr hawk isn't coming out of the bag, nothing new comes close to it...but i do have "my" shaft in it.

What shaft?

[fireblade]

What shaft?

Carbon Fiber Products Exception 90gm.

[mrbluu]

Nothing has out performed my Superfast 2.0 TP with V2 shaft.......

But now I'm considering getting the R1......

Nope.

Limit of 460cc and .83 COR, there is nothing they can do to make it go further.
All they can do is shiny graphics and some buttons/screws that we wouldnt need if we got fitted properly in the first place
