Anyone gaming an 3+ year old driver?

Recommended Posts

I am posting just out of curiosity. Lately when I play with people I know or end up joining others at my local courses everyone seems to comment on my "old, non-adjustable driver". I am currently gaming a Callaway Diablo Edge Tour, 9.5*, with an Aldila VS Proto 60 s-flex shaft. I hit it about 280 yards, almost all carry. I have no intention of changing clubs anytime soon (I actually have a brand new backup, sames specs, in my basement).

 

When I ask those with adjustable drives many seem to have not been fit and are playing the thing on standard settings anyway. Not that I play from the short grass 70% of the time, but those I play with who have adjustable drivers don't seem to be driving it much better than me.

 

Just my observations.

 

Any others out there in the same boat as me.

I keep going back to my L4V. Nothing is straighter. I might keep tinkering with different shafts and will probably keep trying out newer drivers, but I just hit this head so straight there doesn't seem like a better one available at this time. I think it 6 years old now.

I ho'd away a DET and shouldn't have. That was easily my favorite Callaway driver that I have ever hit. The VS combo sounds like it would be a hot driver, nice choice.

I can't find anything to replace it...

Nor should you. Yet another model I shouldn't have gotten rid of.

I've got 3. The one I play the most is my Cally Diablo Octane Tour 9.5 with Aldila RIP alpha x. I don't see it getting replaced any time soon. I also have an old Ping G2 9.5 with an Aldila NV-65s that I hit pretty well and a Nicklaus Air Max 430-s 10.5 with the stock fujikura that can be a bomber when you just want to hit it straight.

My Callaway Razr Tour's crown split in half yesterday. Got with the times and picked up a SLDR, but I couldn't replace the Cally when it was in one piece.
