Worth upgrading?

[Trelly]

So I am a 15 handicap who has been playing my 909d2 driver and s57 irons for the last 10 years. I don't keep up to date on tec much but I am really interested in upgrading my driver. 2 clubs I've handled that I've really liked are the SIM and G410. I'm a big guy with a fast swing (about 116-117 with driver). Is the tec difference with the new clubs compared to what I have really that big of a jump? I'm looking for something that's going to give me better dispersion which I hope the new clubs would provide. I just don't know how much I buy into the upgrades over the last 10 years.

You’d have to go to a place like the PGA superstore or a fitter and see how the new drivers compare on a launch monitor.

Driver tech has come a LONG ways in the last decade. Any of the SIM of G410 models will surely have a positive effect on your game off the tee. TXG & 2nd Swing have both done some good videos comparing driver performance improvements over the past 5-10years.

 

That said, don't buy off the rack. Go get fit. Good luck!

Both the SIM and G410 drivers will be an upgrade from your old driver, both in distance and forgiveness. Go to any golf retail business that let's you hit demos into a simulator or on the range and find the one that performs best for you and hand over the money.

I was nearly in the same position... recently upgraded to new tech from a titleist 905r.  Couldn't be happier
