You can stay with the old tech, but you're giving up 15 to 20 yards on miss hits . Today drives you can hit them all over the face and still be in play and about the same distance as a center hit. No one is making you give up your driver, so I don't understand the question. I don't miss any of my old drivers other then Callaway Diablo and if I want to, I can go on Ebay and get one for $75 in great condition .but I'll stick with my Rogue .
