fixyurdivot Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I purchased a used Razr-Fit driver in January at a shop in AZ. It has been the best $50 I've spent on golf. While chatting with some guys in the club house after a round the other day, one of them was thinking his driver had "lost some of its pop". He was certain it was not damaged (cracked) but just that it was not getting the distance it did when new. Not knowing the history of the driver I purchased, it got me thinking. While it is in like new condition cosmetically and has a stock shaft, for all I know it was used by a 6'9", 280 lb small NBA forward with a triple digit swing speed. How real is this notion that drivers loose their "pop"? My brief interwebz search suggests this is folly - more likely a golfer looking for an excuse.

PlaidJacket Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I don't buy into that theory. This past weekend I was driving the ball as good as I have all summer with equal or greater distance. FWIW - My driver is a 2014 SLDR.

3ironpunch Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I agree with PlaidJacket. I just returned from the range where I was hitting a 20 plus year old first flight driver. It goes about 210. Considering age of the test robot and declination in swing speed the club is just fine. Note. I use that small head to focus on strike since that driver head could fit inside my current driver and still have room to move around Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Callaway Big Bertha Fusion Heavy 10.5 closed face setting Callaway Razor Fit 3 wood Nickent 3 Hybrid XR-OS 4i - 9i factory steel stiff 2 up +1 Ben Hogan 44,48,52,56 Nickent PP-01 Maxfli Tour Center of Gravity model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB13 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Unless the club is damaged or cracked, this is just an excuse for poor play. A driver can not lose "pop", if anything a driver would get broken in and be better.
