fixyurdivot 9,514 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. 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver | Official 2019 MGS Tester G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w G410 Irons 4-UW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) B61 Putter Link to post Share on other sites
PlaidJacket 7,725 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. 1 Quote My Sun Mountain bag currently includes: 771CSI 5i - PW and PFC Micro Tour-c 52°, 56°, 60 wedges EXS 10.5*, 929-HS FW4 16.5* Willimette w/GolfPride Contour Link to post Share on other sites
3ironpunch 72 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 1 Quote 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 post Share on other sites
GB13 7,778 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. 1 Quote Wilson Staff C300 9.0* Fujikura Pro 58 stiff Callaway Rogue 3W Mitsubishi Diamana D+ LTD 80 stiff Mizuno MP-18 MMC FLI-HI 2 iron UST Mamiya Recoil 95 stiff Ping I200's 4-W Aerotech Steelfiber I110 CW stiff Ping Glide 52* and 58* stiff Bettinardi Studio Stock #38 Armlock Link to post Share on other sites
revkev 22,571 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Totally agree with all of the above Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 1 Quote Ping G410 - turned down to11.25 degrees, neutral setting - Fujikura Motore X R flex Ping G410 5-9 wood Wilson D7 forged 6-GW - Mamiya recoil 460 R flex SCOR 52,60 EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Currently testing Edison wedges to replace SCORS that are wearing out. Also auditions for the 14th spot in the bag. Current possibilities are a Ping 26 degree hybrid - duplicates the 9 wood or 5 iron but would be used almost exclusively for chipping or Tour Exotics 3 wood simply because you can carry 14 clubs and I might occasionally hit it in certain unusual wind conditions once every four or five rounds.
