Bearing in mind the cost etc, who prefers an old school driver like a Callaway greatest big Bertha over something more modern with the choice being endless?

Well, for good ball strikers I don’t think the technology can be disregarded. But for pure nostalgic enjoyment I’ve played my last couple of rounds with 1987 WS Fluid Feel irons and a set of 3-4-5W plus Driver from around 1979…..😃

at the end of last year I bough the PXG 0211 driver.
It was at a good price, so I got the benefit of having a new driver without having to pay new driver prices.

 

In my Grom:

Driver-Taylormade 10.5 Woods- Taylomade 3 wood, taylormade 4 Hybrid
Irons- Callaway Big Berthas 5i - GW Wedges- Titles Volkey  Putter- Odyssey protype #9
Ball- Bridgestone E6
All grips Golf Pride

 I think @Vinsk has it right. If you’re a good ball striker and are looking for better outcomes go with new technology.  I’m not a great player but recently had a fitting. My “old” clubs were Callaway XRS.  The fitting ended up changing my irons to Titleist T200 and wedges to Vokey. I can completely tell the difference. Interestingly, the fitter couldn’t find a better driver for me than the XRS.
 

Now, deeper into the season, I tried the latest Callaway Paradym at our course. My drive was consistently 15-20 yards farther. Did I buy it? Nope. I will, however, go back for a driver fitting again because I think my swing is a bit more consistent

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
