I am currently using an older R510 TP, which I love, but wondering if I am missing out on the latest tech. What do you all think from your experiences with newer drivers?

If you were using a 3-year-old or 5-year-old driver, I'd be quick to assure you that you probably aren't going to get much more out of the latest tech. 

However, in this case, your driver is 20 years old. So, yes, you are probably missing out on the latest tech. 

If you are hitting your R510 out of the dead center every single time, you may see a few yard improvement by going to the latest tech. If you are scattering some shots around the face you are likely to see more. How much more will depend upon a lot of factors. Bring your R510 to a reputable fitter and compare it head to head with some of the latest and greatest. Then you will know for sure. 

Good luck, enjoy the process, new drivers are fun to shop for. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I loved that driver, but it is over 20 years old and less than 400cc. You are definitely missing out on technology. Current drivers are better optimized for current golf balls. Engineers have better utilized weight design, head size, face thickness, shaft adjustability for loft, lie angle, and face alignment. You could easily find both more yards and consistency with a driver fitting. Good luck!

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
    • I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
