Need some driver advice. TWG has a great deal on the Cobra S2 driver with regular shaft. I am currently hitting a Callaway x-460. Would this be much of an upgrade? Also, would I be better served by holding off and getting a driver fitting. My club pro fits Pings.

Yes, it might be a slight upgrade in distance and accuracy if the club suits your swing well. I'd go see your pro about a g15 fit to your swing if you want best results.

I think the majority of folks would benefit from a proper fitting for an after market shaft in their current driver. However, to be honest, I would likely buy the Cobra. Easier to give good advice than to take it. Better yet, if the deal is that good, buy the Cobra and if you like it better than the 460, get an after market shaft put in it.

I would just make sure you take your swing speed into account if you're not already. A regular shaft will fit your swing, in general, if your swing speed is anywhere from 80-95 mph. Anything above that and you should get a stiff flex shaft.

At this point in golf technology, I have learned that any gains are mostly in the shaft and in visual preference. The driver clubheads are pretty much maxed out so it is more about getting something that fits your swing. Of course who can resist a good deal?

Is it worth it to go from a 420 or 440cc head to 460cc if you have problems finding the sweet spot on your current smaller head driver? Sorry to thread jack but it kinda fits in here

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
