Likely its about every 5 years, by that length of time, technology has been improved enough to justify a new one.  Personally I dont chase tech and tend to buy the previous year tech, since its usually 30-40% cheaper and usually not many real improvements.

Keep in mind golfers tend to chase every little bit of new tech hoping its the magic bullet, and the OEM's need to tweak their products just to justify a new line or model.  Case in point, TM now has white drivers,,does it actually improve preformance,,no,,does it make their product more identifiable as the latest and greatest,,yes.

Latest issue of Golf Digest has their 2012 hot list,,and best in class selections based on their panel for every type of club in your bag.  That would be a good place to start.

PS Also note that you used the word NEED for a new driver,,Wanting a new one is something else.

      Pitching

      My rule of thumb for anything inside a 100 yards is my PW.  Of course, my SW and LW come into the picture when I need to loft it more and especially when I have little green to work with.

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By saevel25 ·

      let me check, I think my volleyball tournament is on 6/21, and we are just driving up and back the same day. I may be masochistic enough to then to play golf on Sunday (6/22). 🤣. 6/21 is 100% out for me.

      Tiger Woods Master Catch-All Discussion

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Thank you for sharing that. He was quite good wasn't he? I was curious, so took a look. He played 19 PGA Tour stroke play events in 2000. He was 263 under par (they did point that out at the end of the video). If you look at each event he played in and take the best score in each event for a player not called Tiger Woods, that combined field score was -259. So he beat the field - where the field resets every week - over the course of an entire season. That's mind blowing.

      How to Handicap a 12 Member, With a Partner, Scramble League?

      By iacas ·

      If they have the same handicap it doesn't matter what you take 35% and 15% of. If you have two low handicaps, averaging them is generally unwise as I said in my first response: a scratch and an 18 would get 9 strokes, which is silly given that one of the players is scratch.

      Thank you iacas! Interesting take on 35% on Lower Hdcp and 15% on higher Hdcp. Two questions. Why did you choose 35% & 15%? What would I do with tied Hdcp? Right now I'm just adding the two Hdcp. and dividing by 2. We have just 2 golfers with a low Hdcp. The other 10 golfers are very similar. With what I'm doing now, the highest Hdcp. difference, in a match, is 8 once and 7 twice, Again, Thank you very much!
