Worth a new driver

[eberryhill7]

So I have an r7 460 driver that I got when it was about a year old. I hit the thing pretty well, but I'm wondering if I am doing myself a disservice by not having a newer one. I typically hit it 250 with a slight fade that is a lot worse when I miss. Most of the time, aiming a bit right allows it to land in the fairway. Is my best option to just practice more or can I make significant gains by buying a driver that came out in the past year or two? Thanks.

I think that you are good as you are with more practice. But, if you are really interested in a new driver, try finding a demo day or a golf store that will allow you to check out a different driver. With some exceptions, I feel that most of the time the technology doesn't change enough from year to year to warrant a new driver.

Maybe try and take a few lessons or do the online swing lessons and see if that helps any.

If you typically hit 250 with a slight fade, wrap your existing driver up in tissue paper at night and never let it out of your sight. Why would you even be contemplating a new one? Seriously.
