How Often Do You Replace… Your Driver?

I've had the same Nike Sumo driver since 2007-2008 when I started golfing again. I still have it because I can still hit it fine. One of my playing partners offered me his Nike Covert (last year's model) for next to nothing because it's stiff, and he needs senior most likely. Didn't hit it any better than my current driver, so I passed. Plus, I'd need to cut it down 2 inches to match my current length (which isn't that big of a deal).

Used drivers are cheap, so I buy 1 or 2 year old drivers all the time to try out then keep, give away, or sell.

Went with 5+ years. Generally, that's the case if I have one I get on with. Experimented a bit over the last few years, so not strictly true but now I have one I really like, I don't think I'll be changing for some while. Also, I don't think there's a great deal the OEMs can do to improve the current driver tech, despite the advertising blurb. I could see myself maybe changing a shaft (would need a lot of convincing over the current one though) but that would be it.

Can't see the point of chopping and changing that much as, if someone pretty much fails to get on with any drivers, it's not the club that's the main issue.
