The new drivers have sliding bars that change the c of g and the draw/fade bias. plus a adjustment for loft...and these composites are showing up all over the head to change  the weight distribution.

So what's the next big thing what the heck does everyone need if you're able to change everything?

Low aerodynamics that make the "turbulators" look like the model T of air resistance reduction.

Well I have to say I'm up for that because I've never been able to swing the 460 heads like I was able to swing the old 250 heads..

The next big thing is hyper light heads weighing 100 grams with directed mass where you need it. Shafts can only go so light current 30 grams is the lightest tour shaft ever tried by Brant sneedeker I think.. don't quote me on that though :)  Anyway head weight really influences how fast you can swing it 100 grams less and you might gain 20 mph and if built correctly possibly 50 yards.

None of this tech is new and none of it is about anything other than trying to create sales.

Composite head? Adjustable weight? Hardly new. It's a decade old tech.

It's all about hackers thinking they can buy a game or just motivating people with disposable income to spend it.

It's not "going" anywhere.

The most important thing in a driver is the shaft, but one looks just like another, so the average player (who would benefit from having the correct one) doesn't care because his buddies won't know the difference.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
    • I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...  
    • Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target. 
    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
