When is the time to get a new driver?

Any suggestions? My driver is 13 degree loft abt 4yrs + very tempted to change to 10.5 degree.... but should I....

If you are interested, I do have a 10.5 degree Titleist D2 driver.
Only use it, on the range... do check it out at the marketplace.
Can discount ... ;-) !

cheers

Good question. I also dunno the answer.
I guess, it's when we feel that we've improved or that we've bought into the marketing hype! hahaha.. Or if our wallets are too heavy

Actually the newer driver designs are more forgiving .i.e they distance and direction loss are less on off-center hits.

Not sure why you are using a 13* driver. Maybe it's due to your swing speed or angle of attack. But you might benefit from visiting a friendly clubfitter to check out the performance before deciding on equipment change. No point spending money on equipment that does not improve your game, unless it makes you happy just seeing new stuff in your bag; in that case.. just go for it!

good point... but u r right it's nice to see something new in my bag

If your swing speed have improves and a new Driver nowadays are quite reasonable, Why Not ! life is short !

My driver about a year old, my irons sets i quite happy with it as it a very easy irons to hit. May get a semi blade irons when i could break 90 lor !

Well I do agree if u find yr driver limiting yr game, u might go shop ard for one. There are so many new techie stuff that should help improve yr game and they r More forgiving.
U should go to those demo sessions to try out the clubs or to a place to try out, then shop around for the best deals.
Unless u r a pro or hv deep pockets, I would always do what most of the gang here do, buy the driver that is 2 release old as the r priced better. Newly launch drivers should dip down after 3-6 months. Not the latest newest launched drivers.
