Why do we have drivers?!
Ok. Like many people I have struggled with my driver. Lots of slicing power fades, and even straight hits I would get maybe 200yds.
A few months ago I had lessons, and was custom fit for a Qi35, 1” shortened. I was much better, averaging 218yds, and about 50% success rate for straight shots.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a 3h. Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke. I wanted to fill the gap between driver and 4h which was travelling about 170.
I decided to try my new club off the tee, and I’m absolutely smashing it. Every shot is straight, and the direction I’m aiming, and I am averaging 230yds on tee shots, which is further AND more consistent than my driver even after lessons.
Considering on most normal courses 230yds would get you to within long iron or at least hybrid distance to green, why bother with drivers?
