Not that it means much to anyone else. But I've yet to see Callaway promise 17+ yards gained from their more recent model to the next.
TaylorMade might design and manufacture great product, but it's incredibly hard for a serious golfer to take them, well, uh,.... seriously.
But undeniably, I'm sure, there were a lot of 30 handicappers who bought into the TM hype. And.... still figuring out that they're just as far away from the greens on their tee shots as they were prior to spending $499 on the latest and greatest.
Anyone who thinks technology can go above and beyond where it is now is just someone who has several hundred dollars in a discretionary spending account and wants the "latest and greatest" status at their club.
