fatshot you might be sacraficing on distance on mis-hits, but I’d venture to guess that’s about it. I still hit drivers of that era like the DB455, DCT, Ashton X-1, the distance is right there with my Ping G30LST which is widely regarded as one of the longest heads out there. The difference is distance of less than good shots. For me, the biggest issue is the Ping will roll over too easily and produce some nasty hooks that were rare with the others, but the others have a sweet spot about the size of a nickel, the Ping gets similar distance from damn near anywhere on the face, it also has more gear effect which can mean a longer miss.
