The craziest part is the older driver is only 44"...
I didn't have a new TaylorMade model...
So I tested this 40 year old head against my 2025 Elyte Triple Diamond...
Tour Model TaylorMade Specs:
8.5Β°
44"
X-Stiff
65g
Elyte Triple Diamond Specs:
8Β°
45.5"
X-Stiff
65g
Tested it on a real golf course instead of a simulator...
Back to back drives...
Same model golf ball...
Difference was 3 yards, in favor of the Elyte...
Why so close?
The backspin was WAY lower with the older head...
I just launched it up there extra high with no fear of it ballooning.
It's not like the Elyte's spin was extra high or anything...
But the TaylorMade was just that much lower.
It's interesting to note that on a launch monitor there was a much bigger difference between the two drivers...
But we don't play on a launch monitor, do we? π£πββοΈπ€
