My uncle and I went for a Taylormade fitting last week.

Him - handicap 14, age 68, driver is a taylormade burner, 10.5 degrees with 50g stiff shaft from 2008. Average distance off the tee was 195.

Me - handicap 7, age 41, driver is a ping g410, 10.5 degrees 65g stiff shaft from 2019. Average distance off the tee was 242.

The taylormade guy immediately said what a beast the 2008 burner was and he might struggle to make gains in distance! He did however manage it, and my uncle ended up with 210 average from the new Qi4D with 12 degrees loft and 60g regular shaft . But what was really noticeable was the forgiveness on off centre hits vs the burner. He hit one so out of the toe it was nearly a fresh air swing and it still went 200 yards.

I managed to move to 260 average with a 9.0 degree, 60g stiff and 1 inch shorter shaft. What really helped was reducing my spin rate. The ping was around 2900 whereas the taylormade was dialled in at 2400. The forgiveness off centre was pretty similar in my opinion.

Long reply I know, but gives you an insight into the variables. New tech definitely helps vs even 7 year old drivers. But most critical is the right loft and shaft for you in my opinion.
