Maybe an old dog can learn new tricks. After being custom-fit for a driver early in the season, 70-year-old Bob Radin has a new lease on his (golfing) life. “I had back issues the past three years. My swing speed has slowed, and the new driver compensates for it with a more flexible, lower-kickpoint shaft,” he said. “And, the clubhead is hotter with a larger sweet spot than my 7-year-old, custom driver.”
In addition to the loss of speed, the retired dentist had accuracy issues with his old club. “I’d tend to miss to the right of the target, or hit a duck hook,” Radin added. “That’s no longer the case with my new club.”
