I see, then nothing much can be done.
My concerns are losing distance when tee off due to the aging of driver, the sound of impact getting dumb too.
I used to drive about 210 yds, but now getting about 180 yds.Friends suggested that it might be due to the aging of driver and so I asked the question.
For your info, I am talking about my 10 years old cleveland 360 driver. 🙂

參與者回覆I’m not sure whether the answer is right or not:
“The average life of a driver is approx 3000-5000 hits before it loses its resiliency.”
Refer to:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_life_a_golf_driver_how_many_hits” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;’10 years’ is not a short period. May be the problem is age instead of equipment? 😆 Just joking!

3000-5000 hits?
If you use your driver 15 hits per game, for a serious golfer (2 games a week plus DR), you can easily hit it 50 times a week, which is 2500 hit a year. Which means you should find a new toy after 2 years? John Daley’s driver will certainly not lasting 3000 hits including the abuse but I am sure an average golfer’s driver can last 3-5 years.

Agree. Personally, I think it should be more than 10K hits.
But, I don’t think John Daly can hit his driver over 3,000 hits. I think he has sponsor AND … his driver may be dropped into water. 😆

hey, guys.
I know aging of people is a major factor for getting less driving distance too. 😆
Indeed, it is funny experience for seeing you driver “done”, I think I must have hit it over 5000 hits for all those years.
Time to do golf shopping for myself this x’mas maybe. 🙂
It is good to see some decent old forum buddies still around for those years.
How is everyone doing? 😆

Not saying this is the norm… but how long a particular driver remains in the bag depends on how well the player played with it. Of course there are level headed golfer quickly realizing that if he/she not playing well, there are factors other than the driver is lossing its ‘playing life’. To me, a male, a particular driver will stay in my playing bag, as long as I have not discover a replacement which I believe it is more ‘interesting’ to play with, similar to dating, for me.

參與者回覆I use my driver in driving range 3-4 times a week with 20-30 hits each time over 3 years. It is still working very well. I am increasing my distance from 180—>230M by improving my swing. It is Mactec 460 NV-NX head with UST shaft.

May be it is the result of skill improvement > club degrading.
But, personally, I think that it should be more than 10K hits. -

I believe one other factor that greatly affect the life span of a driver is how you take care of it. In my case I wash my clubs every 2-3 rounds, make sure there’s no dirt on it and I make sure I wipe it dry before putting it back in my bag.
I have a feeling that the rust DTC had on his/her driver is because it wasn’t taken care of properly, but it can also be humidity.

Talking about Driver Life, we should separate Shaft from Head. For Shaft, depending on your hitting power, I would imagine 3y+ or 10K+ are typical range for an average hitter (<<250y). I am not sure about the head, which is supposed to be long lasting but no idea if it does deformed. My "experience" of a broken driver is either on shaft or on the joint, never come across deformed head other than damage during transportation.

Thanks for the suggestion but already tried wd 40 but not too effective, I think sand paper will be needed but may ruin the club face. Will give it a try. As to the shafts, the old clubs with graphites are ok, some steel shafts also have rust problems.
I tried sandpaper, I say it is not worth the effort, too fine sandpaper takes hours to rub the rust off, too rough will ruin the club face. My conclusion is – if you leave your club long enough to collect so much dust & rust, forget about cleaning it, buy a new one with newer technology and help the economy. 🙁 😆

Sand-paper? to my driver? Over my dead body! Unless I just saw a new one at Golftown and having a tough time to convince myself to buy it,
