The feel/sound of driving the ball right on the sweet spot of an old wood is not something that can be duplicated with any of the new high-tech drivers.
Until a few years ago, I was using the Spaulding Executives with tour blades and D1 stiffness. You really had to hit the sweet spot in order to drive the ball but when it was hit correctly, the ball would really respond to the strike.
Switched to R-6 irons and R-7 drivers. No change in handicap.
