Typically when new models of drivers are released, golfers will be eager to go out and buy, however just because it’s new doesn’t mean that it’s better take for example the reviews for the Mizuno ST190 Driver (2019) against the Cobra Bio Cell Driver (2014) for example and we can see that the Cobra driver which is 5 years older performs better in fields such as adjustability, feel and sound and forgiveness you will have to see for yourself.
