  Why is it possible for a lvl 48 player to have access to a driver that hits 275 yds.

  But at my level 101 I can only get a driver that hits 287 yds or 289 yds at lvl 103.come on wgt it's probally 2 yrs of playing to get to 101 from lvl 48

  How long would you like a high level driver to go? 350-400yds?

  Even with the longest driver in the pro shop you will still be hitting long/mid iron approaches from the legend tees.

  I had your driver until a few months ago, it is more than adequate from legend tees.

  But I bet that Callaway (Level 100+) would average over 300 yards. While I don't track my average distance after each round, I would guess it's very rare when I average fewer than 300 yards/drive with my Nike, which is also rated at 287 yards.
  
  Personally, I think the drivers are fine. In fact, there are a few holes that I either don't hit driver or back off the driver a bit.
