  I am being taken out of the game, I am 73 years old (and old age never comes alone in my case it’s arthritis among other things) my reaction speed using the meters are no way as good as younger players,

  I cant get clubs that reach the fairways when the wind is above 12 mph against me on some holes (example holes 5 and 7 at Bethpage). Most lot of the time I cant get near the mark using clubs with faster meters and I kept loosing balls on the drive.

  So to try to be competitive I have gone back to the Rapture clubs, but the driver only hits 255. Is it possible for a new set to be added with a driver that hits somewhere around the 275 mark please?

  Hi,

  I understand your dilemma. While I don't know if/when we will have slower driver with 275+ distance, I think if you do educated guess on when/where you miss, you could aim opposite way to compensate it.

  Back when I had same issue, i could miss 80% late than early, so I'd aim 10-15 yards left on my drives, so I was not worried if I ding or missed 1/2 a box because I have compensated for it.

  Maybe get a ball with greater distance, like the GI-SD, this is a pretty good overall ball that I used to use  and not too much more expensive than the ones your using.

  Cheers
