The pro's get paid big money to play new clubs and sign with a particular company. I believe the technology does offer some potential for improvement with new metal woods but I would also say that if you look in most pro's bags they are not playing perimeter weighted cast irons, they are much more inclined to be hitting the forged tour blade design from years ago. They do this because they can work the ball better and the irons are not marketed as strongly as the woods.
What the pros do is purely for marketing purposes, if they paid me a few mill to play with the DCI driver, I would make it work for me as well.
Tiger can hit a persimmon club damn near as well as the toaster on the end of a stick. He won't tell you that because he's getting paid 60 mil by Nike to play their ****, good for him.
I can play with my Callaway Steelhead III and have an 8 handicap, I play as well today as I played 30 years ago, the difference in my game in certainly the result of technology and of perimeter weighted irons, I would suck if I had to go back to Wilson Staff's that I played 30 years ago.
