Is it worth buying now instead of waiting till they aren't the price of a kidney or a 2nd born child?

The Callaway marketing is working hard on me with this driver and it doesn't help matters a friend of mine has one and is ripping his drives with it. I think he traded in a bunch of clubs for it so he didn't pay full price either.

I know TD will not let me down with quality advice.

Just sell your kid. Golf is more fun than children anyway.

I hit a demo on the range about a week ago. It felt pure but I was hitting into a strong wind so I couldnt get a reading on a good distance. It was easily the lightest driver Ive ever used.

Go get fitted on a launch monitor by a certified fitter with no preconceived notions. I went into one last year wanting the Titliest or Ping, but the M2 spun 800 RPMs less with a better launch angle. I picked up 7 yards of carry and 15 total vs. my current driver and other choices.

If you're in South Louisiana, James Leitz is your guy.

I'm going to a fitting today with John Joy. He is one of the top fitters in the country. I am looking at the epic sub zero as well. I took a demo out for a couple rounds and was amazed by the distance gains and accuracy improvement compared to my current Taylor Made SLDR.

I got fitted a few weeks ago and hit the 2017 M1/M2, 917 Titleist and Callaway Epic/Sub Zero.

I really anticipated myself hitting the Taylormades better but I hit the Sub Zero 10-12 yards farther than the others because of the lower spin I got with it. Feels really good off the face, better than the M1/M2.

Looking forward to hitting real shots with it when it comes in.

John Joy is great. I brought my Scotty over there and he got it tweaked just right for me. Really improved my short putting.

I would wait a year and it will be affordable.

Epic subzero zero 10.5 is one of the best drivers I have hit in quite a while.

If price isn't an issue then buy it. If price is an issue you're dumb for even thinking about buying the most expensive driver on the market to add 3 yards to your drive when you're playing in your weekend wolf game.

I have the SubZero 9.0* with Rogue Silver shaft. Has been insanely good.
