Recently, a question came in from reader Kirby W. about whether drivers get slower with use:

For several years, maybe decades, my course buddies and their dads talk about drivers losing their “pop.” My question is, can a driver lose its “pop” or explosiveness as years go by similar to a wedge losing its grooves? If so, what are those timelines like?

This is a fascinating question, partly because it highlights one of golf’s persistent myths. “My driver just doesn’t bomb it like it used to!” Maybe it’s you who’s lost speed (although I’m generally onboard with blaming the equipment).

Drivers get faster

Given time and use, many drivers will experience what’s called CT creep. This is basically your driver face becoming more flexible over time. That spring-like effect that the USGA constantly tries to police? It actually gets springier.

In other words, drivers typically get FASTER with use.

Over the past couple of years, we’ve had some fun debating and discussing the Rules of Golf.

There was a heated discussion about whether golfers deserve free relief from fairway divots (they don’t), an article about common sense golf rules for recreational hackers, some golf rules that should change and the weirdest golf rules we know.

I’m largely a defender of golf rules. The game can’t be distilled into a handful of rules. There are complications that make it impossible to do so.

Could it get simpler? Absolutely. Have the rules improved over time? Yes.

But this is still a game played outside. Unusual things happen and not every scenario is straightforward.

When a $599 or $650 driver ends up at the top of a high swing speed test, no one bats an eye. That’s just how this usually goes. The biggest brands, the most marketing, and the most premium tech typically dominate the top spots, especially for players with speed.

But sometimes, something unexpected slips into the conversation.

The Sub 70 859 didn’t just show up in the 2025 Most Wanted Driver test; it earned its spot. Let’s take a closer look and see if the Sub 70 859 could be for you.

Sub 70 859

Among the 37 drivers tested at 105-plus mph swing speeds, the Sub 70 859 finished second overall for accuracy. Only the PING G440 SFT was more accurate. It also posted balanced forgiveness numbers and finished in the top third of the entire test for higher swing speeds.

Accuracy that beats out the premium drivers

The 859 is not only accurate, it’s consistent. For high swing speed players, the extra speed can turn a small miss into a big problem and the Sub 70 859 helps to combat that issue.
