If you're not trying out new clubs at Demo Day, did you really attend? 
Gavin Parker, PGA, tested three brand-new drivers that just hit the market. He first got his hands on the Titleist TSR 2. The club’s updated shape reduces drag, and a new face increases clubhead speed with another layer of forgiveness. 
Parker then uses Srixon's ZX5LS. The “LS” stands for low spin, an emphasis point on the driver. With the weight placed closer to the front of the club face, ZX5LS boasts an even lower trajectory for more penetrating shots.

Parker wrapped up his Demo & Fitting Day testing with a takeoff, ripping Cobra's new Aerojet driver. As the name implies, it's got a need for speed. Opposite Srixon's weight positioning, the Aerojet's weight is in the back of the club head for ideal launch and ball speed.
