Are golf clubs better than 10 years ago?

What piece of equipment has caused the golfer to achieve the greatest increase in distance over the years?

How far should a 70 year old drive a golf ball?
A 70-year-old man should be hitting a driver anywhere from 180 to 190 yards. This number has grown a bit in the last few years with the introduction of improved driver and shaft technology. At 70 years old, some golfers are having no trouble getting the ball to fly 200 yards or more.
Are Pro V1 good for seniors?
