I did pick a new driver again and added a suggested grip (don't even know what brand either are lol), and with doing that twice my distance that it shows from the tee went up from 274 to 285, so unless that is BS, at least choosing different clubs gives you different attributes, distances, etc. At least it appears that way.

I played a quick round and am now averaging about 310 from the tee, so it does seem to have increased it a bit. So ya, I think you're right...just different clubs and fittings have different attributes but the brands themselves are just cosmetic, and I assume they have different attributes to them as well just "off the rack". Anyway, enough of that...I'm cool with my gear, myplayer look, and I am enjoying the new gameplay changes.

But wow...the more you play this game...it's a *very* incremental upgrade unless you care about playing as a pro. I do like the tiebreakers, though.
