Talk to many of the guys on the senior tour. Many of them are playing as well or better than they did on the regular tour because of equipment and despite their aging bodies. Most all of them hit it further (or just as far) than they ever did when they were younger.
The newer drivers and more importantly the ball have been the biggest factors in this.
But as we all know, the better players differentiate themselves with their short games and putting. This is where it takes the most skill and finesse and it really doesn't matter much what kind of club you are using. I would say there are a lot of players benefiting from better equipment tee to green - but if they have no short game or can't putt then their scores will never show it.
My first clubs were Pings. Then I went to Mizuno MP29's and loved them. I'm now playing the Titleist 704 CB's which feel great and give me a tad more forgiveness and distance than the 29's. I'd rather hit an 8 iron into a green than a 7 iron because the shorter club gives me that much more control.
Having said all of that, blades sure do feel nice!
