If not, then your driver will give you a real good idea of what you can expect from the new driver the store is selling. That's how you defeat any store that turns up the numbers with the monitor. Hit YOUR driver side by side with the new ones.

I'm also thinking it was a typing error when he typed 350 yards. Could it be he meant to type 250 yards? not 350?
Oneputt,
that is what I did I took my driver and hit it first on the monitor and was hitting it what I do on the course 220 to 230 then hit the new cobra and gained the 30 yards did the same on the range with same results. So the monitor in my opinion was pretty close.
