There is no greater feeling than catching a drive right out of the centre of the clubface and watching it sail off into the distance towards the short grass.
The game of golf has become more and more about driving the golf ball not only long, but straight and equipment companies have engaged in something of an arms race to produce models for every player from Tour pro to weekend hacker to create their best drives.
With so many options from every company, we assembled a team of testers of varying handicaps, swing types and club preferences to run through as many options as possible from the current offerings to shed some light on what works for who.
And, in doing so, perhaps it will help you find your own new driver that will have you hitting it past your regular playing partners and shooting lower scores in 2023.
THE MODELS TESTED
In an exercise like this there are endless options to put through the testing process and we set out to run a wide variety of models from various brands for a one stop driver test.
WE TESTED:
• Callaway Paradym range
• Cobra AEROJET range
• PING G430 range
• Srixon ZX MKII range
• TaylorMade Stealth2 range
• Titleist TSR range
• Tour Edge Exotics E722
• Wilson Staff Dynapower Carbon
A thank you to Drummond Golf at Stanmore, Sydney, and franchise owner Craig Delaney for the use of their Big Swing simulators to conduct the testing.
