The driver is the source of such frustration and satisfaction all wrapped into one. Every hole you walk up to whether its 300 yards or 600 yards, the driver calls to you from the bag, “C’mon, let me at ‘em!” If you are on your game then your driver is your best friend. If you are not, a divorce lawyer will be in your future and you will find yourself back at your favorite golf shop (or zipgolfer.com) looking for a new love. For this category I’ve broken it out into two categories: Aerodynamic and Adjustable.
This could also be classified as game improvement. These aerodynamic drivers are designed to be big and forgiving. My two favorites in this category are the Taylormade Lady Burner driver and the Adams Speedline F10 driver. Both of these models are shaped to reduce drag so that when you swing these colossal driver heads the wind resistance won’t slow down your swing speed. What I like best about them is they instill lots of confidence at address. You can’t imagine not being able to knock that golf ball into the next time zone. Also the Callaway Diablo Octane gets honorable mention. It’s not aerodynamic but is extremely game improving. It’s the newest technology in the market right now.
I have to admit I didn’t really appreciate the adjustable drivers until my buddy Brian showed up with one during our weekly fourball. He usually hits a high fade that finishes on average 10 yards short of my drive. He bought a Taylormade R9 and adjusted the clubface closed. Now he hits a low draw that goes just as far as my drive and sometimes farther. DOH! Ladies check out the R9 Lady Supertri Driver.
As golfers, we are all -- or most of us anyway – searching for that extra length in our shots, but none more so than the driver. If you have followed golf club technology with even the barest of glances over the past few years, you’ve seen some remarkable improvements in ...
Want more distance? You have to step on the gas. Callaway and Lamborghini (the Italian car company) have teamed up to bring you the strongest, lightest, most precise material ever used in a golf club. It's a forged composite. The material is lighter then titanium ...
This is Cleveland's HiBore designed specifically for the ladies. It is the biggest one Cleveland makes. It is 17 percent larger then the Hibore XL with 13 percent greater MOI.
This is by far one of the most forgiving drivers you will swing. I like the looks of ...
The name Yonex doesn't exactly scream great golf equipment to me. I used to have an old Yonex tennis racket when I was 16. It was pretty good. Yonex makes badminton rackets as well. I don't really know a whole lot about badminton. ...
This is the '09 Hyper X Lady's driver built with Callaway's Hyperbolic Face Technology (HFT) and S2H2 technology. The driver is huge and extremely forgiving.
The "S2H2" means they've actually removed weight from the hosel to be used elsewhere. This way, they can pack ...
I've jumped on the bandwagon of these adjustable drivers, and I think they are especially helpful to beginners and ladies. This Dymo 2 Driver is a great driver for the price. I can't believe that you can buy an adjustable Nike driver for this cheap. Although ...
This Nike Lady SQ Machspeed driver is one of my favorite drivers for ladies and beginners (and especially lady beginners). The Machspeed is square to raise the MOI of the club. In addition, it is aerodynamic and adjustable.
Let's start with my favorite part: the adjustability. ...
This driver is $28. How the heck can they do that? They are giving these things away. I paid more for my last golf shirt then this golf club. Let's take a closer look:
This driver's big claim to fame is its maxed-out C.O.R. ...
Isn't this precious? It's a pink driver. It's from a company named V-Series. Pehaps the "V" is for valentine. Nope, I checked the fine print, and it doesn't come with a box of chocolates.
Let's take a closer look at this feminine driver. It is square-shaped ...
How do you improve swing speeds without shrinking the size of those huge, colossal driver heads? You make them more aerodynamic, that's how.
The Adams Lady Speedline F10 Driver is specifically shaped to reduce drag. The crown of the driver has been reshaped so that the peak height is ...
The Lady Diablo Edge is the most weight-efficient titanium driver that Callaway has ever made. It has a four-piece modular design that moves the bulk of the weight to the back of the club. Every piece of the club is precision-formed and fused together to give ...
If you are weekend warrior and are looking for a darn good driver for a reasonable price, ladies, this is a good choice. With its large 460cc driver head and offset hosel, this driver is designed for high to mid handicappers.
The offset hosel will help you ...
I dare you to try and slice the ball with this driver. The Cobra S2 is offset to help you close that clubface at impact and have the ball fly straight, and maybe even draw a little bit.
The biggest claim to fame of this driver is the 9-point ...
This is a great driver for you mid to high handicap ladies. It is designed to be easy to swing and very forgiving.
The things I like best about this driver are the draw biased weighting and the high loft. (Make sure you get the 13 degree.) ...
This is a good price for a modern driver built to be extremely forgiving. Ladies, if you have been eyeballing the new, larger drivers, you might want to dive in on this '09 TaylorMade Burner.
The first thing you've probably already noticed by looking at the picture is that ...
The clubhead of this Burner SuperFast looks to me like the wing of a fighter jet. Or better yet, one of those Droids that the air force uses to spy on people. You heard it here first, I guarantee a club maker is going to come out with ‘The ...
I'm licking my chops looking at this driver. This is easily my favorite new driver of 2010, and I really like it for the ladies, especially because of the adjustable head with the movable weight technology.
Most of you probably have already realized that the biggest thing we all struggle ...
Look at this crazy looking club with the hinge on the shaft. It's one of those Medicus swing trainers and yes, it works.
It takes a little patience because the first time you swing this thing you are going to look pretty foolish. The club shaft has a dual hinge ...
You've seen the infomercials on the golf channel. Up late, can't sleep, so you flip on the boob tube and there's Mark O'Meara swinging that Medicus golf club. You are thinking, "Hmmm I wonder if that thing works?" and "I betcha I could swing that club without the hinge breaking!" ...
