There are plenty of drivers out there on the market. Some are going to be better than others. If you’re confused by the various models, here are five which have been generally well-received and which cover a wide range of player preferences and standards.

Ping G5 Prolaunch 65

Ping have long had a reputation as one of the top manufacturers of golf clubs, and the G5 Prolaunch 65 is a good demonstration of why this reputation is deserved. The club features the biggest head currently permitted – 460 cc – and a low centre of gravity, which gives players the ideal combination of less spin and a higher angle when blasting the ball into orbit.

TaylorMade r7 460

TaylorMade were the first company to seriously introduce weighting systems into drivers. The r7 460 is no different and is an excellent club for players whose handicap is in the 10 to 20 range. The aim of these weights is to modify the club to your preferences so that the errors you make are minimized. Depending on the type of dtrive you want to achieve, you will use one of the six available settings.

Nike Sumo Squared 5900

A lot of golfing technology has been poured into this club, and the results show it. The Sumo Squared is designed to be exceptionally forgiving on mishits or off center shots. Like many drivers, it also features a weighting system to allow the player to adjust the distribution of weight to achieve a better initial drive. It also has a better sound at impact, as the previous model had come in for criticism for having a loud, “clattering” sound at impact.

Callaway X460

Are you a golfer who has passed “beginner” status, has a handicap of around 20 or a little above, and is looking for a solid base for their game, the Callaway X460 fits the bill. It features a slightly closed face, which helps to reduce slice, and like other high quality drivers, is designed to be forgiving on shots which are not hit dead center. This is especially useful for a club with a target market like this one.

Kane Golf Big Easy

Making light of the idea that a good club has to cost a lot of money, the Big Easy from Kane is a quality driver which carries a lower price tag than many drivers which are of equal quality. It can match most of its contemporaries in terms of driving distance, and initial height (trajectory) while coming in at a significantly lower price.
