A perplexing journey to be sure. In search of the wild and elusive best golf driver.

One that will not only look impressive, but will deliver the goods for you.

After all, it’s nice to impress, and maybe intimidate, when you first pull that bad boy golf driver out of the your golf bag and remove the head cover, but all of this will be short lived if you then proceed to launch your drive into the nebulous zone.

Let’s face it, for most golfers; it’s all about the impressive drive. Hammering the ball down the fairway.

The driver and what it represents and does is golf’s nemesis for beginning golfers and those of inflated handicaps. Yet, although this is the most difficult golf club in your arsenal, you still want to learn to hit it first. A bit of a conundrum to be sure. Yet is power that the club wields that drive us to such insanity.

And manufacturers are more than accommodating to feed your ego. They are constantly coming up with and improving the golf driver design in order to deliver the golf ball further and more accurate toward its intended target.  

Today, golf club driver heads are rivaling the size of those toy plastic drivers you had as a kid. The one’s with the huge sweet spot. After all the point is, don’t worry about how marginal your swing is. Just make contact baby.

Many of the big oversized drivers are built to the largest legal size as defined by PGA rules and regulations. Combining the super sized head with today’s technology that keeps the club actually light enough to swing and you’re standing on the first tee with a loaded howitzer. Today’s ultra sized, ultra light, and a trampoline for a face will launch you golf ball long and high… even into the woods or the next fairway. But you don’t care if that happens… no, not at all because it still looks impressive damn it.

So, what is the best golf driver? Easy, one that works for you. If you are just starting out or still working and making larger changes to your golf swing and understanding of said swing, be advised that your swing will evolve greatly.

So, with this in mind let’s hold off on dropping some major bucks on that monster driver and let your swing settle a bit into place first. Matching golf clubs to your swing is difficult enough after your swing changes and your learning curve have leveled off. Don’t break your budget on driver right out of the gate. Consider, getting yourself a used driver, or clone or knock-off to take you through the early stages.

Once you gained more confidence in your swing and you feel that you have reached a level where your swing maintains a fairly consistent plane and tempo, then go out and get that bad boy driver and lock and load!
