Men's Drivers | Golf Club Reviews
Let the big dog eat! For me, these are the most fun clubs to swing. If you don’t feel the same way, then this summary is especially for you.
The 1st thing I look for in a driver is something with a big ol’ forgiving clubhead, but not so huge that it looks like I could be ironing my clothes with it. I also am more partial to the traditional pear shaped clubs (see below) then the crazy geometric shapes, but that’s just my personal preference, some of my friends really love the new aerodynamic clubhead designs.
Aerodynamics – For those of you less interested in choosing the shape of your ball flight and just looking to hit it straight and long consistently, I would recommend trying one of these clubs shaped like a jet wing. My two favorites are the Taylormade Burner SuperFast and the Adams Speedline Fast 10.
Adjustable – Another great advancement in driver technology is the adjustable driver head. I was late to get on this train, but now I’m leading the charge as well as most of the low handicappers that I play with. The most popular is the Taylormade R9. My good friend Brian bought one of these about two months ago. He adjusted the driver head slightly closed. When his typical fade became a draw he added 20 yards to his drives. (It is not something that I am really excited about, because he is hitting it further than me now.) I also like the adjustable Mizuno MP-630 FastTrack.
Workable – Finally for those of you who like to make the ball talk and adjust your ball flight to the specific hole, you should stay away from the gargantuan driver heads. Titleist still is the best choice for playability. The traditional pear shape 909s are the way to go. The 909D2 is the bigger of the two at 460cc. The 909D3 has a smaller 440cc clubhead that provides for a lower launch angle and the ultimate in workability.

Milled Graphite w/ Adjustable Hosel
This Cobra ZL is a sick long! In the pursuit of more yards, Cobra uses all the latest technology to build this monster driver. Let's take a look at what they've done.
The designers took out titanium and added graphite in the crown and sole sections so that the ...
Adjustable 460 cc Clubhead
This is the big-headed version of the popular R9 TP Driver. The maxed-out 460cc adjustable driver gives you the adjustability of a ginormous clubface.
With TaylorMade's Flight Control Technology (FCT), you can change the head to eight different positions. FCT will give you up to 40 yards of ...
Titanium MP 630 w/ Fubuki Shaft
This Mizuno MP 630 Fasttrack is another one of those adjustable drivers. It has the most options of any of the drivers I've seen so far. With ten different positions for two 8-gram weights, the MP630 has 45 different trajectory settings. Wow!
It's pretty easy ...
Fujikura Diesel Shaft
"Don't swing angry!" as my golf buddy, Joe, is fond of saying. Usually, he mutters this sarcastic statement after I just three-jacked the previous hole. Ironically enough, some of my straightest, longest drives come when I'm fuming over a three putt.
This Rage Driver makes no bones ...
Tungsten Red XCG-3 460cc
You are looking at the Tour Edge XCG-3. This is a high tech work of modern engineering. Hence the large price tag. It's my job to tell you what you are getting…
This is a big freaking driver that hits the ball a mile.
Any questions?
Alright, here's what's ...
Adjustable Weights Supertri R9
This club is a bit pricey, but for good reason. Owning this driver is like owning five or six different drivers, because it has TaylorMade's Flight Control Technology (FCT). FCT will give you up to 75 yards of right-left variance, 3 degrees of variance in ...
Extra Long Lightweight SuperFast 460
Now that club makers have maxed out the size of our drivers, the latest trend is aerodynamics. How else are we going to add clubhead speed to those toaster ovens on the end of a stick?
The TaylorMade Burner SuperFast uses extra length and extra speed to give you ...
Titanium 440cc Low Spin Handicap
Ahh, I love a Titleist Driver. Let's just get this out there: I'm a Titleist guy. (No, I'm not paid by them -- but if they want to make me an offer, I'd oblige.) However, I've played more Titleist clubs than any other ...
Adjustable Custom STR8-Fit for Long Distance
Vroom Vroom. You're looking at a Ferrari. This bad boy looks like it can really go, too! The question is: can you handle it?
Let's take a closer look. The ball really jumps off of the face of this driver. The high MOI combined with ...
Adjustable Weight 430cc Stiff Shaft
With all the gargantuan 460cc drivers, this R9 TP is a breath of fresh air with its 430CC head. I like this Taylormade R9 TP Driver because it's a more compact club head. What happened to actually trying to work the ball with your driver instead ...
Titanium 460cc High Loft Starburst
Hey, check it out: If you purchase this driver, you get a free pack of Starbursts! Mmmm, yummy. Wait.. Check that. This driver uses something called "Starburst" variable face technology. I'm not sure what this is, but Srixon says it increases the C.O.R. by ...
Diablo Edge 460cc
This Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Driver face was formed using an "acid chemical reduction" process. Wow, talk about hi-tech! I wonder how many scientists it takes to build this thing. This design is to provide consistent ball speeds across the entire clubface.
The Tour version of ...
Long Distance, Easy & Lightweight
I was out playing golf with my buddy Dino last weekend and I noticed he had added this Ping G15 to his bag. I really like the Ping G10 and couldn't wait to hit it. However, I did wait until the first par 5 to ...
Titanium 460, Long Shaft Stiff or Regular
This driver is the best driver that you've never heard of. Fourteen is a company out of Japan that's been around for 30 years, but it's just now bursting on the scene in America. You are going to want to get this driver in ...
Milled Thin Adjustable Hosel
This Cobra S2 Driver has a huge, hot face! The driver is specifically designed to give you the same ball speed across the entire giant clubface.
The way they accomplish this is with their "9-point Face Technology." Let me explain. (Please turn in your text books ...
Weighted for High Speed & Distance
Sing it with me, "He's going the distance... He's going for speed." (Don't know that one?)
It's all about speed with the new drivers these days. This FT-iZ is triangular-shaped. This crazy shape is for aerodynamics. With driver heads getting bigger and bigger, the club ...
High MOI Swing Speed
Two of the best golfers that I play with, both bought one of these Ping G10 drivers last year. Joe and Nick are both single digit handicappers, that have very quick swing speeds and they hit the ball a mile.
The two biggest reasons this club is so popular is because ...
Mens Golf Club for Mid to Low Handicap
Here's a beautiful Bridgestone Driver. I'm a big fan of the traditional-shaped drivers, and this one meets my tastes. It still is a huge 460cc clubhead, and the rigid sole reduces driver spin and promotes a higher launch angle for maximum carry.
My favorite thing about the club ...
Insider Thriver, Weighted w/ Short Shaft
Here's an interesting take on a game-improving driver. This Acer XDS is like a cross between a driver and a 3-wood. The design is based on the idea that the shorter, more lofted 3 wood is easier to hit and more consistent than your driver. ...
High Handicap Golf Clubs for Loft, Low Spin
This is Titleist's most forgiving driver. I usually think of Titleist as a player's brand. Their stuff seems to be geared more for the low handicappers. But this big ol' 909 D Comp is designed for you higher handicappers that are looking for a large ...
Weighted for Low Spin & Flight
You are looking at Ping's premier driver. The Ping i15 is a treat to swing if you like to play different shots off the tee with your driver. Wait, who does that? (I mean besides Tiger.) Most of us are just trying ...
SQ 69 Series, Adjustable Dynamic MOI
Check out this DYMO² Str8-Fit Driver... Dymo stands for "Dynamic MOI" and the STR8-FIT technology is an adjustable fitting system that gives you eight different clubface lie angles.
Let's start with the MOI. This driver has a rear "PowerBow" which gets thicker as the loft increases from 8.5 ...
Shaun Micheel 2003 PGA Tour
Anybody remember the 2003 PGA Championship won by Shaun Micheel? "Shaun who," you ask? With a one shot lead on 18, he almost holed out his 7-iron from the rough, leaving it just two inches for the win!
Mr. Micheel had one of these Cleveland Launchers in his ...
Extra Large Clubhead
This driver really is a monster! Cleveland has maxed out the USGA limits for dimensions (5" x 5".) Good thing for the USGA, or we'd all be swinging drivers the size of toaster ovens!
This is one of the most forgiving clubs out there and Cleveland's broadest hitting area. ...
Titanium Clubhead
You're looking at the Big Bertha Diablo. I know very little Spanish, but I'm pretty sure "Diablo" means "Devil." Now why would a club maker name their new driver "the devil?" I usually reserve this terminology for clubs I just chucked into the woods.
Perhaps it's because the ...
Aerodynamic for High Speed, Distance, MOI
"GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!" No, this isn't a race car -- it's a driver. Now that clubmakers have maxed out head size and MOI, what's next, you ask? Aerodynamics!
With these big ol' 460cc geometric drivers designed for forgiveness and a sweet spot the size of ...
Titanium Adjustable Club Head | SureFit Swingweight Screw
When I think of a Titleist driver, I usually think of a players club designed for workability. But this isn't the case with this 909 D2 Driver. This driver features a low and deep center of gravity designed for reduced spin, higher MOI, and long, straight drives.
The clubhead is ...
Weighted Tungsten Clubhead | Milled Titanium Face
This Men's Ping Rapture Driver is hot. It's the next generation of the enormously popular Ping G10. The club head is very similar to the G10 as well. Crescent-shape tungsten weights have been added in the heel and toe of the sole to move the weight ...
Tour Neutral Advanced Low Handicap
You're looking at Callaway's most advanced driver. This is the next generation of the FT-5 with a composite frame 7 percent longer from front to back and uses six different materials to move the center of gravity low and deep.
The FT-9 has "Hyperbolic Face Technology" and "Fusion Technology." The HFT ...
5 Iron, Driver, 3 DVD
Here's a great gift idea for the golf addict in your life. The Medicus, for my money, is the best swing trainer on the market. This set comes with two clubs, the 5 Iron and the Driver. The 5 Iron is a little easier to swing than ...
Adjustable Weight Inverted Core
I haven't quite figured out the whole "movable weight" thing yet.
This driver, the TaylorMade R7 Limited 440CC driver is made by my favorite company for drivers. In fact, I recently reviewed my favorite one here.
But as stated above, the adjustments that can allow me to change trajectories up to 35 ...
Weighted Training Aid w/ Grip Correction
Here is another weighted golf club that is designed to help us with our swing plane. It also has one of those sculpted-out grips that will teach you the proper hand position. The concept of this club is the added weight; you are more prone to use ...
High Speed, Large Clubface
When it comes to drivers we've seen a lot of different shapes and sizes. How about a spine?
Yes, a driver with a spine. This is the claim to fame of this Wilson Staff driver. The concept being that the spine, or ridge line, adds force to the face behind ...
Grip Correction Trainer
The marketing for this Kallassy Swing Magic Driver starts by quoting "legendary" golf instructor Bob Toski who said, "With the golf swing, you have to learn to feel the force, not force the feel."
That reminds me of a quote by "legendary" golf writer Robert Ludwig who once said, "With stupid cliché ...
Heavy Weighted Club | Sean Fister Beast
I usually don't really listen too much to guys with nicknames like "The Beast." Well, that is, unless I am alone in a dark alley with him. In that case, I'm all ears.
Here's another case where I might have to tune in. The "Beast" who I'm referring to here ...
Large Club Face XLS
Holy cow! This is a huge freaking driver. This XLS driver is slightly smaller than a tennis racket. If you can't hit the ball with this colossal thing, then you might want to get your eyes checked.
This monster driver is 17% bigger than the HiBore XL and has a 13% ...
Air Force One Players Club Nitrogen
N is the symbol for Nitrogen. Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and mostly inert diatomic gas at standard conditions, constituting a 78% volume of the Earth's atmosphere.
Why am I telling you this? Nitrogen is what PowerBilt has infused in their Air Force Once Players Driver. Since nitrogen ...
Large Carbon Titanium Square Head
If I told you that I created something taking the technology from stealth bombers and Formula 1 racing cars, you'd probably think I was talking about a space ship. Nope, it's a golf club.
The FT-iQ Tour Driver is Callaway's latest golden child. This bad boy has more cutting ...
Men’s Geometric Driver | Nitrogen Thin Club Head
Anybody remember that movie Real Genius with Val Kilmer? There's a great scene where Val pulls out a thermos full of liquid nitrogen that houses a column of dry ice. His character, being a super genius, cuts a sliver of the dry ice in the exact shape and size ...
Medicus Golf Training Driver | Dual Hinged 460cc
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!" ...
Light Weight Men’s Club
The TaylorMade Men's Burner 460 Ti Driver is, simply put, an exceptional golf club. While it doesn't aim to change the industry in any major way, it brings enough small innovations to the table to stake its claim as one of the best drivers on the market.
The most spectacular ...
Dual Inverted 450 cc
Ever notice how when you hit a particular club, well it becomes suddenly very dear to you? They can come and go in seasons. For a while, I felt like playing every shot from my 5 iron. No idea why. I just hit it well every time. ...
Square Drivers.
What are we doing? Is nothing safe? Can we not do anything traditional anymore? Must we always try for the next big thing? Must we always be so different and innovative?
Absolutely. This is America, and we're just like that. And we're cool. ...
