Golf Driver Reviews | 2011 Men's Clubs (2)

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

"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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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% ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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!" ...

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 ...

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. ...
