Distance
Perfect driver for:
Mid-to-high handicappers who want a forgiving driver that helps them bomb the ball further.

Designed for maximum forgiveness, the Ping G425 Max Driver boasts the highest Moment of Inertia ever in a Ping driver. This translates to straighter, longer shots on off-center hits, ideal for golfers seeking more distance and accuracy off the tee. The G425 driver features a lightweight, aerodynamic design for increased clubhead speed and a 26-gram tungsten movable weight for personalized shot shaping.

The Ping G425 Max Driver is all about blasting bombs down the fairway, even on mishits. It's got a forged titanium face designed to increase ball speeds on off-center hits. I love the clean, aerodynamic look at address. Ping incorporated their Dragonfly Technology in the design to make the club lighter and faster swinging, which can help generate more clubhead speed for more yards. They come in a few different loft options, so you can find the right fit for your launch preferences. Overall, if you're a golfer who prioritizes forgiveness and wants to add some serious yardage to your drives, the Ping G425 Max Driver is a top performer.

Distance
Perfect driver for:
Golfers seeking maximum distance with exceptional forgiveness.

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Driver offers golfers maximum distance and forgiveness. Its 60X Carbon Cast Crown is lighter than titanium, providing a lower center of gravity for better launch and off-center performance. The Inertia Generator technology allows for customizable launch and trajectory, with a slight draw bias for improved accuracy.

This club is all about bombs off the tee. It's got a large, 460cc clubhead with a neutral flight bias, so you can work the ball both ways. The real magic is in the carbon face, it generates serious ball speed on even off-center hits. Some golfers might find the large head size to be a bit much at first, and it isn't the most adjustable driver on the market, but I think the forgiveness and distance gains are worth it. If you're looking to add some serious yardage to your drives, the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Driver is a strong contender.

Mid-to-high handicappers who want more power and accuracy without needing complicated adjustability features.

The TaylorMade M2 Driver, launched in 2016, transformed distance and forgiveness for golfers. Its large clubface and lightweight composite crown lower the center of gravity for longer, straighter drives, even on mishits.

Accuracy/Control
Forgiveness
Distance
Perfect driver for:
Golfers who prioritize distance off the tee and forgiveness on off-center hits.

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Driver prioritizes distance and forgiveness for golfers seeking maximum power with added help finding the fairway. A key feature is the revolutionary 60X Carbon Cast Crown. This innovative technology utilizes a lightweight carbon fiber construction that saves weight compared to traditional titanium drivers. The weight saved is strategically redistributed to create a lower centre of gravity (CG) for a potentially higher launch and more forgiveness on off-center hits. The standard draw bias design with a moveable weight track also allows further customization to promote a straighter ball flight.

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Driver is all about blasting bombs down the fairway, even on mishits. It's got a massive 460cc clubhead with a draw bias to help straighten out slices, and a new carbon face that's designed to increase ball speeds on off-center hits. I also love the sleek red and black design. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some other drivers on the market in terms of adjustability, but most I think the sheer forgiveness and distance gains are worth a little extra getting used to.

Perfect driver for:
Golfers looking to add more distance and accuracy to their drives.

The TaylorMade Qi10 Driver offers golfers distance and forgiveness with its lightweight 60X Carbon Twist Face, enhancing ball speeds and performance on off-center strikes. Its lower center of gravity and higher Moment of Inertia improve forgiveness, while the adjustable loft sleeve allows for trajectory adjustments.

The TaylorMade Qi10 Driver boasts a massive bump in forgiveness compared to its predecessor. It has a clean look behind the ball, feels solid, and well-balanced at address. Some golfers might find the lack of an adjustable hosel a turn-off, and it isn't the cheapest driver on the market. But for the vast majority of golfers who prioritize forgiveness and distance in a driver, the TaylorMade Qi10 Driver is a strong option.

Titleist TSi3

Accuracy/Control
Forgiveness
Distance
Perfect driver for:
Players who create consistent contact and require more precise control over CG placement.

The Titleist TSi3 Driver caters to golfers who value a compact shape and adjustable weighting. Its Speed Chassis design enhances energy transfer, and the SureFit CG track offers five custom positions for ball flight optimization. Ideal for low-handicap players seeking distance or mid-handicap golfers wanting control, the TSi3 can boost performance.

The Titleist TSi3 Driver is a game-changer for golfers seeking workability and distance in a premium package. This driver isn't for everyone, though. It's designed for better players who prioritize control over pure forgiveness. It packs a punch with a large, 460cc clubhead, but it feels smaller and sleeker at address than some drivers thanks to its classic shape. The focus here is on precision and shot-shaping, and I love the responsive feel at impact. Some golfers might find the TSi3 a bit less forgiving on mishits compared to some max forgiveness drivers, but I think the distance and workability gains are worth the trade-off.
