Today's drivers are large, long and jacked full of new technology. We're here to help you discover the perfect driver so you can launch the ball a mile.

What Drives The Driver?

In all of the sports that don't require a motor, nowhere has the effect of technology been more apparent than in golf. The challenge of increasing performance through technology rather than technique while remaining within the bounds of the rules of the game has actually resulted in those rules having to adapt to the achievements of the techno geeks.

Much of the concentration of golfing’s tech revolution has been directed toward the driver. The “big stick” is the go-to club to start a hole as many as 14 times a round, and as such no club has as much potential to influence a rounds success. An extra twenty yards off the tee can effectively cut a respectable 7200-yard course to a very moderate 6900, carving precious strokes off the scorecard and ultimately the handicap.

Callaway FT-iZ

If it’s true that sex sells, Callaway has a winner. Sitting in the rack at your favorite golf retailer, the Callaway FT-iZ gives a come-hither wink to anyone that has ever even casually picked up a golf club and imagined themselves on the first tee at Oakmont.

An amalgamation of every material currently in use to manufacture drivers, the FT-iZ is a technological phenomenon. Cast titanium, cast steel, compression cured carbon fiber and formed aluminum are all incorporated to create a balled fist intended to be longer and straighter than anything Calloway has ever created. Not exactly a novel goal, but certainly one worth pursuing. Keeping all this potential energy under control is served by keeping the shaft length to a reasonable 45-inches, rather than searching for distance by simply increasing the swing arc. The shaft is a balance matched Aldila Voo Doo model, and can be selected in regular, stiff and extra stiff. Continue reading Callaway FT-iZ Review

TaylorMade R9 Driver Review

If Walter Mitty was a golf club, he would be the Taylor Made R9 driver. Designed to be the most adaptable, adjustable stick off the tee, this is the ultimate piece of golf club paraphernalia so far created for the terminal tweaker.

If you want an introduction to all the tech innovations brought to bear on the driver in the last 5 years, now you need to buy only one club to satisfy your curiosity. With the incorporation of three adjustable weights spread out across the back of the head, the chronic heel striker can shift the sweet spot of the head to make heel striking a positive benefit. Got a slice that you simply can’t master? Simply remove the shaft and adjust its rotation to overcome your pesky lack of technique. Continue reading TaylorMade R9 Driver Review
