The driver is the most fun club in the bag. It is the club that hits the ball the furthest and it gives the players the most satisfaction when the ball is struck well, but the down side is that it can really get you into trouble when struck offline and it can also cost you a lot of distance if the wrong club is in the bag.
There are many clubs on the market. They are all great clubs, but the secret is to find the one that suits what you are looking for in your game.
There are many drivers that have adjustable shaft setting which can help you design the club to suit your game. Also, there are other drivers that are set with a slight draw bias to help create a draw and to also fight against the player who tends to hit the ball to the right.
A question that you need to ask yourself is, what type of ball flight do you want? Do you want to hit the driver with a ball flight that is low, which helps get more roll than the standard player or would you like to carry the ball most of the way with a only the fraction of the roll?
This can all be achieved by having the right loft, shaft and weight. Many golfers that I see, buy a driver simply because of the strong marketing that the company’s create, but the serious golfers get fitted correctly so they can get the most of their game, especially when there is a hefty investment involved.
I have a program that can give you the most accurate calculation to what driver suits you best. This program is called Trackman. Only last most I invested in the latest version which is used all over the world, especially on the world PGA Tours. This gives players of all standards the most accurate information to get the best driver in their hands.
The driver’s that I highly recommend are: Titleist D2 and D3, Mizuno 650 and JPX Series, Ping K15 and G20, Taylor Made RBZ. The look of the club and the feel of the club is important to many players. This is a good guide to choosing which model you want to move forward in buying, but the shaft is the most important part of the club that will give you the results that you seek.
Seeking the right driver does not mean that your swing needs to change, all it means is that you need to find which driver will suit your swing and give you the maximum out of your game.
It does not matter what level you are as a golfer to get fitted for a driver. You can be off +4 through to 45. Any man or woman can get fitted. Think about what a new driver can do for your game. I know that all serious golfers get fitted…..what reason do you have not to get fitted?
