How to Know What Defines the Best Golf Drivers
By John Bolt
Why is it considered the most electrifying club
in your golf bag? Why is it the first club anyone
talks about when equipment is brought up? Why is
it what everyone wants?
The answers are simple - POWER. It’s all about
the power of the long ball. The golfer who drives
the ball the furthest is considered the man of
the moment, and everyone wants to be that man. I
guess it’s an ego thing.
This mind game is played among all golfers form
beginner to professional. It is on of the main
driving forces behind the design of today’s best
golf drivers.
The manufacturers are continually
coming up with newer and better drivers that go
further and straighter than the competition. They
come in all shapes and sizes with the bigger is
better attitude coming out on top.
A lot of the big oversized drivers are built to
the largest legal size specifications under PGA
rules and regulations. Combine that with the
ultra thin super springy club faces. What you get
is a kind of loaded canon. These clubs launch the
golf balls high in the air and really long. We
must emphasize really LONG.
A lot of the club makers have even taken the
grooves off the clubfaces around the sweet spot
areas. This is to reduce spin and allow the ball
more distance with less resistance. What this
also causes is less accuracy off the tee. But
most golfers are willing to give up a little
accuracy for more distance.
Now if you throw in the new technology in today’s
golf shafts it gets a little crazy. With all the
different types of graphite, the raised and
lowered flex and kick points, and now even
tipping it almost seems out of control.
Wow, that’s getting crazy. There is such a huge
amount of possible grip, shaft, and club head
combinations it can be confusing to the average
golfer. But not to worry, there are a ton of
great resources out there to get you fitted
correctly.
