Major Manufacturer’s Golf Drivers This Year
There are so many companies making golf clubs currently. Every company have so many models which makes for many combinations. If you are a golfer, are you able to pick out the right golf clubs for yourself?
Every company has their own technology which is different than others. Read more to find out about the popular club manufacturers.
Cobra Golf may not be the most popular manufacturer out there but it makes a great driver called the Cobra S9-1. Having a street price of $300, it’s not the most expensive driver but it delivers real results. In fact, this driver won the Hot List 2009 gold award for drivers under $300.
Adams Golf sponsors Tom Watson and is known with its amazing hybrid technology. The Adams Speedline though is its great new driver that has captured the hearts of many, including the Hot List 2009 as it won gold. The rounded sole takes getting used to because it might rock back and forth at address off the tee but once you get used to it, expect to hit it looooong.
Callaway Golf is really pushing the envelope with its high end drivers (all its 2009 models are over $350 a piece). They made two drivers. One with a more traditional shape (FT-9) and one a square shape (FT-IQ). Both are amazingly long and Phil is already using the FT-9. He’s not trying crazy things like two drivers though anymore but who knows as he might use the drivers to chip.
Nike Golf has steadily made it into one of the most popular golf manufacturers by signing up Tiger Woods, Anthony Kim and others. In fact, Nike sponsored many of the top golfers in the world and has many amazing drivers.
Titleist was once the king of irons but they’ve lost a tad of prestige in recent years as other manufacturers have caught up with technology and fame. During the last year though, Titleist’s 90X series of drivers have again captured the hearts of many. In fact, the 909D2 is amongst the best drivers (as selected by Golf Digest in The Hot List 2009 gold award for drivers over $350).
Ping engineered a low spin, low launch angle driver in the Ping Rapture V2. With its nFlight fitting system, you will for sure find a great shaft combo that fits you perfectly with this driver. The green on the Ping Rapture V2 driver is great as well.
Taylormade golf is great because you can actually buy the drivers at Costco for an even better price than it is sold anywhere. The driver is nothing but quality though though. Just watch out for its increased length because it is much of the reason why the ball is going farther.
Cleveland used to be very closed to my old office, but they moved and create the Cleveland Launcher series. Years later, I still play the Launcher 460 Comp from a few years ago and it’s simply amazing. There’s no fitting system from Cleveland though which is a huge disappointment, considering that this is the hottest area in the golf industry right now.
