Men's golf drivers

The distance club

The driver is the longest club in the bag, used from the tee on long holes to send the ball as far as possible. Its large head, up to four hundred and sixty cubic centimetres, the limit set by the rules, provides a large hitting area. Modern drivers, made of titanium and carbon, move the masses to increase forgiveness, the ability to forgive off-centre hits.

Other clubs

Men's clubs also come in these types:

• Fairway Woods.
• Hybrids.
• Iron Sets.
• Single Irons.
• Wedges.
• Putters.
• Golf Kit.

All clubs are gathered on the men's clubs page.

Tolerance or control

The Max versions, like the TaylorMade Qi Max Core, maximise forgiveness and launch, ideal for players seeking consistency. Both Srixon ZX Mark II from the Japanese brand offer two profiles: one more forgiving, the other with a more compact head, which gives better trajectory control to skilled players. The choice depends on one's level and the consistency of one's striking.

Key adjustments

The loft, the angle of the face, affects the height and spin of the ball: ten and a half degrees for fast swings, twelve degrees or more for moderate swings, which need to lift the ball. The shaft is crucial: a lightweight graphite shaft, like the Fujikura AirSpeeder, increases head speed for slow swings, while a heavier and stiffer shaft provides control. A fitting remains the best way to find the right settings.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in good plans, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a regular order: Black Friday late autumn, the year-end holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school season.

Frequently asked questions

What loft should I choose for a driver?

Ten to ten and a half degrees are suitable for fast swings, which naturally lift the ball. Slower swings gain distance with twelve degrees or more, like the TaylorMade Qi Max Core, which launches the ball higher.

What shaft flex should I choose for a driver?

Flex is chosen based on swing speed: regular for moderate swings, stiff for fast swings. A shaft that's too stiff sends the ball low, while a shaft that's too soft makes it rise and decreases accuracy.

How to avoid a slice with a driver?

A slice often comes from an open face at impact or a club path from outside to inside. Working on a firmer grip and an inside-out swing, and using a very forgiving driver can also reduce ball curvature.

What does a lightweight shaft do for a driver?

A lightweight shaft, like the Fujikura AirSpeeder from the TaylorMade Qi Max Core, helps to generate more head speed without effort, gaining distance. It's suitable for moderate swings, less so for powerful hitters who seek control.

How to tell if a driver is forgiving?

A forgiving driver has a large head and a high moment of inertia, with weights placed at the back and around the edges. Off-centre hits therefore lose less distance and direction, which is a benefit for improving players.
