How to Know What Defines the Best Golf Drivers
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.
