Buying Guide for a New Driver

So you want to replace the big dog? Tired of those weak, fading 200 yarders and searching for a driver that will crush the ball 350 yards? Well that probably won’t happen. Unless you’re upgrading from a driver that is still made of wood, you probably won’t find much distance increase in the technology of today. New drivers won’t hit the ball far for you. What you will find, are drivers that make hitting the ball easier. As all golfers know a club that is easier to hit will inspire the confidence you need to step it up to the next level and start bombing those drives. 

Modern drivers have come a long way from the wooden counterparts. Today’s drivers are metal monsters. Just about all big name drivers of today are 400cc or above with a good majority of them coming to us at the USGA’s 460cc limit. (For those who don’t know cc= cubic centimeters, a measure of the clubhead's volume). Without getting technical, and throwing around big golf physics words, bigger clubheads are easier to hit. Most, if not all, of today’s drivers are very even in terms of how far they can hit the ball. What you need to worry about is which one allows you to hit the ball farther.
