Whether you are a beginner, an occasional player, or a pro, when it comes to golf, choosing the best golf drivers is obviously one of the most important decisions you have to make. Not only will you improve your skills, you will also get a kick out of hitting that golf ball long and straight. Although there are a lot of golf drivers available, only a handful can qualify for the best. Read on to find out which of them tops all the lists.

One of the best golf drivers recently launched this year is the Ping Rapture V2, the upgraded version of the Ping Rapture in 2006. Compared to the original Rapture, the Rapture V2 has a longer head, which means less errors for when you want to hit the ball accurately. Also, the clubs are now made completely from titanium, instead of the graphite-titanium mix of the older Rapture version.

For the best golf drivers titanium is the best material because of its durability and lightness. Tungsten weight pads at the head have also been added, making the center of gravity lower. This means a lower spin rate and a higher angle for the ball to launch for more distance and accuracy. Plus, the solid head gives the ball more impact for added speed. Even the shaft or the handle can range from the regular stiffness to extra stiff, according to how the golf players hold their drivers. It also comes in a new color, a perky lime green, to add enjoyment to your golf playing.

A couple of drivers that made it to the list of the best golf drivers are the all new Nike SQ Dymo STR8-Fit and the Dymo2 STR8-fit. You might have seen Tiger Woods sporting the older version of the Dymo. The newer versions places the center of gravity depending on the lofts, which is the angle between the club and the ground. A higher loft means less spinning and a straighter flight for the ball, and the lower loft can give you more spin but a higher trajectory. The square club head give more area to hit the ball, and has less room for errors, just like the Rapture V2. What’s more, the newer Dymo gives players more versatility because it has an adjustable hosel. Using the wrench included in the package, players can adjust the hosel according to how they want their ball flight, hitting their shots farther away with more accuracy. With all of these improved features, the new Nike Dymo definitely gets one of the positions as one of the best golf drivers to date.

A newcomer in the form of the spunky Callaway FT-9 earns a spot as on of the best golf drivers. It is the improved version of the FT-5 series, and you can see it by how the club head is now more elongated. It also features the all-new Hyperbolic Face Technology, meaning the deeper shape of the club guarantees you the fastest speed your ball can fly, with less error of course. The center of gravity is also set low for more stability and control of the shot. But, with the Optifit Weighting System, players can still adjust the center of gravity according to their liking.

In the end, the best golf drivers you will use will still depend on your taste. With the right driver for you, you can be sure to have lower scores the next time you play with your buddies.
