Callaway »
The Callaway golf driver remains one of the best on the market. Here are some of the recent developments, tech advancements, and hot sticks coming out of Callaway.
The Callaway golf driver has come a long way from the time of the company’s inception. In 1982, a year after Ely Callaway sold his $14m Callaway Vineyard and Winery; he saw hickory-shafted wedges and putters in a golf shop in California. In 1983, he purchased stakes in Hickory Stick USA, became half-owner, renamed the company Callaway Hickory Stick USA, made himself President and CEO, and moved it to Cathedral City, California, where he personally delivered golf clubs from his Cadillac’s trunk.
With tech guru Richard Helmstetter, the company’s Chief Club Designer, Callaway became the first to use computer-controlled …

The cool new forged titanium that Srixon uses for its Z-TX driver is really turning some heads. Not only does this driver look good, with its silver trim and black racing highlights, but it also delivers on the tee.
In testing and reviews, the full range of handicappers were able to get some nice distance gains and additional control. Amongst this group, the power hitters and low handicappers seemed to see the largest of the distance increases, with 5-9 yards extra on average.
The extra control of this “Tour Extreme” Srixon driver wooed the mid …

Nike seems to have gotten things right on all fronts with the SQ Machspeed Str8-Fit Golf Driver. It has swing speed enhancements through its aerodynamic design and weighting, and an adjustable hosel where you can take off the club head and reposition it in 8 different ways. So you can get extra distance with the additional swing speed and correct your hook or slice by changing the angle of the clubface. The results from golfer consumer reviews speak for themselves; everyone seems to either be hitting further …

The Cleveland Launcher DST golf driver is the lightest on the PGA Tour. It can help you increase your swing speed 3-4 mph which means more distance off the tee.

GolfDriverReviews Editor’s Review
The Cleveland Launcher DST driver offers some great technology with its main focus being on lightening the weight of the club. It is the lightest club currently available, at 292 grams; a full 5-10% lighter than most drivers on the market. A lighter club means faster swing speeds and in turn longer distance.
The big question though is can you control a lighter club and faster swing speed? Cleveland has enhanced the design of the club face with a larger sweet spot and variable widths of material to help on …

The TaylorMade R9 460 golf driver certainly delivers in terms of maximum adjustability. By moving and rotating the hosel sleeve you can get up to 40 yards difference in angle on your drives. You can easily adjust for a slice or hook while keeping your same swing. Although we think too many adjustability options can get confusing, the R9 460 has just enough so that you’re not overwhelmed.
The R9 460 is a nice step up from the standard R9, which has a smaller head size. The …
