BEST DRIVERS FOR HIGH SWING SPEEDS

OUR JOB IS YOUR GAME

With fall approaching, golf season is still in full swing. Speaking of “swing,” we all swing at different speeds and that means no one driver is right for all of us.

If you swing at 105 mph or greater, these are the best golf drivers for you. Let’s take a look.

MOST WANTED SCORING

We have reformulated our 2022 Most Wanted results to a 100-point scoring system. This new system better identifies golf clubs to potentially help you shoot lower scores.

For drivers, we’ve split our key metrics into four categories: accuracy, forgiveness, distance and Strokes Gained. Each category is weighted through proprietary methodologies.

Data was collected using Foresight GCQuad Launch monitors. To minimize variables, all testers hit Titleist Pro V1 golf balls. Outliers were removed and data was aggregated before scores were calculated.

Old Course Recap: Fox Wins, Road Bunker Blues And A McKellar Pod

Using hazards for the purpose of interest alone, he may use them in the way of emphasis to bring out the highlights of a hole. They can be made formidable or small. Often a tiny pit placed in just the right spot, so small that it can have little effect upon actual play, can be a mental hazard with tremendous effect upon the morale of the golfer. But to place such a pit is as truly an art as one revealing scratch of a pen by a Rembrandt which we ordinary mortals could not duplicate with a thousand scratches…the pseudo-golf architect will have the faint glimmerings of an idea and will try to catch it with numerous bunkers; whereas the true artist will place just one bunker upon the sore spot and it is done. Such a bunker is the Road bunker in the face of the seventeenth green at St. Andrews. To have placed such a bunker required rare imagination and audacity. MAX BEHR

Major(s) News And Notes, September 29th, 2022

Golf without St. Andrews would be almost as intolerable as St. Andrews without golf. Here the children make their entrance into the world, not with silver spoons in their mouths, but with diminutive golf clubs in their hands. Here the Champion is as much a hero as the greatest general who ever returned in triumph from the wars. Here, in short, is an asylum for golfing maniacs and the happy hunting-ground of the duffer, who, armed with a rusty cleek, sallies forth to mutilate the harmless turf. ROBERT BARCLAY (1892)
