OUR JOB IS YOUR GAME

The most comprehensive driver test of 2022.

If your swing speed is 90 mph or below, this article is for you. These are the best drivers for low swing speeds. Read on to discover what our extensive testing has revealed before you even consider buying a new driver.

How We Test

For our 2022 driver test, 35 golfers tested 38 different driver models over more than 400 individual sessions. 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.
