What is the best golf drivers of all time in 2020? The best driver has to be a combination of the longest driver and the most forgiving driver for a fitter to recommend it for play. Every year, our committee of 15 top club fitters weigh in and vote for the best drivers in golf in four categories.

2020 has proven to be another big year for drivers across the board as designers and engineers from every OEM further push the limits of materials, structure, and shape to boost moment of inertia (a measurement of forgiveness) and speed, while also fine-tuning center of gravity to provide better performance.

We are in the era of not just maximizing distance but also minimizing the penalty of common misses for each player. This is why, now more than ever, custom fitting is essential to helping you see results on every swing you make.

What is the best golf drivers of all time in 2020?

Below are the four categories for 2020 best drivers. In addition, we have great quotes from our fitter panel for each winner. Why was it so good? You’ll find out with specific comments from the best fitters in the industry.

Here are the winners!

TaylorMade SIM driver – best golf drivers of all time

2020 TaylorMade SIM driver’s adjustable weight. TaylorMade SIM has both Twist Face and Speed Injected face technology. SIM has a carbon crown.SIM moves the weight back to extremes for better MOI and lower CG.

TaylorMade SIM: The TaylorMade SIM (Shape in Motion) series is the result of engineers taking proven design concepts and combining them into three different drivers. The standard model SIM offers hosel (loft) and center of gravity adjustment to fine-tune specs for each individual player while also maintaining a very stable and low spin platform. Multi-material construction makes this TaylorMade’s most advanced driver to date.

From the fitters

This driver offers great ball speed and a massive amount of adjustability. The players that we are seeing benefit the most from this driver have above-average swing speeds and are in need of spin control. Ball speed across the face is very consistent and for those golfers that miss lower towards the heel, it maintains a ton of speed and keeps spin low … Con: The Standard SIM is not the most forgiving driver in the SIM family but considering the other options available in the line you can find a club head for any golfer.

This is one of the lowest-spinning TM drivers ever—in some cases, depending on player dynamics, we need to loft up to see optimal results. The moveable weights are extremely useful when fine-tuning for ball flight and directional control. Thanks to our ability to build from scratch, being able to adjust the back and sliding weights gives us lots of options for length too.

This is the epitome of a classic low-spin driver with a great shape. It’s a better driver than the M5 with improved ball speed and more forgiveness all over the face. Depending on the player’s speed and dynamics, it’s not just a low handicap driver—it can really help dispersion.

The firm feel attracts the better players, and I think a big part of the acoustics is the weight channel close to the face. Less consistent strikers can benefit from this club, thanks to the adjustability and spin reduction, but the SIM Max might be a better option for golfers that need a bit more help with around the face contact.  For golfers that struggle with a consistent miss or want to eliminate one side of the course, the adjustability makes it a fantastic club to dial in and adjust as a golfer’s swing potentially changes.

A great driver for golfers who struggle with spin consistency and need to lower spin. The driver is so good that I generally start with the neutral settings and fine-tune loft before getting into the settings. Compared to the previous generation TaylorMade drivers, the lower loft option of eight degrees allows us to close the face and keep lofts lower, something we couldn’t do before.

One of the fastest, most-adjustable drivers on the market, and thanks to the adjustability, I can get this driver into almost any golfer’s hands. It’s such a great head and lower spin—I wish it came in a 12-degree head.

This is the most forgiving moveable weight driver from TaylorMade ever. It offers high ball speed and low spin. We like to consider this club the best tour caliber driver on the market because it checks all the boxes. On the other hand, it is still a great driver for more average skilled golfers because the dispersion is very tight thanks to the reduced spin and Twist Face.

This driver brings TM back to the spin-dropping power of the SLDR but in a much easier to hit driver, thanks to heel and toe stability and Twist Face. It’s a pure spin killer. This driver is a big improvement over the previous M5 in terms of sound and actual ball speed.

Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero driver – best golf drivers of all time

Mavrik SZ features a dual-weight system that optimizes speed and launch conditionsThe Mavrik Sub Zero also features Jailbreak technology for increased ball speeds. The Mavrik Sub Zero face was designed using AI.A light carbon crown is a key component of the increased ball speeds.

Callaway Mavrik Sub Zero: The driver artificial intelligence helped to build. The Mavrik Sub Zero combines higher MOI into a lower spin package. The Sub Zero is the lowest spinning of the three models in the Mavrik line where the key design feature is Cyclone Shaping to improve aerodynamics over the previous Epic Flash. Improved clubhead speed can help golfers produce faster ball speeds, which in the end results in more distance.

From the fitters

• High-speed players create more spin, and the Mavrik Sub Zero does a good job of controlling that spin ratio. Improved sound over last year with similar ball speeds off the face, I think Callaway once again has the best driver in golf.
• It has a lighter head weight compared to other drivers in the low-spin category—this offers us the ability to fine-tune using additional weights or hotmelt but also means if we are building longer, drivers we can maintain swing weight and help some players gain speed. It’s a low-spin head with great ball speed retention around the face. SOUND is AMAZING and a big improvement over the Epic Flash … Con: The lighter head can also be an issue when working with some counterbalanced shafts at standard length or if building under length.
• Amazing ball speeds especially around the face away from the sweet spot, but this great ball speed also means misses have a greater chance of going further offline. It’s a very neutral driver that can be made more fade biased thanks to stock flatter lie angle the adjustable hosel to go even flatter.
• The whole Mavrik line launches higher than its predecessors and higher to loft than other drivers in this category. Even with the slightly higher launch, this driver still maintains lower spin and one of my top-three quickest heads. This driver in the “weight forward” position makes it one of the lowest-spin heads in a fit.
• Similar to SIM in terms of launch conditions (low launch and low spin) but with just a bit more spin and height for most players. This is a great clubhead for mid-to-lower handicaps, but higher handicaps that struggle with face contact should look more towards the standard Mavrik. For better players, this driver is a real winner when you get the settings dialed.
• This is one of the only heads to keep up with the SIM and the performance. It is a ridiculously fast head that is very efficient around the whole face. The aerodynamics work well and with the heavyweight towards the back can really boost forgiveness. The Mavrik Sub Zero is a way better head than the Epic Flash SubZero in the forgiveness department. The only thing would be that its not quite as low spin as the SIM.
• Really hot all around the face for ball speed, and depending on the golfers, this driver and the SIM battle it out for top ball speed. It’s as low spinning as previous Epic Flash Sub Zero side by side, but with the Mavrik you gain extra forgiveness, and we can use the adjustability to get to the lower spin rates. Less than perfect strikes still get great performance, especially better than previous Sub Zero drivers.
• I find it to be a slightly more left-biased of the low spin heads which is great for players that occasionally miss right or want to have a “players” driver that is easier to draw. Dispersion compared to the previous generation Epic Flash Sub Zero is greatly improved. Golfers have been loving the new sound and feel of the entire Mavrik line.

TaylorMade SIM Max driver – best golf drivers of all time

With a big portion of weight pulled back and deep, the SIM Max launches high with plenty of forgiveness.The new topline of SIM MAX was inspired form feedback from the Tour.
The High MOI of SIM Max is aided by Twist Face technology.Like SIM, SIM Max has loft/lie adjustability to fine-tune launch and flight preferences.

TaylorMade SIM Max: The SIM Max offers all of the advantages of the low spin standard model SIM but in a driver that offers greater forgiveness, thanks to the removal of the sliding weight track to reposition more discretionary weight around the head. The SIM Max also has a slighter deeper face, which offers golfers looking for vertical stability better dispersion too.

From the fitters

• The Max offers all the ball speed of the standard SIM but with added forgiveness, making it a great driver for players that need a touch of spin or have dynamics that keep spin naturally low (generally players that have an upward angle of attack)…looks and sounds so solid … Con: Less adjustability with no sliding track but you still get extra forgiveness.
• Rockstar! Long, high, straight. Twist Face has gotten better and better since its introduction, and we are now seeing shots missed out on the toe that would normally miss much more right hold their line and stay closer to the target line … Con: Depending on dynamics, some slower speed players don’t maximize the available performance in the head.
• It’s a great driver for the golfer that tends to miss left because of the roll of the face, and the paint on the toe creates an open look. It can be a real confidence booster to swing away and not have that left miss. Just like with the SIM, the loft options and two-degree sleeve allow us to help players get dialed into loft and face angle look. Also, I feel the need to mention: Twist Face works! I have found that golfers that miss lower on the heel keep it closer to the middle and keep ball speed up compared to others we test.
• The SIM Max plays to the trend of lighter-weight drivers to help golfers get more left and right directional control. It’s an easier driver to turn over than the standard SIM and very forgiving…with the right shaft. It is easily one of the top two in ball speed. It’s a much easier driver to fit than the previous M4/M6 models.
• This head can do everything the SIM can but with a bit more forgiveness and a touch more launch. In the low-spin category of drivers, this in on the shortlist for most forgiving.

Titleist TS3 driver – best golf drivers of all time

TS3 offers a CG optimizer to tune-in flight preferences.The thin face of TS3 creates a hot yet stable driver.
The deeper face footprint of TS3 aids in its lower spin profile.Simple top line and clean overall look make TS3 the choice of many of the world’s top players.

Titleist TS3: In 2019, the Titleist Speed Project ushered in a new era for performance in Titleist metal woods.  The TS3 has continued to be a staple in fittings by offering big gains for players making the switch from previous generation Titleist drivers.

From the fitters

• All-around performers that can work for a lot of golfers. The TS3 keeps up to any driver on the market, once you get it dialed in. It’s very accurate, and thanks to the adjustability and loft option, it’s not just a “better players” driver.
• This is the absolute best all-around driver Titleist has ever made. Great forgiveness, center of gravity adjustability for ball flight control, and hosel adjustments make this an easy-to-fit driver. Maybe slightly more geared to the mid-to-lower handicap, but almost anybody can fit into this. The only negative thing I could say is its potentially not the best drivers for higher spin players that need greater hosel adjustability.
• The CG adjustability and the hosel sleeve make this the perfect candidate to help golfers that struggle with a hook miss. One of the great things about Titleist is all of the loft options and the fact that the TS series drivers sound so good. It’s my favorite Titleist driver ever, but still more geared to a lower handicap.
• This driver looks like a sleek sports car and delivers with results. The hosel adjustment makes getting players into the right head and loft combo easy, but it can be a spinnier driver for players that miss lower on the face compared to some other clubs. For lower spin players looking for a consistent flight, this one often comes out on top.
• This driver gets overshadowed because it’s on the second year of Titleist’s traditional two-year cycle, but it is a wonderful neutral driver with lots of settings and can really help golfers that miss more left. You get a lot of spin control with all of the settings, but I wouldn’t classify it as a “spin killer.” If you want that in the Titleist line, you have to go TS4.
• A “classic-looking driver” with all the bells and whistles—it’s a total sleeper ball speed machine. It offers medium to low spin in a much more forgiving package than Titleist has ever offered. To me, the TS series is the best Titleist drivers ever made!
• All-around for ball speeds, the TS3 can keep up to any other driver in the market. It works well for so many players and excels for golfers with a neutral to upward AoA with the driver. Great draw and fade adjustability with the Sure Fit hosel and weight system. It’s not the lowest spinning driver in the lineup, that title belongs to the TS4 but that’s why the Titleist line up is great, there is a driver for everyone.
• Classic Titleist look with updated speed. Forgiving for golfers of all abilities, yet still workable to the best players in the world as well as the top amateurs.

Cobra SpeedZone driver – best golf drivers of all time

SpeedZone drivers feature the latest iteration of Cobra’s milled Infinity Face.The face extends over the top of the carbon wrap crown.
The T-Bar chassis was inspired by race cars.The sole of the Cobra SpeedZone driver features two weights to dial in launch and spin.

Cobra SpeedZone: To infinity and beyond! Since its introduction in late 2019, the Cobra SpeedZone with Infinity Face has been a huge success. Cobra engineers focused on improved geometry and mass shifting, along with implementing new manufacturing techniques to precisely control face thickness around the edges of the face, including topline and sole. This allows Cobra to have some of the highest quality control standards for face thickness in the market.

From the fitters

Extremely forgiving with tight dispersion and great ball speed—this is my best all-around driver for 2020. This driver is neutral in weighting and can get more fade bias with setting adjustments. It’s in the top 10 percent in ball speeds, from everything we have tested.

The SpeedZone is another fantastic driver that offers top-end ball speed and gets VERY close to the Ping G410 Plus in the category of forgiveness. Its a perfectly neutral head which works well for players that like to work the ball and helps us in fittings. The thing you have to watch for, depending on the player and their dynamics, the Cobra is one driver where if you get the combo wrong it can be too low spin on mishits resulting in lost carry distance.

This is the sleeper of the year! Even with all the technology and performance, it still seems underrated. Spin control and consistency on mishits are really good, and the sole design is brilliant, since no matter how you adjust loft, it sits square…speaking to “sitting square” the topline on the SpeedZone is extremely easy to align for players that struggle with lining up off the tee compared to other drivers with very round toplines and paint breaks.

This head is really low spin—basically on par with the TaylorMade SIM driver but with extra forgiveness. For golfers that are already low spin, you can creep into “too low spin” territory very quickly so you have to be careful, of the loft and shaft combination. Feedback from a lot of players is that the milled face and carbon construction makes the driver feel really solid.

Although similar, this is a nice step forward from the previous F9, and like the SIM, it fits into the lower-spin category, where it is a fantastic club for higher speed players and those that want to eliminate the left side. To me, the secret of this head is finding the right shaft for slightly faster players and tweaking the weights in the sole to get the head weight up even more. It becomes very stable and still maintains the lower-spin properties.

Another ball speed monster from Cobra. I would say the only downside is the workability compared to others and shape since we see most high-speed golfers gravitate towards more classic looking drivers.

This is a very low spin driver that gets really low with the heavier weight in the front weight port. With the slightly heavier weights, this driver becomes just seems to want to go straight. The only drawback I have found is for players that tend to miss with a fade or push those misses can become bigger with the club, since it can be a bit more difficult to turn over.

BEST DRIVERS FOR 95-105 MPH 

Callaway Mavrik driver – best golf drivers of all time

Back weight equals high MOI which makes Mavrik very easy to hit.Artificial Intelligence was used to create a face that was playable to all four corners.
Although it’s forgiving, Mavrik gives the player a Tour-inspired shape and clean lines.

Callaway Mavrik: This driver is the flagship of the Mavrik line and offers of most aggressive aerodynamic Cyclone Shaping. It hits the perfect balance of lower (ish) spin—but not too low with forgiveness and higher MOI. Most golfers looking at the Mavrik series will end up with this in the bag thanks to its fitting versatility.

From the fitters

This club is very easy to hit, and it’s a great driver for a huge part of the golfing population. Head to head against the SIM Max, these are the two drivers that most golfers are going to look at, but for players that miss more around the face, the ball speed retention is second to none.

Almost anyone can fit into this driver, and for those that need a little extra help hitting a draw, it can be tweaked to be a big help. The mid-spin profile creates a lot of options, but for the highest ball speed players it can start to become a bit too easy to turn over—this isn’t a bad thing, it just means golfers should move into the SZ head instead.

A perfect blend of moderate spin control, ball speed, and added forgiveness. For players that love the Mav SubZero but need a touch more spin, this club looks the part and performs.

Great all-around driver, tied for fastest ball speed with SIM Max. The ball speed around the face is fantastic, and you can fit almost anybody with this driver. Muted sound compared to previous generation is a big improvement. With the CG being a bit higher, we don’t get the extremely low spin as other drivers, but the deviation is low.

My best fitting driver. Stable and works for the majority of players. Consistent spin with excellent ball speed and forgiveness. You can hit it all over the face and get really good numbers with this driver.

Ball speeds are consistent around the face, spin rates are lower compared to others at this speed, and it’s very forgiving. What’s not to love?

Of all the drivers in 2020, this one has the best potential to create the most ball speed. It’s a great driver for your average golfers but just like other drivers in the market, adjustability makes a great club for golfers needing a bit more directional help too.

Similar category to SIM Max in that its a touch higher launch and bit higher spin but still very much on the lower end of what we see available in terms of drivers in the market. Compared to the previous generation Rogue and Epic Flash it has a bit more spin head to head but that also helps make it more accurate.

Wonderfully forgiving driver with a small inherent draw bias because of the internal weighting and the static lie angle. The dispersion is higher because ball speed on off-center hits is still high. This is a great driver for mid-to-higher handicaps and golfers who square the face but have an inconsistent strike pattern.

TaylorMade SIM Max driver – best golf drivers of all time

With a big portion of weight pulled back and deep, the SIM Max launches high with plenty of forgiveness.The High MOI of SIM Max is aided by Twist Face technology. The new topline of SIM MAX was inspired form feedback from the Tour.Like SIM, SIM Max has loft/lie adjustability to fine-tune launch and flight preferences.

TaylorMade SIM Max:This is the second category the SIM Max finds itself in. This proves that when an OEM designs a well-rounded head, fitters are going to take advantage. The other benefit not yet mentioned about the removal of the sliding track is it simplifies the options for the golfers—because many golfers that buy a club off the rack don’t want to worry about ever adjusting any moveable weights.

From the fitters

Day-to-day, we see the fastest ball speeds of any driver with the SIM Max, plus it’s an extremely stable head … It’s so easy to dial in perfect launch conditions once you get the correct loft.

This driver offers very similar performance numbers to the SIM with additional forgiveness and a touch more spin. It offers less adjustability, but it’s a small sacrifice to gain a higher MOI.

I use this driver, so I may be a bit biased here, but it’s super forgiving and from a fitting perspective the SIM Max is one of the most versatile drivers for a number of golfers. Think SIM but with a bit more launch and the added benefit of tighter misses.

Flat-out consistent. It works just as well for average speed players as is does with golfers on the higher end. In the TaylorMade SIM line, this is by far the most all-encompassing driver head.

This driver reminds me of the great original TaylorMade M2—you can get great results that launch higher and with less spin for more players. This driver truly excels on lateral misses on the face – if you are missing heel and toe it still seems like it wants to find the fairway and I guess that’s the power of the Twist Face’s extra bulge and roll.

Ping G410 Plus driver – best golf drivers of all time

Trajectory Tuning 2.0 offers 8 hosel positions to adjust ball flight and loft.The “creased crown” with turbulators and Dragonfly technology beneath. The first moveable weight track in a Ping driver for dialing in CG and ball flight.T9S+ precision-machined Fast Forged face.

Ping 410 Plus: The G410 Plus is the standard for which other drivers are measured against for forgiveness—regardless of performance characteristics. The G410 has three models in the line but the Plus is the all-around performer, and it’s no surprise to find it on the list.

From the fitters

The G410 Plus clicks every box for all-around performance and is massively forgiving. It’s easy to see why so many players use it and why it’s even a big seller off of the rack. When you put this driver head to head with other clubs it might not be the leader in every category, but where it doesn’t lead its easily top 3. The only negative thing I’ve heard from some golfers is the turbulators are still a visual distraction – but after a few swings, most golfers don’t even notice them.

Absolute forgiveness leader or as we call it a “forgiveness monster!” This is the perfect driver for players that really struggle with consistent center contact and still need help. The ball speeds off this driver are amongst the highest but it’s not a leader. It’s a perfect mid-spin head that can be dialed in to fit to almost any player.

This driver is almost always in the Fairway! It’s not the pure longest driver but it is far and away the most forgiving driver on the market. Sure it doesn’t have the same “sexy” story as some other clubs but if you are looking for a driver that is always going to give you an approach shot then this is it! Good shots are great and bad shots and still pretty good.

The 410 Plus is a great all-around driver that is just plain easy to hit. Spin numbers are always in check, and there are lots of options with the hosel and weight adjustment to max out variables

The G410 Plus just hits frozen ropes! It’s the MOST forgiving driver on the market and when you add in all of the adjustable settings with the hosel and moveable weight it can be dialed to fit any golfer and create a much tighter shot dispersion. You can hit this thing all over the face – left right up or down, there is a good chance you’re going to find the short grass.

The forgiveness of this driver sells itself. It holds its start line better than any other driver on the market. The higher MOI comes on the tails of a heavier overall head weight so some builds can be harder with some shafts but thanks to custom fitting and building this is not a common problem, the only thing we have noticed is lower face strikes spin more that other driver.

This is the most forgiving driver period. It’s a bit higher launch and higher spin which puts it in the category with Sim Max, but its more versatile thanks to all the adjustability. The ball speed drops around the face as you move away from the center BUT couple that with the extremely high MOI and it keeps balls closer to the target line and in the short grass more often.

Cobra SpeedZone Xtreme driver – best golf drivers of all time

The forgiveness-focused SpeedZone Xtreme features one six-gram weight in the rear of the sole.SpeedZone drivers feature the latest iteration of Cobra’s milled Infinity Face.
Aerodynamic 360 carbon wrap crown.SpeedZone drivers feature the latest iteration of Cobra’s milled Infinity Face.

Cobra SpeedZone Xtreme: The SpeedZone Xtreme is built on a slightly larger platform than the standard model which allows more weight around the perimeter. A 17-gram weight at the very rear combined with multi-material head creates the highest MOI Cobra has ever had while still maintaining and a high launch/low spin profile.

From the fitters

• This is a juiced-up SpeedZone that maintains lower spin rates and offers greater stability. We don’t get the same spin control with the single weight, but it still allows for easy final customization. Going shorter and with a heavier weight makes this club an MOI monster.
• Sound, shape, and performance are A+ with this head. All the great benefits of the standard SpeedZone but with added forgiveness and a touch more spin.
• This driver truly is a more forgiving SpeedZone with a bit more spin for players of equal speed and way more forgiveness. For players in this swing speed range, a driver with a little extra spin means more carry and more total distance. It’s the closest competitor in forgiveness to the PING G410 Plus, which is a big compliment – but with less spin.
• This head offers forgiveness close to the highest we see of all the drivers in 2020, add that to the available ball speed and you have a driver built to help golfers hit more fairways and hit it longer.
•  Cobra has done a great job separating this driver from the standard SpeedZone. It has a bit more spin, offers higher MOI and is just a very solid club for players that might not have all the speed at the top end. Its also very neutrally weighted which is great because not all slower players are looking for a draw-biased club.
• This driver is like a lower spinning G410 Plus. The loft adjustability helps us dial in the flight window and the spin stays lower because of the CG placement in the head. Even though it is a max forgiveness head it is very neutral in ball flight.
• This has been a really good driver for a lot of golfers this year. It’s got a ton of forgiveness, plus with all the hosel options its easy to dial in. It also keeps the spin down for a lot of players – especially misses lower on the face.

Callaway Mavrik Max driver – best golf drivers of all time

As with all recent offerings, the Mavrik Max is equipped with Jailbreak technology.2020 Callaway Mavrik Max features a T2C Triaxial Carbon Crown allows for additional weight savings.
The Flash Face is made from FS2S titanium, an extremely strong material that’s 6 grams lighter than traditional titanium.Interchangeable weights offer “Max draw” or “Max forgiveness” settings

Callaway Mavrik Max: At 460cc’s, the Max has the largest footprint from address because of its more shallow profile which makes it the easiest to launch of the three Mavrik models. It shares all the same features of the other drivers in the line including Flash Face 2.0, and Jail Break but in a more player-friendly package. Two weights (14g and 2g) offer either a maximum MOI setting or maximum draw with the weight position in the heel.

From the fitters

• This driver is closer to the standard Mavrik for spin rates than some people think—especially in the standard weight configuration. The Max is also not as draw-biased as it may appear from the weights and its easily the 2nd or 3rd most forgiving driver out there. But, put that heavy weight in the heel and adjust the hosel and it becomes a slice killer.
• For those mid-range players who need a little help creating a draw flight the Callaway Mavrik Max is a great head. Very easy to swing because of its slightly lighter head weight and a lot of forgiveness.
• For golfers with mid to lower swing speeds that need launch and additional carry, I fit this driver a lot. Thanks to the adjustable weights you can set the Mavrik Max up to be a hugely forgiving bomber.
• This is the second most draw bias driver on the market after the Sim Max D. This driver creates the tightest dispersion pattern of the Mavrik line and is great for golfers that need increased carry.
• Like other drivers in the larger footprint category it gets up into the air quicker – relative to loft, but the magic is that it still keeps spin on the lower end to help keep misses in the fairway. If you need more carry this is one of my top drivers.
• The Mavrik MAX is very close to the standard Mavrik in overall performance but with additional draw bias for those players that need help eliminating the right miss and need a touch more spin. Even if you are a lower handicap, this is a driver to try depending on your shot preference because thanks to the weight and hosel adjustability you can really dial it in.
• When going head to head against the Sim Max D this thing is a more versatile club. The best thing about this club is that just because its the “game improvement” club in the line, thanks to the looks and the adjustability it can be fine-tuned to build a super forgiving “players” (lower handicap), driver.

BEST DRIVERS FOR SWING SPEEDS OF 94 MPH AND BELOW

TaylorMade SIM Max driver – best golf drivers of all time

With a big portion of weight pulled back and deep, the SIM Max launches high with plenty of forgiveness.The new topline of SIM MAX was inspired form feedback from the Tour.
The High MOI of SIM Max is aided by Twist Face technology.Like SIM, SIM Max has loft/lie adjustability to fine-tune launch and flight preferences.

TaylorMade SIM Max: The SIM Max showing up in every speed category shows not only how good the driver is but its adjustability and loft offerings can fit a wide range of players.

From the fitters

• Total package.. good ball speed, great inertial properties to promote proper launch and spin and stability. Long, forgiving, and consistent – what else could you really want?
• Very forgiving! With it being such a low spin head for moderate clubhead speeds its important to consider choosing a higher loft than other drivers. 1st or 2nd in ball speeds easily!
• Super forgiving and it offers both a neutral and draw bias option with the adjustable sleeve without appearing to change the face angle too much.
• This is my clear cut number one most fit driver. Looks, spin, launch forgiveness – this driver is like Goldilocks getting the porridge at just the right temperature.

Callaway Mavrik Max driver – best golf drivers of all time

As with all recent offerings, the Mavrik Max is equipped with Jailbreak technology.2020 Callaway Mavrik Max features a T2C Triaxial Carbon Crown allows for additional weight savings.
The Flash Face is made from FS2S titanium, an extremely strong material that’s 6 grams lighter than traditional titanium.Interchangeable weights offer “Max draw” or “Max forgiveness” settings

Callaway Mavrik Max: You shouldn’t be surprised to see the Mavrik Max driver in this category. The shallower more draw-biased shape makes it easier for moderate speed golfers to create the necessary spin to keep the ball in the air longer for increased carry. Callaway has addressed this need for more spin across the entire Max line, and with modern golf ball tech, it’s a winner.

From the fitters

• Callaway Mavrik Max gives you the ability to move weight to the heel and keep the face squared up to allow moderate players a great look from address.
• The Max is very forgiving. It’s top one or two in ball speed on off-center hits in my fittings, and it also has a bunch of great stock shaft options.
• The Mavrik Max is the most anti-push/right miss driver of 2020. It starts off in a mostly neutral looking package but if you combine the more upright lie angle with the ability to aggressively close the face, it’s not going to miss right very often. For how high it launches, it’s still a pretty low-spin driver, which also helps reduce ball flight curvature.
• A super forgiving driver that can be configured at a neutral as needed, or it can be set up for the MEGA DRAW! Even though it can be set for a draw, the spin stays lower than a lot of other draw drivers. You can miss all over the face and still see a lot of performance, which is what makes it so helpful to a lot of players.

Titleist TS1 driver – best golf drivers of all time

High MOI thanks to a large tungsten weight in the extreme rear of the sole.Ultra-thin titanium crown in a modern shape.
Variable face thickness.

Titleist TS1: Titleist utilized the TS frame and made it faster with the TS1 by lightening the entire club from head to grip, allowing players every opportunity to gain speed. The shallower profile and longer front to back shape increase MOI and also help with spin retention—a necessity for moderate speed players.

From the fitters

• A total sleeper again. Titleist isn’t well known for this category, but with the lighter head design, forgiveness, and enhanced ball speeds, it is really good for slower swing speeds.
• The TS1 is a great performing lightweight driver. This could make me sound like a broken record but it’s just very forgiving and easy to launch.
• The perfect driver for slower swing speed players that can be built in a lightweight package. Thanks to the fitting process some players that are looking for that extra help can still benefit from the design with a standard weight shaft. It’s mega-forgiving and one of the highest launching heads relative to loft on the market.
• If you are a slower speed golfer looking to add carry and gain back some lost distance this is a must-try. The stock shaft options compliment the head extremely well for the target golfer. Every slower sleep player that has come into a fit seeking most distance has gained with this driver.
• This driver works exactly as advertised. It launches like the Mavrik Max but offers a much more neutral bias and spins less. It’s has a really tight dispersion pattern and is great for mid to lower end clubhead speed players.
• Great light head, works perfectly for low-speed players. The stock air speeder shaft is a great compliment to this driver off the rack.

Ping G410 Plus driver – best golf drivers of all time

Ping 410 Plus: A great design will always be a great design. The G410 Plus continues to be one of the most forgiving drivers on the market, and with an all-around-performance design, it’s no surprise to find it again on the 2020 list.

From the fitters

• I feel like this driver is top 3 in all kinds of categories. The G410 Plus is easy to hit, feels great, and it looks good…honestly what more could you want? The available adjustability and a good variety of stock shafts make this my top pick.
• Like all Ping drivers, it is super forgiving, but this one is also super adjustable. Thanks to the new weighting system and the available “flat setting” we are seeing fantastic results in getting players missing better and tightening up dispersion as well as being long.
• This is your meat and potatoes easy-to-hit driver that can help any golfer that misses around the face. The great thing about this driver is its ability to be adjusted and “grow” with golfers. If you have a right miss and get it dialed in to help, and then through a swing change or improvement you start to miss more left, the adjustability in the hosel and the weight around the perimeter are easy to understand and get dialed back in.
• Our number-one seller! The best all-around performing driver. Very stable with low spin and great ball speed retention on heel-toe misses. Ping defies the theory of low spin has to be low MOI.

XXIO Prime driver

A 6g weight that’s low and deep enhances forgiveness.The Super-Tix PLUS titanium face features a sweetspot that is 103% bigger than the previous model.

XXIO Prime: The Prime series from XXIO is all about premium golf club performance and components. By utilizing advanced lightweight construction throughout the club, it allows moderate swing speed players to maximize all of their potential distance.

From the fitters

• XXIO Prime is excellent for anybody with moderate clubhead speed. We can always find a little more clubhead speed and ball speed with a Prime driver – or any club for that matter.
• Great for the slower swing speed players looking to increase launch and spin—and it just doesn’t want to go right!
• This driver fits the intended market perfectly – it is the easiest to swing club. It’s fantastic at promoting a draw and great for slower speed players looker for every last yard.
• XXIO Prime far exceeds the performance of all other clubs in this category thanks to the total package of head and shaft.
• These drivers excel at delivering more distance, tighter dispersion, and carry. For the lowest speed golfers, we cant beat these drivers no matter what combo we build. It can help with the right miss and for a lot of players too. We call the XXIO Prime the fountain of youth driver!

MOST FORGIVING/STRAIGHTEST  

Ping G410 Plus driver

The first moveable weight track in a Ping driver for dialing in CG and ball flight.T9S+ precision-machined Fast Forged face.

Ping 410 Plus: If you feel like you’ve seen this before—you’re right. The Ping G410 Plus was rated our number one most forgiving driver in 2019, and it continues to lead the pack. The high-MOI design produces consistent results all over the face and with the adjustability for shot shape, you have the ultimate fairway finder.

From the fitters: “Ping has always been one of the most forgiving and straightest drivers on the market” …  “For the last 4 generations or drivers, when we think straight, we think Ping! The design says confidence at address and it delivers.”

Cobra SpeedZone Xtreme driver

The forgiveness-focused SpeedZone Xtreme features one six-gram weight in the rear of the sole.SpeedZone drivers feature the latest iteration of Cobra’s milled Infinity Face.
Aerodynamic 360 carbon wrap crown.SpeedZone drivers feature the latest iteration of Cobra’s milled Infinity Face.

Cobra SpeedZone Xtreme: The SpeedZone Xtreme’s shape and geometry create an extremely high MOI. The great “hack” with this driver is that, thanks to the adjustable rear weight, when it’s played at a shorter length the additional mass (14g vs standard 6g) takes the MOI even higher, and makes it the most stable driver Cobra has ever produced.

From the fitters: “Like every year, Cobra is producing an amazing driver, which seems to fly under the radar. Amazing ball speed forgiveness all over the face. Tends to flight lower and kill spin compared to most products.” … “Arguably one of the straightest drivers of all time.”

TaylorMade SIM Max driver

With a big portion of weight pulled back and deep, the SIM Max launches high with plenty of forgiveness.The new topline of SIM MAX was inspired form feedback from the Tour.
The High MOI of SIM Max is aided by Twist Face technology.Like SIM, SIM Max has loft/lie adjustability to fine-tune launch and flight preferences.

TaylorMade SIM Max: The SIM Max has made its way into every category on our best drivers ranking. Although it doesn’t offer the same adjustability as others, it proves that a versatile clubhead designed to be well rounded can be a winner for almost any golfer.

From the fitters: “I love to fit with this driver because you are able to adjust the two weights for a player that hits it straight, or for someone that fades the ball. Add that to a driver that has great ball speeds you have a great combination made to hit more fairways.”

Titleist TS2 driver

High-launch, low-spin profile, assisted by rearward weighting.Ultra-thin face.
Ultra thin, clean titanium crown.

Titleist TS2: The TS2’s continued success on our best driver list is proof that Titleist’s commitment to re-engineering their metal woods to maximize performance has paid off with the Speed Project. It also proves that a well-fit driver can be hard to beat.

From the fitters

• They have made a really forgiving driver that fits more players than just the single-digit handicap. This driver with a square-looking face and hosel options make it one of the straightest.
• This is my Titleist sleeper. Where the TS3 is geared more towards a mid to lower handicap that needs lower spin, the TS2 is a great head for mid to lower handicaps looking for the extra spin and control with the driver. Thanks to the adjustable hosel and all of the available lofts this is another driver that although designed for a specific demographic can be fit to almost anyone.
• The TS2 fits a wide spectrum of players. I like to call this club the perfect driver for the “trunk slammer/doesn’t like to practice golfer” that wants performance and forgiveness, in a traditionally shaped head design.
• This is the best driver in the Titleist line for the most number of golfers. It offers a touch more spin than the TS3 but still keeps numbers in control for players with higher swing speeds. It has a square look at address that appeals to the traditional golfer but the performance catches a lot of people off guard. This club excels compared to previous generation Titleist drivers on heel and toe misses which keeps more golfers in the short grass. Overall it’s a very stable mid-spin driver that can also help golfers with higher dynamic loft thanks to loft options and hosel adjustability.
• This is my driver! It works very well for a large range of golfers and just like other Titleist products, the loft options and Sure Fit sleeve make it a lot easier to get just right once we have the shaft and unadjusted loft optimized. Thanks to the extra spin we can get players extra carry from a very neutral head.
• Great ball speed and forgiveness in a traditional-looking package, it’s a great driver for the right player and keeps up to any other driver on the market.

Callaway Mavrik Max driver

As with all recent offerings, the Mavrik Max is equipped with Jailbreak technology.2020 Callaway Mavrik Max features a T2C Triaxial Carbon Crown allows for additional weight savings.
The Flash Face is made from FS2S titanium, an extremely strong material that’s 6 grams lighter than traditional titanium.Interchangeable weights offer “Max draw” or “Max forgiveness” settings

Callaway Mavrik Max: By building the Mavrik MAX on a high MOI platform packed with technology, it’s easier for golfers to hit fairways. When you put all of the adjustability features together—including the hosel adjustment and heel weighting—it doesn’t take long for a fitter to dial in specs built for distance and finding fairways.

From the fitters: “Customers feedback tends to say this is one of the straightest drivers on the market and I agree. Its slight draw bias and lighter overall weight helps the average players square the face too.” … “The Mavrik Max is one of our go-to clubheads across the board regardless of the clubhead. Being so straight makes this driver check all the boxes.”
