Once again, the golf manufacturers used every bit of their technological and design innovations to provide drivers designed to help golfers hit the ball farther and more accurately in 2009. There are a number of great options out there to fit every budget and handicap.
Once again, the oversized clubhead was king. Most of the best drivers of 2009 used 460cc clubheads, which allow the designers to tweak the internal and external weights to increase the hitting zone, the forgiveness, and the MOI.
Those factors aren't as big of a deal for a low-handicap golfer, who is likely looking for something that is heavier on control and doesn't need the added forgiveness that those drivers provide. But for many golfers, a game improvement driver is the way to go, and the latest series of drivers have a large enough sweet spot and an optimized center of gravity that turns off-center hits into impressive-looking and accurate drives.
Golf drivers come in every price range, but the usual dividing line between the upper and lower price ranges is somewhere in the neighborhood of $350. Those looking to spend less than that have a number of great options to choose from. Among the best golf drivers of 2009 in that category are the Callaway Big Bertha Diablo, the Ping G10, the TaylorMade Burner, the Adams Golf Speedline, and the Cleveland Launcher.
On the other hand, the TaylorMade R7 Limited, Nike SQ Dymo and Dymo2 STR8-FIT, and Callaway FT-9 and FT-IQ cost a bit more. Each is above the $350 price threshold that generally signals the higher-end models of driver. But each has enough features to be worth the money to those with a little extra to spend.
Whatever your budget, skill level, or price range, 2009 produced a driver for you. With a little effort checking out the best reviews and pricing options on the Internet, you'll be able to find a club that meets your needs.
