At Nearly New Golf Clubs, we believe that over the last 18 months, there has not been any significant breakthroughs in equipment technology. So we thought we’d take a look back at some drivers that we feel best balance affordability with the newest technologies available in golf. That’s why we have narrowed down our selection to four outstanding ranges of driver:
Each of these drivers offers unique features and benefits that cater to different playing styles and skill levels. So whether you’re an experienced better player or a high handicapper looking to improve your swing, there’s something for everyone on this list.
Key Takeaways
– Taylormade Stealth drivers: Until Stealth, titanium had been the dominant material used by manufacturers when producing the next generation of drivers. However, 2022 saw the re-introduction of Carbon. The TaylorMade Stealth Driver produces a mid-high launch with mid-low spin numbers, making it an ideal fit for a wide range of handicaps.
– Callaway ST Rogue Max drivers: The Rogue ST Max driver from Callaway is the most forgiving and fastest model in the Rogue ST family and is built for high launch with slight draw bias. Featuring high MOI, Jailbreak Technology, and X-Face VFT technology.
– Titleist TSI drivers: The Titleist TSI family includes four different models, each with individual characteristics aimed at specific golfers and golf swings.
– Ping G425 Max drivers: G425 MAX elevates the moment of inertia to PING’s highest level in history. With its 26-gram tungsten movable weight creating an incredibly forgiving driver.
Taylormade Stealth Drivers
If you’re looking for a long, forgiving and easy to hit driver, then you can’t go wrong when considering the Taylormade Stealth. The story here is all about carbon. Taylormade claim they’ve pushed titanium faces as far as they can. The new 60X Carbon Twist Face is 44% lighter than a titanium face while also being 11% larger than SIM2 and SIM2 Max drivers and approximately 20% larger than the 2020 SIM driver. Sixty layers of carbon fibre have been purposefully engineered to enhance energy transfer, resulting in optimal distance and forgiveness.
It looks sharp too, a combination of the matt finish on the crown and the striking red face gives the Stealth a premium stand out look and sits smartly behind the ball.
Overall, if you’re in the market for a high-performing golf driver under £300, then the Taylormade Stealth driver really is one to consider. Their combination of distance, a sleek look, and forgiveness make them an excellent choice for golfers of all skill levels.
Callaway ST Rogue Max Drivers
Among the top options available, the Callaway ST Rogue Max drivers offer exceptional performance for golfers seeking a high-quality club at a considerable saving from it’s RRP. The Rogue ST Max driver from Callaway is the most forgiving and fastest model in the Rogue ST family and features a large clubhead with a high MOI (moment of inertia), which helps to stabilise the club through impact and reduce twisting on mishits. This results in greater accuracy and consistency, allowing you to hit longer and straighter drives. Originally introduced in 2016, Jailbreak Technology revolutionised Callaway’s driver offering with their famous Great Big Bertha Epic. The Callaway ST Rogue Max develops on this technology which consists of two
titanium bars behind the face that connect the crown and sole, effectively stiffening the structure of the clubhead. By increasing stability at impact, Jailbreak Technology helps to transfer more energy to the ball, resulting in faster ball speeds and increased distance off the tee. Combined with Callaway’s renowned Speed Step Crown design that improves aerodynamics, this driver offers tremendous power and speed.
Additionally, the Callaway ST Rogue Max driver incorporates Callaway’s proprietary X-Face VFT (Variable Face Thickness) technology. This technology optimises face thickness across different areas of the clubface, promoting higher ball speeds and greater forgiveness on both centre-face strikes as well as off-centre hits. Whether you’re a beginner looking for
added forgiveness or an experienced golfer seeking maximum distance without sacrificing accuracy, this driver delivers impressive performance across multiple levels.
Released in early 2022 and retailing at £499, you can now pick up this premium Callaway driver for under £300. With its attractive price point compared to the new Paradym X on the market, this driver provides exceptional value for golfers looking to improve their game without breaking
their budget.
Titleist TSI Drivers
Gamed by the likes of Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay, so you’ll be in good company when considering Titleist’s range of TSI drivers.
With 4 models available designed to suit a specific golfer, Titleist really did produce an awesome driver for every golfer:
TSI1: The new TSi1 driver has an ultra-lightweight configuration which is engineered for players with moderate swing speeds. It offers maximum launch and distance across the entire surface of the face, to enable you to step on to the tee and perform.
TSI2: Titleist’s one size fits all approach, that both game improvers and better players can utilise. For players seeking incredible speed and accuracy across the entire surface of the face. Features a deeper, lower CG to maximise distance through Speed Optimised MOI design.
TSI3: For players who create more consistent contact and require more precise control over CG placement. Features an Adjustable CG Track Design for advanced speed-tuned performance.
TSI4: Featuring a smaller 430cc head for better players seeking aggressive spin reduction to improve their driving distance.
The key piece of technology that all these drivers share is the ATI 425 Aerospace Titanium in the TSi face, help make it tone of the longest, straightest, best looking and best sounding driver Titleist ever made. This unique alloy, made by a single foundry in Pittsburgh, is the key to creating a driver face that delivers increased ball speed at every point of contact.
Ping G425 Drivers
Now what can we say about the Ping G425 driver? Well we think it’s incredible popularity today speaks for itself. Along with Titleist, Ping’s have chose to keep their G425 on the shelves for 2 years and their performance was fantastic.
The Ping G425 range offered 3 drivers at release, the G425 Max, SFT (draw bias option) and LST (Low spin option). The Max is Ping’s flagship version it’s the brands highest ever MOI and most forgiving driver.
As we have become accustomed with Ping is their advanced aerodynamics and their famous turbulators on the crown, which help reduce drag and increase clubhead speed. This translates into longer drives that carry further down the fairway.
Additionally, the adjustable hosel allows golfers to fine-tune their launch conditions, optimising ball flight for maximum distance and control.
The key feature of the Ping G425 drivers is their forgiveness. The driver’s high-density tungsten back weight helps create a deep centre of gravity, resulting in increased stability and higher MOI (Moment of Inertia). This means that even on off-centre hits, golfers can still achieve decent
distance and accuracy. The combination of forgiveness and distance makes the G425 drivers suitable for players of all skill levels.
If you’re in search of a durable, forgiving driver then the G425 Max is definitely worth a thought.
