The BEST DRIVERS in golf (For every type of player!)

[@dudsteppa]

The most forgiving driver I’ve ever had has to be Abdul with Uber. My girlfriend was sick out his window after a night out. He didn’t kick us out but stopped at a kebab shop and let me buy a bottle of water to wash down the side of his Prius. He dropped us home safe and my 4.8 Uber rating didn’t drop after that journey. Honestly Abdul’s the best driver out there

I needed this video 7 years ago when I bought an exdemo SLDR. I’m still using it at can hit 280 with a steady swing. As soon as I try and increase club head speed I can slice at right angles.

[@theobgyn6787]

That has been my experience with the 460s. 160 Forward. An additional 160 to the right and Violently Right it goes.

[@cocko1135]

Definitely agree with the Callaway Rogue OG. Was on the hunt for a new driver and hit many different types and brands. I happened across a 2nd hand Rogue and it was love at first swing. I didn't want heaps of adjustment setting just nice and simple. It will fade, draw and hit bombs when I want and it is extremely forgiving. 2nd best for me was the Titleist, I found similar results with it but when you can save $300 (Aus), well, it's a no brainer.

[@ballaholic458]

I picked up a new F9 about 2 year ago. It’s good to know that it’s a great club even when compared to its modern counterparts. It’s also good to know that my driving troubles are with myself rather than my driver lol

[@robertsundemjr.4653]

I still have my F9 and love it, I have tried the new LTDX and it is nice but I cannot see enough gains to switch it out. I am excited for next years new Cobra driver though. Great video thanks Pete.

[@malthuswasright]

Interesting. As you said, main takeaway is that improvements have been incremental at best. Like many I was surprised that there was no Ping in there, and the M2 as well - expected to see both put in an appearance.

[@2ndPlayerGolf]

Agreed. Any Ping G series could have made the cut and I painted a few old TM drivers to look like the M2 because I think it’s the best looking driver. Never hit one though

[@dustyrose1662]

Finally got my hands on a Fusion driver after seeing one of your videos. I paid a pretty penny for it, but it changed my game. I’ve never been so confident with a driver! I might be giving up some yards in distance to my playing partners, but I don’t miss many fairways with it!

[@scottjames6037]

The old design of that Fusion was the FT-IZ 10-12 years ago. You can not miss a fairway. Triangle Head shape.

[@johnnoftz5598]

I still love my 2017 Callaway rogue sub zero. Only took me 5 balls on demo day to pick it back then and still outperforms the newest clubs today! That was a good year for Callaway!

[@chuckierhangerdeck1943]

Now This is the kind of comparison I’ve been waiting to see. Couldn’t agree more,I’ve hit many contenders to replace my F9: gamed a TM and the LTDX, can’t say I NEED to spend $500.00 or more to gain three yards, however as a 14 handicap workability is not a big enough factor for consideration. Go straight (where I aim) and I’m happy. Thanks Pete!

[@ChrisBrown980]

Just purchased the SLDR driver with X stiff shaft and I'm amazed at how well it feels. Just about everyone talks about its unforgiveness but I find it consistent and as you said, surprisingly straight!

[@FBRR2]

I saw a big difference between an F8 and the F9. I haven't found anything that beats the F9 yet. And as others have stated for 400 to 500 dollars "improvement" of a few yards not worth changing..Still love the F9

[@thepyeman1]

Still got my SLDR driver, but it's tucked away... couldn't control it. When you did hit the sweet spot, it was an absolute beast. Perfect for corporate golf days when you wanted to win the longest drive.

[@lokidecat]

You make me grateful that I'm still rockin' the OG Rogue in my bag. I love that thing so much and don't see replacing it any time soon. The feel, the sound, the look (esp the blue colorway), and the performance is just too good for needing a replacement.

[@michaelhopkins2697]

I'm just starting out and after lots of research I decided to plump for the OG rogue as seemed the best option for forgiveness and price, and distance should I hit it right. A damn sight cheaper than getting a newer option at the time. Reassuring to see it still stacks up against its you get brother. Now just have to learn to swing it lol

[@lokidecat]

@@michaelhopkins2697 It definitely holds it's own.

[@TheWildwoodPicker]

Everything Loki the Cat said x2... Damn Skippy... The Rogue OG rocks!

[@dumbpig99]

I had an F9 and loved it. I replaced it with a Ping G410 which has performed admirably but it is not better - it doesn’t sound nearly as good as the F9, and whilst marginally more forgiving it is definitely not longer.

[@markh9246]

I got f9 too, going to make ut last atleast 10yrs. Its the bollox

[@TL-Golf-London]

Pete, any chance you could do a shaft comparison? It would be an absolute treat to see how the top shafts in golf compare when sticking them in the same head. Will you see noticeable differences in spin/feel/distance etc.?

[@whitakerfindlater7320]

I game a titlesit 913 d2. I bought it secondhand last winter. And absolutely love it. Buying secondhand is great if you don't want to break the bank.

This video, in all honesty, is almost perfect. It filled to the brim with value, entertainment, and production quality. Peter’s delivery and enunciation are top notch. I see him commentating in the future.

[@Mdrnsamurai]

I'm sorry Peter but the Ping G425 is the most amazing Driver in years... Fits any type of swing speed, desired flight, and the level of forgiveness is massive. For me personally the G425 Max has added 20+ yards in carry distance and cut down at least 10 yards in right and left dispersion. IMO it's a bomb inspiring, shot making machine of the tee...

[@jeremymcginnis4388]

I wanted to love and play the G425. All my better golfing buddies play it. I could not hit it at all. Ugh.

[@AH9T2]

it is a good driver i agree but F9 is still better especially for the money.

[@jacooldewage976]

I also wanted the ping to be great for me, but after hitting different drivers I went with the ltdx

Peter, great video. On the back of this video I came upon a Fusion Driver for £50! came with 2 shafts too : ), I rested up my SIM2 for to see what the fuss was about. I am no blaster of the driver but mid summer comfortably made 260 -280 yards over and over again. Measured on my GPS tagged club. My SIM2 made 275yards recorded over 100 shots on GPS tags, so the Fusion with it 44.5inch shat now 80 shots in matches the SIM2 within a few yards. Thank you 👍

[@colint8822]

Great info as always Pete. I don't have a lot of swing speed so I'm using a TaylorMade Jetspeed HL with a 49g M flex shaft. Feel more confident on the tee, one thing that the data can't factor in 👍

Hi Pete. I hope you reply to this question. How does the forgiveness of the Callaway Fusion driver compare to the newer Cobra Radspeed XB. My HCP is about 22.5 and my normal driver fades to the right. Thank you!

Hey SLDR have been using for some years now and really love this driver although I have never tried to adjust it. Thanks for melding the past and the new.

[@kymstock1852]

What a great video Peter! So many of us need a Driver that finds a fairway and maximum distance is secondary. Being fairly new to golf I thought of the Big 4 as similar to buying a BMW or Mercedes in comparison to a lower cost car. They all do the same thing; right? I bought a series of Cobra drivers ( F7 and F8 /second hand) and they still didn't work well, so I bought a F9 thinking that all the testers said it was pretty good. I kept it for a year and still sprayed the thing all over the place! So I sold it and bought a Cleveland HB Turbo with a higher loft. After 12 months trying I managed to get the ball on the fairway more often, going from a push fade, the a push, to straight , to draw shaped shots. I had the opportunity to hit my old F9 a few months ago. I was shocked how much it had improved! BTW, thanks for leaving that heel strike shot in the video. It gives we mere mortals hope when we see a good player do that too.

Great video. I bought the OG Rouge last year for 195 USD and almost bought a SLDR (Because I have the SLDR Mini Driver). And I’m glad I didn’t now because I definitely do not hit a driver that well. I had the rouge 3 wood at the time and loved it. So that helped push me to the Rouge. I’ve also just recently added the rouge (OG) 5 wood to help gap my hybrid and 3 wood and boy am I happy that I did that. It took so long to find that 5 wood however being a left handed player. But those clubs are out there in numbers for all the “normal” people out there.

Otherwise, I have to say it doesn't matter which driver I use. Yes, I absolutely love my Ping G15 driver, but the same goes for my Speedzone driver and my old Jetspeed driver from Taylor Made. Can't tell the difference between them for the most part. Well, okay, I can but they give me the same end result. 😊 Anyway. Sure I agree. You can put a Ping in every category but the same goes for all the other brands out there, in my humble opinion. Would have loved to see a video where he picked out the best ones from every brand in every category and compared all of them in different episodes in a series of videos.

[@mikerodrick2430]

To make hitting a driver straight easier for high handicappers, you should be using a driver with an offset head which makes it easier to square it at impact. There aren't many on the market for some reason considering that they can help hitting the most difficult club to hit in your bag. The same goes for irons as well. Offset heads make it easier to get the clubhead square at impact where it matters most.

I spent an hour on the launch monitor with both a couple years ago. The F9 loses 20+ yards distance with offcenter strikes and the face feels dead. The Ping barely lost 10 yards and still went very straight.

They both feel good swinging, look good at address, and sound great to me, but my honest opinion is the Callaway Rogue OG feels, looks, and sounds the best to me. Why Callaway went away from that awesome blue to the crappy gold is a head scratcher, but the blue looks way better to me. Maybe it's because that's what I'm used to, idk. One other thing I'm not too crazy about with the new ST Max is the weighting system. I'm not so sure I'm liking the way they went with the weights in the back of the club vs the Rogue OG.

[@greenhorngolfers]

I took up golf in Aug 2020 and for that upcoming Christmas, the fiance got me a F9 Driver. It stood out to me because of the reviews and I didn't have the means to do a fitting but also didn't have a golf swing nailed down. A month into having it, I went to the range to hit 120 balls. Did driver in the middle then when I had 5 at the end, I got it back out. On the very last ball I hit a wooden pillar behind me and cracked the head (got video of it but the cracking of the driver is off screen) I was devastated. I called Golf Town (basically Canada's American Golf) just to see what the warranty covered. As it was human error it didn't cover the damage that had been done and they suggested I call Cobra. I spoke to a gent on the phone and he asked me to email the video, photos and explain what happened in writing (after I had explained on the call what had happened). On the call he said they don't normally sell individual heads which was my first request since I didn't need a new shaft or grip, and that the F9 is hard to find (the Rad Speed was dropping a week later). A couple days later I get an email back and it was Cobra offering a free Speedzone head (regular as well with the two swappable weights and not the Xtreme one with just the one weight at the back). I've been gaming it since and it is simply incredible. I feel my game is at the point where I should go get fitted to see what shaft works best but will be keeping with the Speedzone head. Because of that customer service, it would be hard to dissuade me from sticking with Cobra drivers but who knows in 10 years time. @Peter - did the F9 win the overall category over the SZ because of the price? - Alex

[@hoorayitshenry4245]

Nice story Alex, I've got an SZ too. It's great and I've no plans to change it this year. About a year ago I was looking for an F9, it seemed every youtube golfer loved it and I'd tried out a friends F9 and liked it, but when I looked at prices for second hand F9s I realised I could get a brand new SZ ( the Rad had been out a few months) for about £60 or £70 more than I'd pay for a good second hand club. I don't think the SZ sold very well, the F9 is a great driver and they sold loads. The SZ was and is overlooked because there really isn't any noticable difference between the two. That was it's problem it was too similar to the F9. So if the F9 is great, then so is the SZ. F9s still seem to attract fancy prices second hand the SZ is a good alternative.

I have been wanting to upgrade my Taylormade RBX Tour to a Cobra F9. I have found that the Taylormades are great drivers and I hit them pretty straight but the Cobra F series 6,7 and 9 have all seemed just a little bit better overall. I actually agreed with almost all your list except the Rogue. I think budget wise your better off going with a Cobra F6 or F7 or maybe even the Taylormade R1 or the M2 as you can usually find them cheaper then the Rogues. The M2 is hands down the best overall driver Taylormade has made.

I have an f9 king for a few years and I love it. hit it the same as current drivers basically. and it looks so damn good lol if you think of getting one though check out Rick shiells video on the f9. they released a cheaper version that isn't quite as good so don't fall for that lol
