Golf Drivers
It’s been a long time since all golf drivers were actually made of persimmon
wood, the wood of choice for much of the 20th century. The golf drivers of
today are designed mostly of steel, composite, or titanium. Welcome to

The first shot of any hole is of tremendous importance and on most courses
there are 14 out of 18 holes that require that first shot to be played with
a driver, also known as the 1-wood. Woods are the longest clubs in the golf
bag and used most frequently for long shots. Designed with the largest heads
that are somewhat spherical in shape with a slightly bulging clubface and a
flattened sole that slides over the ground without digging in during the
swing, golf drivers are ideal for use off the tee. Golf drivers can also be
hit from the turf, but it requires a high level of skill to execute the shot
correctly. The current standard length for the shaft of golf drivers is 45
inches, although some players prefer shorter driver shafts between 43.5"-
44.5" because they are easier to use. Since the length of the shafts of golf
drivers increases the power that can be transferred to the ball, a shorter
shaft slightly reduces the distance your ball will travel. The maximum legal
length of a shaft is 48 inches. The heads of golf drivers has one face that
contacts the ball during the stroke. With the introduction of “metal” woods
and the new advances made in club design for golf drivers, today’s golfers
reap the benefits of having golf drivers constructed from stronger and
lighter materials with larger club heads, an expanded sweet spot, higher
moment of inertia, enhance stability, more potent energy transfer and
control.
However, there are no cure-all golf
drivers that fix slices and hooks or bad swing paths. IN THE HOLE!
Golf suggests that if you are beginner golfer, take a basic lesson
with your local club pro and see what they can do for you. For the
more experienced player working on your swing path with a certified
teacher once or twice could be helpful. And then there is always
practice, practice, and practice!
Golf drivers used to be considered one of the more difficult clubs
to master since the wooden headed clubs were dense and heavy with a
smaller head’s surface area that made consistent contact more
difficult. The larger club heads of today’s golf drivers expand the
sweet spot of the club, or the optimal striking area on the face of
the golf club, giving the golfer a better the chance of hitting a
good shot. No longer is the 300-yard drive an impossibility to
achieve for the low handicapped or professional player. Despite
objections from purists, these game-enhancing innovative features,
including oversize golf club heads, will continue to develop, making
the game more enjoyable for the average player.
