Conclusion

The fitters consulted for this piece have accumulated data from thousands of fittings with golfers just like you. From beginners to tour players, their feedback and information can’t be undervalued.

How much is the F9 Speedback?

The top performers tend to fall towards the higher end of that price range, though at $450 the F9 Speedback can be considered a relative bargain. While $500 is rapidly becoming the new entry-level, those leveraging a cost per yard formula will have a hard time justifying paying that much.

How many lofts does a driver have?

The same approach can work for you. Much like age, the loft stamped on your driver is just a number – an often meaningless one at that. Every driver has 3 lofts: what’s stamped on the club, the actual loft a given manufacturer is trying to hit, and the actual measured loft.

What is the King F9 driver?

The KING F9 driver, features breakthrough SPEEDBACKTM Technology , which, for the first time in golf, successfully combines a highly aerodynamic clubhead shape with low CG. SPEEDBACK is a game-changing advancement in the way a driver is engineered.

What is the flash driver?

The new Epic Flash Driver employs a new Callaway technology called Flash Face to help golfers get more ball speed for more distance. Flash Face’s unique, internal mapping consists of dozens of subtle ripples flowing from heel to toe that work together cohesively to elevate COR in the face’s centre region. That convention-defying accomplishment results in a significant ball speed boost for a noticeable distance increase when you make solid contact, helping make your longest drives go even longer.

How many players put TS drivers in play?

Seventeen players put TS drivers in play – including Justin Thomas, who unleashed a career-long 422-yard drive in Round 1 – an unprecedented shift for the week of a Major Championship.

When will Mizuno ST190 be available?

Mizuno has announced that its highly anticipated ST190 range will be available to the public from Feb 2019. The Mizuno ST190 woods first appeared at the British Masters in October – going straight into play after clearing the USGA conforming list.

Keith Mitchell was Mizuno’s first PGA Tour player to put the ST190 into play (still in play as of December 2018). The ST190 drivers offer Mizuno’s lowest spin rates and incorporate every known factor in the quest to enhance ball speed and driving distance.

How to make the driver's club face close easier?

Club manufacturers can easily encourage the club face of a driver to close easier by putting more weight into the heel of the club instead of the toe of the club. Less weight on the toe of the club = less action needed to close the club face = less slices and pushes.

Which is the best driver to buy in 2019?

The Titleist TS3 is the best driver that you can buy in 2019. Titleist has had a rough patch for the past 5 years or so when it comes to drivers. They were simply being beat my the competition. They finally hit one of the park here, though. I love Titleist as a company.

Is the titleist driver long?

The driver is long. It’s easily the longest driver that Titleist has ever released. Many of the top club reviewers online have seen significant distance increases compared to other Titleist models and compared to the other latest and greatest drivers. That’s not even the good part, though.

The Drivers

TaylorMade M6 / Callaway Epic Flash / Cobra King F9 Speedback / Ping G410 Plus / Callaway Epic Flash Sub Zero / TaylorMade M5 / Srixon Z785 / Titleist TS2/TS3 / Mizuno ST190/ST190G / Wilson Staff D7 / Wilson Cortex / Honma Tour World TW747 460 / PXG 0811 Gen 2 XF

We say

We’ve tested TaylorMade drivers for years, and regularly over the last decade or so they’ve snuck their noses out in front when it comes to performance.

TG Verdict

We’re not here to convince you any particular driver is best – our job is much more about showing you how models compare.

We say

As a story, the Flash face is every bit as compelling as TaylorMade’s ‘Speed Injecting’, and of course builds on Callaway’s proven (and brilliant) Jailbreak tech.

TG Verdict

Callaway themselves are still trying to work out how the AI-designed Flash face actually works. But one thing is for sure – it does work.Comparing the Flash to last year’s Rogue (both in stock shafts) gave our test pro 2mph more ball speed straight away.

We say

Cobra has made some fantastic products for years, but until now they’d probably admit themselves that they’ve struggled to really break through at the very top table of drivers. By that we mean they have never been talked about in the same breath as the very best from TaylorMade, Callaway and Ping.

What does "aeroficient" mean in Cobra?

Aeroficient. That’s the word that Cobra made up for the Cobra King F9 SpeedBack driver (whoa, that’s a mouthful). It means being efficient regarding aerodynamics. Unfortunately, aerodynamics is a less-than-super-important characteristic when it comes to performance.

What is the best driver Wilson has ever made?

Overall, the Wilson Cortex is the best driver Wilson has ever made. I wouldn’t be surprised if more guys (and gals) slowly start moving over to Wilson in the next 5-10 years.

What is the lowest spin driver in 2019?

It’s a slightly heavier head, leading to a small increase in consistency. It’s believed that the 0811 X GEN2 driver will be the lowest spin driver head in 2019. Less spin = less curvature = more distances = happier golfer.

Is the Cobra King F9 a low center of gravity?

Other aerodynamic drivers have a center of gravity that is mid to high compared to other drivers. This driver is aerodynamic AND has a low center of gravity though, which is very hard to pull off.

Is Wilson golf club underrated?

Wilson is super underrated when it comes to golf clubs nowadays. Heck, they used to be THE #1 company in golf. They are slowly climbing their way back towards the top, that’s for sure. They have released some incredible clubs in the past 3 years, most notably their new Wilson Cortex driver.

Is Callaway Epic Flash a sub zero?

It truly is hard to get that many yards from a new driver, although it might not sound like a lot to you. Callaway Epic Flash also a sub zero model, where the weight is taken from the crown and instead placed on the sole of driver, allowing a tad bit more forgiveness and higher launch angles on average.

Who is the president of Wilson Golf?

He’s a little biased, but Wilson Golf president Tim Clarke is calling the Cortex the “best testing driver Wilson has ever produced.”. The Wilson Cortex driver excels when it comes to ball speeds, launch angles, and spin rates, which are three super important characteristics to ANY golfer.

How We Tested Our Golf Drivers
