GUIDE TO GOLF DRIVERS


Your driver sets the tone for the rest of your game and the first shot of the fairway splitting puts you in a good position to score well, but a bad start can leave your game inadequate and confidence weakens. It is, therefore, crucial to choose the right golf driver.

Technological advances in the ideal point, size, angle of projection, composition, speed, and forgiveness are just some of the categories in which manufacturers now spend a lot of time and money researching and developing.

The result is a wide range of drivers in the market, each with their own features and benefits. We have many options for selecting drivers that we should use in the current market. Finding an appropriate one can increase your drives for shorter, longer approaches, or you may be able to access normal par 5 in two. Although it may be a club in a bag and it is usually the most expensive.

What is the best head size?
Club heads are measured in cubic centimeters (cc) with a maximum limit of 460 cm3 and almost all drivers on the market today are between 440 and 460c. Normally, 440cc drivers are designed for players who like to shape a ball more in the air, as they generate different 460cc header launching conditions, which generally offer more forgiveness.

Since the limit is in volume, the shape of the head varies depending on the vertical and horizontal depth of the head and the forgiveness level.

 Which is the best material?
Drivers technology has evolved a lot of the persimmon woods and even the first steel. Today, almost all drivers are made of titanium or composite heads.

Titanium has become so popular because it is strong, durable and lightweight. This has allowed companies to increase the size of their heads without increasing their weight, which means that players can swing faster, get more distance, and have a larger margin of error with a larger sweet spot.
Composite drivers are clubs that combine different types of materials. Lightweight materials, such as carbon or heavy materials, such as tungsten, are often linked to titanium to improve driver performance.

When used on the crown or back of the clubhead, carbon can reduce the total weight of the driver. This allows companies to change the weight or center of the driver while using the titanium face to produce optimal ball speeds. Harder materials, such as tungsten, can help increase the weight of the club's perimeter, which will increase the MOI.

What is MOI?
MOI means a "moment of Interia" and it relies on the club's forgiveness, especially on resistance to twisting. The higher the MOI, the less likely the club will rotate when you hit the ball far from the center of the face.
  
What are the Launch Conditions?
Ideally, you should adjust the size of your driver and listen to the term "launch conditions" during that process and it is a combination of factors that determine how the ball is struck and the outcome.

What is the center of gravity?
The center of gravity is the only single balance point which can move vertically, horizontally or backward on the club head by moving fixed or adjustable weights inside the head.
