Anyone who has played the game of golf can recall the sense of trepidation they experienced the first time they ever stepped on the tee box.
First, all conversation stops; this is done out of respect for a player’s concentration, but serves as a reminder to the newbie that every pair of eyes now rests on them. You plant your tee, make a quick practice swing, and then take your first glace down the incredibly long stretch of beautiful green grass in front of you. You’ve taken lesions, you’ve hit the range, maybe you’ve even watched an instructional video or two, and now it’s time to put everything you’ve learned into one beautiful swing.
But we all know technique alone isn’t what gets the ball off the tee. Using the right driver can be just as essential. It’s often difficult for a novice golfer, to know what driver is going to be right for them. As for the characteristics of “the best” golf driver, for me the best was the club that allowed me to hit the longest, straightest and most consistent shots. The new square head drivers also are forgiving and will straighten out a bad shot, a very important feature for me!
Forgiveness – Some of the new drivers actually correct a bad swing, and my Callaway FTi has definitively straightened out my accidental fades. The Callaway Golf RH FT-i Tour Low CG Driver Stiff Flex 9.5 Degrees giant sweet spot, the size of a silver dollar.
Sweet spot size – To a beginner, the larger the sweet spot, the better the driver. I consistentlyget an additional30-50 yards with Callaway Golf Big Bertha 460. It has a geometrical all-titanium design that sees the head stretched and flattened to touch the dimensional limits set by the R&A and the USGA. This results in a deeper Centre of Gravity location for longer and straighter off-centre shots as well as optimum ball flight and maximum forgiveness.
