Most Forgiving Drivers
Getting a new driver that gives you five extra yards sounds great, but what good is that to you if your second shots consist of hacking out from the rough or chipping out sideways from the trees? You need a driver that’s going to keep the ball in play while still sending it out there a good distance, and to do that you need to prioritise the most forgiving drivers on the market. We tested 21 different models and the video below offers some detailed insight into how they performed in five key categories – including consistency.
The best golf drivers these days are much more user friendly than those from say five years ago, but your choice in a particular model within a brand’s latest range can make a big difference to the performance. A custom fitting will naturally provide greater insight into how each driver works for you, but we would always suggest favouring forgiveness and accuracy slightly over out-and-out yardage.
You may hit that one shot out of the middle with high launch and low spin that seemingly stays in the air forever, but let’s face it – more often than not we’re not striking the sweetspot of the driver. This is why a driver that can combat the effect of mishits in terms of limiting drops in ball speed and reducing curvature through the air is worth its weight in gold. All the drivers in this list will have very high MOI and large heads in order to maximise forgiveness across the face.
So what are the most forgiving drivers on the market in 2022? Well, we’ve tested them all and picked out our favourites below to help you find the short grass, which should ultimately help lower your scores. We’ve also listed some of the most exciting drivers for 2022 that have been announced, but are only available for preorder at retailers. Additionally we recommend you check out some more of our guides on drivers – for example the best golf drivers for distance, best golf drivers for mid handicappers, or the best golf drivers for seniors.
