Best Golf Drivers For Seniors
Once you hit 50, you’re technically a senior – in the golfing world at least, that age when you’re eligible to play on most senior Tours. A look at the driving stats on the Champions Tour, where the top ten in driving distance all average over 290 yards, provides proof that power doesn’t just vanish as soon as you wave goodbye to your forties.
That said, if you’re becoming a little too used to seeing your younger playing partners smash the ball past yours, it might be time for a change. The good news is that manufacturers have senior golfers well covered – don’t think you’ve been forgotten.
But what makes a good drive for a senior golfer? The best drivers for seniors will normally have a combination of lightweight heads and lightweight shafts. That means, even as your swing speed may start to decrease, the lightweight driver can still generate solid clubhead speed and, in turn, distance. Getting the right shaft is also vitally important for senior golfers. Finding that perfect combination of flex and weight in the best golf shafts could add a decent amount of yardage to your game without you having to swing any faster. Pair that with one of the driver heads in this list and you’ll be on to a winner.
So, we’ve taken a closer look at the best golf drivers for seniors, clubs designed to help you keep that speed up. It’s not all about speed, of course; there are other areas of performance senior golfers may need a little help with, such as a lighter feel, higher launch and extra forgiveness. Speaking of which, we also recommend checking out our other driver guides – such as the most forgiving drivers (opens in new tab), the best golf drivers for distance (opens in new tab), or even the best golf drivers for women (opens in new tab).
