As someone who literally gets paid to test the best drivers for a living, I know just how quickly the market can move with this particular club. One minute you have the freshest, shiniest new model, and before you know it your pride and joy is two generations old. As annoying as that can be, it also presents a real opportunity to find some incredible value, especially on Amazon Prime Day.
This year alone, I have extensively tested over 30 drivers so I like to think I know what a good product looks like in this category, whether it is the best low-spin drivers, the best drivers for high handicappers, or even the best driver for slicers.
I have been scouring the internet, and have had my mind blown by some of the incredible prices I am seeing from drivers that I have personally tested and know to be exceptional. It is not just Amazon that has some exceptional deals on Prime Day, I have found some absolute show stoppers on PGA TOUR Superstore. Allow me to show you…

Despite being exceptional performers, the previous iteration of G425 drivers were a touch loud and ‘clangy’ for my liking but this has absolutely been rectified across the G430 range.
Some low-spin models lack a little in the forgiveness department but the G430 LST most certainly does not fit into that category, off centre hits are still eminently playable and the tight dispersion of this driver make it a real standout product with massive tour usage.
To be able to pick up a ‘current’ in-line driver model from Ping for under $400 is frankly too good to miss, so go ahead and grab yourself a bargain!
TaylorMade Stealth 2+ Driver

This model was still being played by both Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler up until a matter of months ago so that should tell you all you need to know about its pedigree. Pushing the carbon era on from its predecessor the Stealth, this driver coupled a slight aesthetic facelift with some performance refinements that were very welcome. A slightly more compact profile looks great to the eye at address and the ample ball speed of…
