A driver is the farthest-hitting club in golf. And it is also the most inconsistent club among all golfers. One of the potential factors in that is what type of driver you are using. You could be using a forgiving or a more unforgiving driver. What a forgiving driver does for you is it gives you more miss room so hits off center still go pretty close to your target. But there is always an offset to drivers. With a more forgiving one, you lose a little bit of distance. On the other hand, a more unforgiving driver will mean you will have more distance on a center hit, or it will not go anywhere good if you hit it off-center. So if you are a beginner or average and are a bit inconsistent with ball striking off the tee, then go with a more forgiving option, but if you are more skilled and consistent, go with something more unforgiving.
Starting with the cheap option. Coming in at under $200 is the Wilson D300 SL. This driver will give you not only forgivness, but adjustability of loft and a balanced feel.
This is the mid priced driver. The Cobra LTDx MAX driver. Costing you around $300, this driver is perfect for someone who doesn't want to spend a great huge amount of money but wants something that is still a very nice product.
Now with the expensive option. The Taylormade stealth. This driver will set you back around $400 but is widely considered to be one of if not the best consumer drivers on the market.
The cheapest option on this list is the pxg 0211. At $200, this driver will apeal to the average golfer with its long distance and low price tag.
The mid priced option is the Callaway Epic Speed. Costing you $300, this driver packs a punch for your money
Finally, the expensive option. The Rogue ST-MAX is not for the beginner golfer. Coming in at $400, it is a hefty tag for an average hack and is also one of the most used on tour.
