1. What makes a good driver?

A modern driver should above all be forgiving, long, adjustable and suited to your swing speed. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, your driver should support your game rather than hold it back.

Models at a glance:

• G440 Max: extremely stable, neutral ball flight and very forgiving – well suited to golfers with mid to high handicaps looking for consistent drives.
