Most Popular Golf Drivers Used In 2009

It was a great year for golf drivers in 2009, with numerous options to fit every budget and handicap. The technological and design innovations that golf manufacturers introduced help golfers hit the ball farther and more accurately - exactly what makes a driver great. A lot of professional golfers have capitalized this opportunity and purchased drivers that in many cases have allowed them to win important events.

Once again, the oversized clubhead was king. Most of the best drivers of 2009 used 460cc clubheads, which allow the designers to tweak the internal and external weights to increase the hitting zone, the forgiveness, and the MOI.

Getting a good driver involves picking the type that suits your game. For many golfers, a game improvement driver is the way to go, because they are designed to help even off-center hits fly farther and more accurately. Scratch golfers aren’t going to care about those variables as much as the shot-shaping ability the driver provides, looking for more control.

Of course, these new drivers cost money. The usual dividing line between higher and lower-priced models is the $350 mark. There are a ton of great buys below that number, such as the Ping G-10, the TaylorMade Burner, the Adams Golf Speedline, the Callaway Big Bertha Diablo, and the Cleveland Launcher.

On the other hand, the TaylorMade R7 Limited, Nike SQ Dymo and Dymo2 STR8-FIT, and Callaway FT-9 and FT-IQ cost a bit more. Each is above the $350 price threshold that generally signals the higher-end models of driver. But each has enough features to be worth the money to those with a little extra to spend.

Regardless of your budget, ability, or brand preferences, there were great drivers produced for you in 2009. Check out the different options, either on the Internet or at the driving range. You won’t be disappointed.
