Best Men's Golf Drivers

From the Stealth to the Rogue, our driver reviews are designed to help you weigh tradeoffs to find the best fit. We collaborate with players and gear experts to review each driver based on accuracy/control (the ability to hit the ball straight and true), forgiveness (the ability to mitigate negative effects of off-center hits), and distance (potential distance with a well-struck shot). Rankings are updated weekly based on SidelineSwap sales data.

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver builds on the original Stealth, enhancing distance with its new 60X Carbon Twist Face for faster ball speeds and improved forgiveness on off-center hits. It features a Carbon Reinforced Composite Ring and a higher Moment of Inertia (MOI) for straighter shots. This driver prioritizes distance while maintaining ball speed and accuracy for better green performance, and it offers various loft and shaft flex options.

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver has a big 460cc clubhead that's super forgiving on off-center hits. Plus, the draw bias helps fight off those pesky slices. The carbon face lives up to the hype too, I get some serious distance out of this thing. The head is on the larger side, so it might take a swing or two to get used to it, but once you do, the forgiveness and distance are worth the adjustment.

Players who create consistent contact and require more precise control over CG placement.

The Titleist TSi3 Driver caters to golfers who value a compact shape and adjustable weighting. Its Speed Chassis design enhances energy transfer, and the SureFit CG track offers five custom positions for ball flight optimization. Ideal for low-handicap players seeking distance or mid-handicap golfers wanting control, the TSi3 can boost performance.

The Titleist TSi3 Driver is a game-changer for golfers seeking workability and distance in a premium package. This driver isn't for everyone, though. It's designed for better players who prioritize control over pure forgiveness. It packs a punch with a large, 460cc clubhead, but it feels smaller and sleeker at address than some drivers thanks to its classic shape. The focus here is on precision and shot-shaping, and I love the responsive feel at impact. Some golfers might find the TSi3 a bit less forgiving on mishits compared to some max forgiveness drivers, but I think the distance and workability gains are worth the trade-off.
