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.

TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus

Accuracy/Control
Forgiveness
Distance
Perfect driver for:
Golfers seeking maximum distance with exceptional forgiveness.

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Driver offers golfers maximum distance and forgiveness. Its 60X Carbon Cast Crown is lighter than titanium, providing a lower center of gravity for better launch and off-center performance. The Inertia Generator technology allows for customizable launch and trajectory, with a slight draw bias for improved accuracy.

This club is all about bombs off the tee. It's got a large, 460cc clubhead with a neutral flight bias, so you can work the ball both ways. The real magic is in the carbon face, it generates serious ball speed on even off-center hits. Some golfers might find the large head size to be a bit much at first, and it isn't the most adjustable driver on the market, but I think the forgiveness and distance gains are worth it. If you're looking to add some serious yardage to your drives, the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Driver is a strong contender.

Titleist TSi3

Accuracy/Control
Forgiveness
Distance
Perfect driver for:
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.
