1. PING G400 Max Driver
This club is going to blow you away with its incredible performance - especially if you're a mid handicapper who struggles with any part of your Driving game.
Take a look at our in-depth review of the PING G400 MAX...
...PS we think this club is INSANELY good!
The Ping G400 Max driver is hugely popular for Ping.
But whyyyy?
I must admit on a test that I did with the G400 range this driver really impressed with not only its overall performance but just the ease in which the club gives you, the player, forgiveness.
Ping has said that with the G400 Max that this club has even more forgiveness again with its new 460cc head!
I can't wait to get stuck into this club!
The G400 Max is very similar in every way, shape, and form to the G400 regular driver. To be honest, it's hard to notice the difference! However, this is a large footprint concerning the head.
It's 460cc, and the Dragonfly technology has been extended even further back.
This club is all about MOI (Moment Of Inertia). This is based on the stats released by Ping, the most forgiving driver on the marketplace today and that's what this is all about! Especially for your mid to high handicappers out there.
It's about forgiveness! The club is creeping in to the territory of the MOI found in the square-headed drivers.
Let's not beat around the bush here, it's not all about forgiveness.
Ping assure us it's a performance golf club too.
There's a forged face on these drivers, and we absolutely love the sound of the ball flying off the face! That's enough about the specs let's start hitting some golf balls.
Ok, so before we get stuck into hitting the balls, I have a quick talk about the aesthetics of the club which for me it's over always very much a personal thing. First off the 460 head doesn't look that much bigger than the old head on the regular G400.
It's not noticeably different to look at. It is slightly more elongated, but perhaps again, that is just a little bit more of a confidence-inspiring feature! There is also an easy to use adjustable hosel on this club as we've found on most of the drivers we are reviewing.
The one noticeable difference that I have seen is the colour of the face. It was a darkened finish on the G400 whereas there is a lighter chrome finish on the G400 Max.
It really sets the face up behind the ball, and you honestly see a lot more of the clubface which I like.
Once again that is probably to add that little bit more confidence to you, the user! For this review, I'm using the ALTA CB shaft with the stiff flex. The ALTA CB shafts were fantastic on the Ping range last year. I've got my driver set at 9 degrees worth of loft.
Right okay, so we've 10 balls with the G400 max driver and let's start off with something exciting

2. Titleist TS2 Driver
We're going to review the new Titleist TS2 driver first off, it's a 460cc head title which has the Titleist standard branding.
It's actually a little bit more of a modern design a bit more streamlined which is going to help produce more club head speed. This will be a great asset to any player trying to decrease their handicap from the 10+ area.
So let's crack on.
The first shot was a beauty, there's a little bit of wind off the right but the strike was great. The flights may be a little bit low, but the club felt great.
The TS2 will give you speed and forgiveness straight off the first tee. And this is what it's done for me here! As you line up the club head against the ball, you can see the distinctive Titleist understated, unassuming but classy look.
The second shot was right on the money too, if I can hit another ball like that, I'll be happy.
Over the last two years, Titleist has deconstructed the driver's head, and the built the TS2, so every part of the club is designed to create speed!

3. Callaway Big Bertha Fusion Driver
Now we're going to be taking a look at the 460cc Callaway Big Bertha Fusion driver.
I've got two drivers to test today, both Callaway Fusion - one has 45.5-inch long shaft fitted while the other driver has a 44.5-inch long shaft fitted. I'm predicting that 44.5-inch shaft will be the most popular because it is looking to cater for the mid to high handicapper market.
The shafts fitted into the Callaway Big Bertha driver are Recoil by UST (this club is the first one they've ever made with a recoil shaft).
I'm looking forward to seeing how they feel.
I'm going to be starting off with the slightly shorter shaft Big Bertha as we're looking at the drivers which would best help you, mid handicappers, out there (and I think the shorter shaft is it).

4. Mizuno ST180 Driver
First off for all of you Mizuno fans - you will love the traditional blue.
The club has got this Mizuno colour everywhere! What I really like is the top at the top of the crown where it's joined to the face.
Read our full in-play review below...
First off for all of you Mizuno fans - you will love the traditional blue.
The club has got this Mizuno color everywhere! What I really like is the top at the top of the crown where it's joined to the face.
The crown seems to be set back a little bit, and there's this black line that goes across the length of the head. And what this actually does is change how the angle of the head looks when you address the ball.
We've got the club set at 7.5 degrees.
But as a result of the black line, the face seems more open and gives you more confidence over the ball.
Ok, next up I want to talk to you about the technology in the club. There's a lot of technology in the ST180. The Mizuno ST180 has a standard 460cc driver head which is manufactured out of Titanium, and we've been told there is something called the 'Waffle Crown' on the inside of the head to save weight, approximately 5g of weight to be exact.

5. Taylormade M2 Driver
Now we're going to be looking at the new Taylormade M2 driver 2017 edition, previous M2 drivers as many of you will know are really, really good products.
It was one of the longest hitting drivers Taylormade had ever produced, but it was also one of the most forgiving too.
Now we're going to be looking at the new Taylormade M2 driver 2017 edition, previous M2 drivers as many of you will know are really, really good products.
It was one of the longest hitting drivers Taylormade had ever produced, but it was also one of the most forgiving too.
The new version, believe it or not, is actually slightly better! We might not have gained tons of distance in our testing (we gained probably 5 or 10 yards), but we did see a substantial increase in stability though.
So guys, if you're looking for even more forgiveness than what the previous version of the M2 gave you then this driver is basically something that you need to look at getting in your bag!
Why This Club Will Be The Most Forgiving You Have Ever Used...
The club is still utilizing the multi-material construction with the titanium body and the carbon weave crown that obviously gives Taylormade the ability to reduce weight which they can then place lower down and further back so that it increases your launch angle at the strike.
As well as the stability of the driver. What's different on this version of the driver is that Taylormade is utilizing a seven-layer weave which makes it considerably lighter than the previous version allowing them to save another 12 to 13 grams of weight.
There is also a little loop at the back of this driver that I want to talk to you about.
It is called 'Geocaustic' technology.
This clever tech does a couple of things, it allows Taylormade actually to push their head size over 460cc but then also very smartly while indenting the sole a little bit which actually brings the club back to within the legal limit.

6. Wilson Triton DVD Driver

We highly recommend that you read our informative, hands-on review below before you make your mind up that a Wilson Staff could never make it into your bag.
Wilson might not be the first brand you think of when you're looking to buy a new driver but hold on right there.
The Wilson Staff Triton DVD driver is different.
Honestly.
It's different.
We highly recommend that you read our informative, hands-on review below before you make your mind up that a Wilson Staff could never make it into your bag.
Below you will find our hands-on range testing review of the Wilson Staff Triton DVD.
Today we've been testing the new Wilson Staff Triton DVD driver; we were excited to get our hands on this driver and check it for many reasons.
The first is that it's got a very cool backstory, for those of you that don't know this driver design appeared in a driver versus driver competition on the Golf Channel in the US.
On the Golf Channel show, aspiring golf equipment designers competed with their various designs to win a cash prize. But not only this, but they also got their driver developed by Wilson!
How amazing is that!
Then they had their driver marketed and sold to the public.
You may have already guessed, but the winner of that Golf Channel competition was the Triton DVD driver which was designed by a guy called Eric sillies.
The panel that judged the competition included Kevin Streelman, who is a Wilson PGA Tour player but also Frank Thomas who was the US GDA director and developed a number of the testing procedures for golf clubs in today's game.
There's a hell of a lot of equipment making and know-how pumped into this golf clubs design.
A driver that is jam-packed with cool features so good they will make your golf buddies weep on the tee box - because you keep on crushing them...
