Drivers with draw bias have weight in the heel area. That weight will make the clubface naturally close more easily on your downswing, so you will be less likely to slice. Several of the new 460cc monster-size drivers have this feature. Closed-face Designs: Some drivers look like the face of the club points left when you set them behind the ball. Which driver should I buy? But you may also end up wasting hundreds of dollars if you buy a new club that's ill suited to. Subscribe to GOLF.
The commonly held belief is “the bigger the club head, the longer you'll hit the ball. Xem Phim City Hunter Tap 19. ' Most players reason a driver with a larger head provides a bigger “sweet spot” so it's easier to get away with an off-center shot. They're right, but some drivers have such large heads that they get in the way of most golfers. If you are a weekend golfer and you hit the ball less than 250 yards off the tee, look for a driver that has about a 450 cc head. You might hit a driver that has a larger head, and you might hit the ball farther, but you're likely to sacrifice accuracy. There are three shafts that are made of different metals: steel, graphite and titanium. Drivers with steel shafts generally are less expensive and are heavier than the others.
If you are a high handicapper, spend more money to buy a driver with a graphite or titanium shaft because their less weight will translate to a higher club-head speed, and that means you will hit the ball farther. Further, all three types of shafts come with five flexes: senior's, woman's, regular, stiff and extra stiff. If your ball carries less than 200 yards, choose a woman's shaft; 225 yards, senior's; 250 yards, regular; 275 yards, stiff; 300 yards, extra stiff. Finally, make sure you choose the right length of shaft. Many amateur golfers hit with a longer shaft to add distance, but they are sacrificing accuracy. For many years, golfers chose drivers with the least amount of loft because it was commonly believed the lower the loft, the longer the ball would travel because they would hit it lower.
New research indicates something different in that balls that fly higher, fly farther. Your choice of loft depends on your swing speed, and your pro shop or sporting goods store should help you determine this. If you have an average swing speed of less than 100 mph, you probably should choose a driver with a loft of at least 12 degrees. Only choose a driver with less loft if you swing considerably faster, but never less than about 10 degrees of loft.
