The new matte black crowns proved to be a favorite among our testers at address, but it ...
We tested:Cleveland Launcher XL: 9°, 10.5°, 12°; Launcher XL Lite: 10.5°, 12°; Launcher XL Lite Draw: 10.5° Our take:According to our testers it’s “one of the loudest drivers out there” and “the ball jumps off the face,” making it a top choice for golfers who want to make an audial statement on the first tee. The shorter length as a hit, too, meani...
We tested:9.5°, 10.5°, 11°, 12° Our take:With its look, feel and forgiveness, Cobra’s LTDx appealed to our testers on multiple fronts. “Great off the toe,” one GOLF tester said. “The face felt really hot,” noted another. Still others singled out the “neutral-sitting face angle” and sleek aesthetics of a driver that was designed with insights from a...
We tested:9°, 10.5°, 12° Our take:Everything that makes the stock LTDx great can be found in the LTDx Max, only this time it comes with extra weight in the heel to once and for all put an end to the dreaded banana ball. We found it to be a long and forgiving bomber with a noticeable draw bias even though it’s not a high-spin driver. Shots fired fle...
We tested:9°, 10.5° Our take:Our testers quickly noted the “neutral sitting face angle” and raved about the aesthetics—something we agree is a huge improvement in not just this model, but the whole LTDx line. It’s a forgiving headshape and the internal workings make it long but make no bones about it—this is a player’s driver, made for those who wa...
We tested:9.5°, 10.5°, 11.5° Our Take:The lightest construction in the Cobra family, Air-X is designed for beginners and players with smooth tempos in need of extra pop. Other game-improvement features include heel weighting and a large, fast sweet spot that imparts greater speed no matter where you make contact. The Details:Made from premium light...
We tested:9° (loft ranges between 7° – 11°) Our take:Mizuno’s latest drivers are the best drivers we’ve ever seen from the company — not just because they’re the newest, but also relatively speaking from year to year. The ST-G is the newest from the company, affording a tremendous level of customization via multiple weight options on the sole. Whic...
We tested: 10.5°, 12° Our take:We wouldn’t categorically call the ST-X an anti-slice driver by any means, but the added draw bias does in fact work its hardest to counteract slices thanks to internal weighting that favors the heel region. This speeds up the toe through the hit, helping prevent open-faced clubheads and aids in reducing left-to-right...
We tested:9.5°, 10.5° Our take:For those who want a drive that produces a penetrating loft with medium-to-low spin rates, the ST-Z has proven itself among the best drivers in that category. According to our testers, “the ball launches with added power and it feels like I can shape shots if I need to.” Furthermore, another tester is on record saying...
We Tested:G425 Max: 9°, 10.5°, 12°; G425 SFT: 10.5°; G425 LST: 9°, 10.5° Our take:Most of golf’s big dogs come in either of two breeds: sturdy, stable and dependable, like a St. Bernard, or flashy, dashing, off-to-the-races distance, like a greyhound. But Ping’s G425 was like the ideal mutt, combining the best of both breeds. Hitting the Max versio...
