Most Popular Golf Drivers Used In 2009

By George Statos

Once again, the golf manufacturers used every bit of their technological and design innovations to provide drivers designed to help golfers hit the ball farther and more accurately in 2009. There are a number of great options out there to fit every budget and handicap.

The best golf drivers of 2009 have many traits in common. For starters, they tend to have the 460cc oversized clubheads that do such a nice job in generating maximum distance. Many also use proprietary weighting system to maximize both the MOI and the center of gravity.

Those factors aren't as big of a deal for a low-handicap golfer, who is likely looking for something that is heavier on control and doesn't need the added forgiveness that those drivers provide. But for many golfers, a game improvement driver is the way to go, and the latest series of drivers have a large enough sweet spot and an optimized center of gravity that turns off-center hits into impressive-looking and accurate drives.

Of course, these new drivers cost money. The usual dividing line between higher and lower-priced models is the $350 mark. There are a ton of great buys below that number, such as the Ping G-10, the TaylorMade Burner, the Adams Golf Speedline, the Callaway Big Bertha Diablo, and the Cleveland Launcher.

For those looking to spend a little more, there are some higher-end models that do everything but get the ball down the fairway under their own power. The Callaway FT-9 and FT-IQ, TaylorMade R7 Limited, and Nike SQ Dymo and Dymo2 STR8-FIT are some of the best drivers of 2009, and a few hits on the driving range are enough to sell anyone on those models.

Whatever your budget, skill level, or price range, 2009 produced a driver for you. With a little effort checking out the best reviews and pricing options on the Internet, you'll be able to find a club that meets your needs.
