Comparing golf drivers by handicap and brand is the best way to begin finding the right driver for you. Each major golf brand designs drivers for specific types of golfers. Whether you’re a professional golfer, avid amateur or a beginner, there’s a driver with your name on it.

Similar to how we compared golf irons, fairway woods and hybrids by handicap and brand, we have done the same with drivers from 2020 to 2022. We’ll be looking into top brands like Callaway, TaylorMade, PING and more.

Handicap can dictate which type of driver will work best in your golf bag. For example, the best golf drivers for high handicappers typically have a higher launch angle. If you’re a low-handicap golfer, you may be interested in drivers with higher customizability and control. If you’re a mid-handicap golfer, you’ll have plenty of options to explore.

Callaway Drivers by Handicap

Callaway drivers are known for being some of the most technologically advanced on the market. The best Callaway drivers, according to tour players and amateurs, are the ones designed with artificial intelligence (A.I.).

Callaway Golf took drivers to the next level by using AI to test millions of variations before releasing their Callaway Epic Flash driver - the first driver ever produced thanks to AI. The process has only improved since.
