The latest in drivers for the golfer that loves to hit the ball far and straight

Drivers are with out a doubt the main beneficiaries of technological advancement in golf club design and materials, as illustrated by the multitude of new high-tech models currently available. The Callaway ERC Fusion first introduced last year—was the first in what has become a growing number of models that feature club-heads made from a combination of titanium and carbon composite.

These drivers, which are now offered by the likes of Adams, Cleveland, Cobra, Hippo, Mizuno and Yonex, among others, are designed to provide customized internal weighting for enhanced overall performance. In addition to the carbon composite trend, many companies also are offering drivers featuring external weights some movable, some fixed, which allow golfers to choose the exact type of performance they want.

Adams, Hogan, MacGregor and TaylorMade are some currently offering models with this technology. Finally, there are a host of new drivers that are constructed solely of titanium, but which represent significant upgrades from past models.

About ladies golf club drivers: Today's manufacturers design clubs specifically for female swings, often equipped with shorter and more flexible shafts, low CGs, smaller grips and greater loft. These women-friendly drivers emphasize added distance as their primary design characteristic.

The best Callaway club that has ever been made available to the public. A high MOI, produced by internal weighting, and an ultra-thin, refined titanium face give the new Big Bertha outstanding forgiveness and a maximum allowable COR for enhanced ball speed and overall distance. Other features of the BB 454 include Tru-Bore Technology, which extends the shaft tip completely through the club-head to the sole for greater feel and control, and an RCH 65w graphite shaft that's specifically designed to maximize the new

Big Bertha's performance. Big Bertha stainless-steel fairway woods also available.

ERC Fusion driver is neither a composite driver with a titanium face nor a titanium driver with a composite body, but rather a highly evolved golf club that maximizes the inherent benefits of each material. The concept and technology behind the Fusion is mind-bending, but what's important to know is the 40 to 50 grams of weight saved by the use of carbon composite for the body is effectively redistributed to key areas of the head to assist both slicers and hookers to consistently hit it straight.

Next pick in are list of drivers are:

King Cobra golf clubs -The carbon-composite crown of the King Cobra Comp displaces as much as 15 grams of weight to the low and rear areas of the clubhead exactly where it can do golfers the most help. A milled rhombus-shaped face insert interacts with the club's thin titanium walls to increase clubface flex for extra COR. Two weight inserts in the rear heel of the club head increase launch angle and add stability through the impact zone. The 414cc model is designed for players who prefer a smaller club head for shot maneuverability, and the larger 454cc head is the ideal choice for players seeking outright forgiveness and distance. King Cobra Comp fairway woods also available.

Bottom Line: If distance is your modus operandi, the King Cobra 454 Comp is hard to beat.

Cleveland golf clubs - The Launcher 460 Comp is made with a lightweight carbon-fiber crown. This lightweight section allows for the redistribution of 25 grams of weight to the lower and deeper sections of the club head. This redistribution of mass lowers the CG and moves it away from the face to promote high-trajectory, low-spinning shots. The mass redistribution also allows for additional weighting in the perimeter that helps increase MOl, making the Launcher Comp more resistant to twisting on off-center hits. An argon-quenched, beta-titanium, laser-welded face helps create a hitting area that increases ball speed off all areas.
