Oh, I can’t wait to see those faces.
It’s that time of the year again where many of us are planning to travel here and there to visit family for the holidays. You may well have plenty of time when you’re driving home for Christmas to reflect on how your golf driving has been over the past 12 months…
Making an ideal drive off the tee is one of the aspects of golf that keeps us coming back for more, even on the bad days. However, making that dream drive and placing the ball exactly where you want it to be may seemingly only happen on the rare occasion.
It goes without saying that finding a golf driver that ticks all the boxes for you will help you make better drives more often, so where do you start?
Today we want to help you reflect on how you’ve been getting on with your golf driver throughout 2024, and give you some insights into what you can do if you’re looking to add a new one to your bag.
Now, how many times do you take a driver off the tee when you play a round of golf? Maybe every 13 or 14 holes if you discount the Par-3s. What percentage of your drives do you think make the fairway? If you feel only half of your drives make the fairway, that’s a good third of your round you’ll spend hunting for balls in the rough.
So, if you do feel you recall more time spent in the rough than on the fairway, it may well be time to switch up your driver. Getting yourself a new wood could be the answer to finding more fairways, but which driver is best for you?
Naturally, when selecting a new driver, you want to make sure that it looks and feels right to you. Come into the shop and have a look at those we have on display. Pick them up and study them.
Our initial impressions certainly contribute to how we feel we’ll get on with the club. How does the golf driver feel when you’re holding it at address? Does the clubhead fill you with confidence? Or does it feel like a small target to strike the ball with?
Once you’ve found a driver type that you like the look of, you’ve got to consider the mechanics of the club. What kind of weight shaft do you want? One that’s very flexible or one that’s on the stiff end of the spectrum?
We want to give you an example of some of the current golf drivers we’re stocking in the pro shop that you can come and see in-person. When it comes to these clubs, you really can’t go wrong with Callaway.
Callaway’s range of Paradym Ai Smoke golf drivers have been hugely popular over the past year, and when you take a peek under the hood, you’ll understand why. There are four distinct drivers in this range, and we know each kind of golfer will find one of these perfect for their game.
The Paradym Ai Smoke Max D driver’s construction includes a high MOI clubface, meaning the driver is incredibly resistant to twisting on impact with the ball, giving you some reliable, accurate strikes. The club has also been weighted to ensure you have a consistent, stable swing.
The Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max driver has a forgiving shape, and the perimeter weighting allows you up to 19 yards of shot correction. This useful mechanism will give you an adequate degree of fade bias to help keep you from hooking your drives to the left.
If you have a naturally slow swing speed, you may not have lots of distance in your drives. The Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast driver has a very lightweight design that makes it feel wieldy and aerodynamic as you swing it through the air, helping you get faster ball speeds on your strikes for more distance.
A low-spin model that’s ideal for consistent ball strikers that want to get the most out of their drives, the Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond driver features a 14g weight that’s been positioned near the front to give you fast ball speed and low spin. If you have a fast swing speed, this is the club for you.
So, if you’re struggling off the tee, it might well be time to treat yourself to a new golf driver. We’re ready and eager to help you with all your golfing needs in the pro shop.
