There are so many companies making golf clubs currently. Every company have so many models which makes for many combinations. If you are a golfer, are you able to pick out the right golf clubs for yourself?
Every company has their own technology which is different than others. Read more to find out about the popular club manufacturers.
Cobra Golf may not be the most popular manufacturer out there but it makes a great driver called the Cobra S9-1. Having a street price of $300, it’s not the most expensive driver but it delivers real results. In fact, this driver won the Hot List 2009 gold award for drivers under $300.
Adams Golf sponsors Tom Watson and is known with its amazing hybrid technology. The Adams Speedline though is its great new driver that has captured the hearts of many, including the Hot List 2009 as it won gold. The rounded sole takes getting used to because it might rock back and forth at address off the tee but once you get used to it, expect to hit it looooong.
Callaway Golf is very good at making clubs that are very forgiving. The FT-9 driver from Callaway is its latest and it’s a very good looking club head. It also sports a ton of different lofts and options (9,10,11 degrees neutral, 9,10,11,13 in draw, 8.5,9.5,10.5 in tou and 8.5,9.5,10.5 in tour draw).
Nike Golf catapulted into the golf scene with the endorsement of Tiger Woods. I’m sure they are hard at work and Tiger must love being able to test all the different options and help them in designing the golf clubs to golf balls.
Titleist is arguably one of the most popular brands in golf. While the Titleist 909D Comp only received a silver award in this year’s The Hot List, the 909D2/D3 won amazing awards and captured the gold. It also the leader in look/sound/feel category of all drivers tested in the over $350 series.
Ping Golf’s 2009 value driver offering is the G10. With a street price of only $300, this driver has lofts from 7.5 up to as high as 13.5 degrees. The standard length is well over 45 inches and it might be too long for people to have good control.
Taylormade has always been a huge sponsor on the PGA Tour for drivers. The new Taylormade Burner is a great driver and it’s even available at a discount at Costco. The driver is a high launch, relatively low spin driver that will fit golfers that seem to hit down on the ball.
Cleveland used to be very closed to my old office, but they moved and create the Cleveland Launcher series. Years later, I still play the Launcher 460 Comp from a few years ago and it’s simply amazing. There’s no fitting system from Cleveland though which is a huge disappointment, considering that this is the hottest area in the golf industry right now.
