Selling Points:

• Forged ring body
• Speed pocket
• Twist face technology

Key Features:

The SIM 2 Max driver tops our list of the most expensive drivers not so much for the price tag but because of the overall performance.

The SIM 2 Max driver is a great combination of distance and forgiveness.

The twist face technology is essentially a slight curvature of the face that helps produce straight flight even on low face shots.

While there is no adjustable weight on this driver, the split mass weights in the front and back do a good job of eliminating spin from the tee.

The SIM Max 2 is available in 9 degrees, 10.5 and an ultra-low flight 8 degrees of loft. This would be a great buy for any player looking for enhanced distance and forgiveness.

It works great for low and high handicappers. The SIM 2 Max comes with a graphite Fujikura Ventus Blue shaft.

Pros:

• Plays long
• Not the most expensive driver on our list
• Low spin off the tee

Cons:

• A bit heavy

Selling Points:

• Sleek design
• Large sweet spot
• Premium materials

Key Features:

If you want a driver that looks amazing and feels great off the tee then the Honma Beres will fit the bill. Made of premium metals, this driver also delivers on feel.

When you hit the ball dead-center, you can get great feedback with very little harsh vibration.

The Honma Beres also features a very distinct aerodynamic head that was designed to reduce drag and increase swing speed.

There is no adjustable weight but it does have a speed slot in the sole. Essentially, this slot allows the entire sole – not just the face – to flex.

This driver was made for distance so if you are looking to add a few extra yards to your drive this would be a good choice for you.

The flexing sole is stabilized by a radial faced internal rib that holds the body steady even while flexing. The Honma Bere driver comes in 10.5 degrees of loft and with a custom Honma shaft.

Pros:

• Feels great
• Increases swing speed
• Durable

The Hayate driver is available in 10.5 and 11.5 degrees of loft. The driver comes with an additional 10g weight so you can play around with draw.

It also comes with a premium Muira shaft that effectively dampens unwanted vibration and increases flex.

While not the most workable driver on our list the Big Bertha will be a godsend for high handicappers.

The stainless steel flash face is ultra-thin and works in tandem with the oversized head that boasts forward CG to help eliminate spin off the tee.

You may be intimidated by the size of the Big Bertha but once you pick it up, you won’t be able to resist taking a swing.

That’s because it has a triaxial carbon crown that helps keep the overall weight down. The Big Bertha is surprisingly comfortable to swing and despite it’s size, feels wieldy in the hands.

The Big Bertha B21 comes in 9, 10.5 and 12.5 degrees of loft. It also comes stock with a Callaway RCH graphite shaft.

Selling Points:

• Hybrid crown
• Aluminum vapor process

Then, an aluminum vapor administered in a vacuum sealed chamber stiffens the carbon crown to increase overall stability.

The crown is actually made of carbon fiber and titanium to allow for flex in some areas and increasing rigidity in others.

Finally, robotic polishing is used on the face for precision thickness in varying degrees. The face curvature also corrects biases.

The PXG 0811 Gen 4 driver is available in 9 degrees of loft and with a Damiana shaft.

Pros:

• Great for all skill levels
• Premium features
• Solid feel
