Looking for a new driver this season? Start your search with our top picks.

Stepping up to the tee with a driver fitted specifically to your unique swing can be the difference between consistently hitting the fairway or struggling in the rough. Long-and-straight tee shots are a major key to scoring low, which is why club manufacturers are emphasizing models that cater to every type of golfer.

Using state-of-the-art engineering, materials and technology, this year’s lot can help significantly improve your driving game — regardless of your skill level — via the likes of artificial intelligence, aerospace-grade carbon, pinpoint weighting and easy adjustability.

But before you get fitted, you need to first get an idea of which driver category best suits your game. Thankfully, club makers have made that process easier by delivering several driver versions within each line geared to specific player needs.

Here’s a quick guide to help you decide which models you should try this season.

If you want to launch your tee shots higher with a nice draw and find the fairway more often, then you need a forgiving driver.

For golfers wanting consistently solid distance along with a high level of forgiveness, these are aerodynamically built to optimize swing, ball speed and flight.

Low spin translates to longer tee shots — but only if you can hit the ball with enough power and thrust. Which is why these types of drivers are best suited for low handicap players. They’re adjustable and typically feature the most compact driver clubhead shapes of their respective lines.

Lightweight design, perfect for slower swing speeds and golfers who direly need some distance and directional forgiveness.
