1. Callaway Big Bertha
The #1 ranked driver on our list is the Callaway Big Bertha. It was more than a golf club, it was a cultural phenomenon. When the Big Bertha was introduced in 1991 it was truly revolutionary (rare for a golf club if you think about it). Crazy to think, but at the time the 190cc head size seemed like a club that played like a man among boys. Combined with an aggressive advertising campaign that captured the public’s imagination, it was literally an instant hit. Golfers of almost all skill levels saw immediate benefits. Professional players quickly adopted Big Bertha, which led to many wins, which caused many amateur players to flock to stores around the world to buy. They flew off the shelves.
2. Title 975D
It was in Tiger’s bag when he won the Tiger Slam. It was David Duval’s choice the year he became world no.1. To this day, it remains one of the best-selling pilots of all time. It was also the No. 1 driver played on the PGA Tour. I guarantee you or someone you know has played with the classic Titleist 975D.
3. PING G400 LST
A unicorn in its time, the G400 LST set the standard for a class of drivers that offer relatively low spin with above-average forgiveness. It won our most requested driver test in its first year of release and was so good that it stuck around even longer than PING expected. There is a case that, across the industry, many of the best drivers of recent years are fruit of the 400 LST tree.
4. TaylorMade R7 SuperQuad
TaylorMade has long been at the forefront of driver innovation, consistently boasting and solidifying its reputation asThe number 1 driver in Golf.
In 2004, with the release of the r7 Quad driver, TaylorMade brought floating weight technology to the masses. 3 years later TaylorMade revolutionized the market again with the introduction of the r7 SuperQuad. With a maximum permissible head volume of 460cc and four movable weights, the driver captured the attention and, in no small measure, the hearts of players everywhere.
The SuperQuad was something revolutionary… 26 grams of adjustment was very heavy to ride at the time, and it still is today.
5. PING G430 MAX 10K
While 10K MOI was a big talking point this season, what stands out about the G430 MAX 10K is that it achieves its high MOI numbers without excessive torque. What really sets our 2024 Most Wanted winner apart is how incredibly straight it flies. For many golfers, coloring between the lines off the tee is one of the most difficult challenges in golf. The G430 MAX 10K makes it much easier.
6. TaylorMade M1
The original M1 signaled a terrible reset for TaylorMade. Coming off a run that included the R1, SLDR, and JetSpeed ​​among others, the M1 was a stock driver that helped get TaylorMade back on track (or, in this case, two tracks). Featuring TaylorMade’s first carbon fiber crown and a more than competent collection of shafts, the M1 re-established TaylorMade as a leader in driver innovation and performance.
7. Callaway Biggest Big Bertha
Have you ever wondered why the word Titanium is written on almost every golf club? That’s why. Callaway Biggest Big Bertha driver made the word famous. When this driver was released in 1997, I thought it was and will forever be the greatest driver head ever made in golf.
The use of Big Bertha drivers by professional tour players on the five major tours (PGA, Senior PGA, LPGA, NIKE and PGA European Tour) in 1997 increased by 66%. There are evolutionary and there are revolutionary. Biggest Big Bertha was truly revolutionary.
8. TaylorMade Bubble Burner
For the #8 ranked driver on our list, we have to go back nearly 30 years. It was a long time ago that Taylor Made was actually two words, now it’s just one. As you may recall, Coolio’s Gagngsta Paradise topped the charts. The Taylormade Bubble Burner was first introduced to the world in January 1995 at the PGA Show. It was the first titanium steering company to include that Bubble shaft, and it didn’t take long for the copper-colored bomber to start flying off the shelves. So what made this driver one of the best selling drivers of all time? Marketing. The bubble pivot was a key differentiator. Which the company said would increase swing stability and clubhead speed.
9. Title TSR3
From 2009 to 2018, you could make a reasonable argument that headline drivers were lagging behind. That changed with the first TS driver. The TSi brought Titleist back into the conversation, but it was the TS and, in our minds, the TSR3 in particular, that re-established Titleist as a force in the driver category. An endlessly playable low-spinning driver, the TSR3 offered sensible forgiveness for its niche in the market with looks, sound and feel that are as close to perfect as we’ve ever seen.
10. Adams 9064 LS
One could argue that the 9064LS was Adams’ last great driver. Like the others at the top of this list, it was ahead of its time, offering aerodynamic shape and low spin properties that have become talking points throughout the industry. For reasons that aren’t entirely tangible, this 9064 LS remains an absolute favorite among the MyGolfSpy staff.
