Fourteen thousand. Golf Magazine’s hardy band of 40 ClubTesters struck 14,000 shots (give or take a few) while evaluating 25 new drivers for 2012. These big sticks offer innovative advancements in weighting, adjustability, aerodynamics and optics. In short, these drivers are better than ever at delivering “high launch, low spin” flight characteristics to maximize carry and roll with your tee shots. Golf Magazine selected 40 average Joes to rate and review clubs at the World Golf Village Resort in St. Augustine, Fla. Each tester assessed every model within one driver category on both the course and the driving range. Driver categories are: Tour (evaluated by ClubTesters with +1 to 10 handicaps), Game-Improvement (6 to 16 handicaps) and Maximum Game-Improvement (14 to 22 handicaps). Our exclusive research partner, Hot Stix Golf, custom-fit each tester and recommended clubs based on data gathered using the TrackMan launch monitor.  Click on a club to read ClubTester reviews or write your own, watch videos, and find out how to get your own custom fitting.
