Definition

The longest club in a golfer's bag, typically featuring the largest head, lowest loft (8-12 degrees), and longest shaft, designed specifically for maximum distance from tee shots. Modern drivers incorporate advanced materials and technologies to optimize distance while maintaining forgiveness and accuracy. Understanding driver technology and technique is crucial for maximizing tee shot performance and setting up favorable approach shots. Driver selection and fitting significantly affect distance potential and overall scoring. Professional golfers often carry multiple drivers with different specifications for varying course conditions and strategic requirements.
