Best Drivers of 2020

With so many new drivers being launched onto the market for this year, it can be hard to choose between them, but to help you find the best to try out at the range or consider buying to enhance your game, Golfshake's Equipment Expert Ryan Rastall has selected his favourites for 2020, identifying the top releases and explaining why they are so good.

Ryan is the PGA Professional at Howley Hall Golf Club in Leeds and has tested many of these new drivers at the venue's acclaimed Performance Centre, including the use of TrackMan data to analyse their performance and make an informed assessment.

Callaway MAVRIK

Callaway's new MAVRIK Driver builds on the success of last year's Epic Flash, designed through the use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, creating a noticeably thinner face and expansive area to promote faster ball speeds. Additionally, the MAVRIK Sub Zero Driver is a lower spin model with a slightly small head, whereas the MAVRIK MAX is for golfers who need that extra little help to launch the ball, featuring the largest footprint of the three drivers.

PING G410

PING's G410 LST Driver is a low spin model that has been designed to produce stable spin with greater shot shaping control for those golfers with a faster swing speed, but this still possesses the popular moveable weight technology that was an acclaimed aspect of the original G410.

Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo

Less expensive than many other drivers on the market, the Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo is packed with technology that unsurprisingly has been introduced to help golfers drive the ball longer from the tee. The Turbocharged Cup Face is enhanced with a new variable face and provides a larger impact area for increased ball speeds.
