Golf club submissions were 2,500 in 2008 (as opposed to 500 a year in the 1990s). There are so many clubs these days that it's very hard for someone to find the right golf clubs.
Companies have their own research department and come out with different technologies every year. Scroll more to read about some of the more popular manufacturers.
Cobra Golf may not be the most popular manufacturer out there but it makes a great driver called the Cobra S9-1. Having a street price of $300, it's not the most expensive driver but it delivers real results. In fact, this driver won the Hot List 2009 gold award for drivers under $300.
Adams Golf sponsors Tom Watson and is known with its amazing hybrid technology. The Adams Speedline though is its great new driver that has captured the hearts of many, including the Hot List 2009 as it won gold. The rounded sole takes getting used to because it might rock back and forth at address off the tee but once you get used to it, expect to hit it looooong.
Callaway Golf is really pushing the envelope with its high end drivers (all its 2009 models are over $350 a piece). They made two drivers. One with a more traditional shape (FT-9) and one a square shape (FT-IQ). Both are amazingly long and Phil is already using the FT-9. He's not trying crazy things like two drivers though anymore but who knows as he might use the drivers to chip.
Nike Golf has steadily made it into one of the most popular golf manufacturers by signing up Tiger Woods, Anthony Kim and others. In fact, Nike sponsored many of the top golfers in the world and has many amazing drivers.
Titleist's 909D2/909D3 driver this year is incredibly good. It's as long as any drivers out on the market today. With its SureFit interchangeable fitting system, this driver gets top marks. Whether it's the 909D2's forgiveness or the 909D3's workability, there's a club for you.
Ping Golf's 2009 value driver offering is the G10. With a street price of only $300, this driver has lofts from 7.5 up to as high as 13.5 degrees. The standard length is well over 45 inches and it might be too long for people to have good control.
Taylormade golf is great because you can actually buy the drivers at Costco for an even better price than it is sold anywhere. The driver is nothing but quality though though. Just watch out for its increased length because it is much of the reason why the ball is going farther.
Cleveland Golf is a great brand ever since it started the Launcher series. I still play the Launcher 460 Comp and cannot find a driver head that works better for my swing. To say Cleveland makes good clubs is a huge understatement. I love Cleveland Golf.
