Choosing a Clubhead Design
STATIC
When it comes to drivers, it’s critical to determine the type of head design that will benefi t the player
most. Following are questions that will help you make the right determination;
In general, the better the player, the more fairways he hits, so the fi rst and most important question to
ask is:
About how many fairways do you hit per round?
Fairways Hit/Round
SECTION 3
0-5 Improving
5-10 Skilled
Driver Head Design
10+ Tour-Caliber
Be prepared that you’ll encounter exceptions. For example, a senior with a slower swing speed and higher
handicap who nonetheless hits 8 to 12 fairways per round. Such a player will no doubt benefi t much more
from a larger, distance-enhancing clubhead design.
Which is more important to you: Forgiveness or Workability?
In general, Improving players seek a large and stable clubhead with a low center of gravity (CG) that’s easy
to launch and which forgives their mis-hits; Tour-Caliber players typically seek a smaller head with a higher
CG that makes it easier to draw and fade the ball, and Skilled players seek a head that combines excellent
forgiveness with a good degree of workability.
