There is more science and technology in golf than any other sport and the driver, the most powerful club in the bag, is also the club with the most cutting edge technology. Over the years, we have seen the driver evolved tremendously in many aspects. Recently, Tour Pros had the chance to hit vintage clubs at the Northern Trust Open, including Rory McIlroy, who previously showed us the performance differences with the technological advancements.
There are many options for golfers to choose from when picking a driver, such as the Taylormade M1, M2 or the Nike Golf Vapor Fly, just to name a few. In episode 1 of the Driven to Innovate series from Golf Digest, its equipment editors take a look at the advancements of some of these clubs. From its adjustability that took the club from a “one size fit all” concept to that of “all sizes in one,” as well as the aerodynamics and materials, these improvements have helped golfers everywhere maximize their game.
