Anyone looking for a new golf driver in 2009 has a lot to be happy about, as the golf company’s went beyond the usual cosmetic tweaks to produce some truly great products. The best golf drivers of 2009 used the latest technology and innovative design to increase distance, reliability, and forgiveness.

The best golf drivers of 2009 have many traits in common. For starters, they tend to have the 460cc oversized clubheads that do such a nice job in generating maximum distance. Many also use proprietary weighting system to maximize both the MOI and the center of gravity.

Those factors aren’t as big of a deal for a low-handicap golfer, who is likely looking for something that is heavier on control and doesn’t need the added forgiveness that those drivers provide. But for many golfers, a game improvement driver is the way to go, and the latest series of drivers have a large enough sweet spot and an optimized center of gravity that turns off-center hits into impressive-looking and accurate drives.

Another concern in picking drivers is the budget. There are a number of quality drivers that cost less than $350, and among the best golf drivers of 2009 are the Adams Golf Speedline, the Callaway Big Bertha Diablo, the Cleveland Launcher, the Ping G10, and the TaylorMade Burner.

On the other hand, the TaylorMade R7 Limited, Nike SQ Dymo and Dymo2 STR8-FIT, and Callaway FT-9 and FT-IQ cost a bit more. Each is above the $350 price threshold that generally signals the higher-end models of driver. But each has enough features to be worth the money to those with a little extra to spend.

Regardless of your budget, ability, or brand preferences, there were great drivers produced for you in 2009. Check out the different options, either on the Internet or at the driving range. You won’t be disappointed.
