As the golf game evolves, so do golf club manufacturers. These days, there are so many different companies making clubs and they all make many different models. How are people supposed to find the right ones?

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 is known for its hybrids but they also started to enter the arena of drivers in recent years. Their latest technology, the Adams Insight Tech A4 driver, has a street price of $370 and comes in loft 8.5, 9.5, and 10.5. It has a pretty traditional looking club head, and the curved shape is supposed to save weight.

Callaway Golf almost stands for forgiveness. They also pioneered the uniflex shaft used in its irons. The Callaway FT-IQ is its latest square shaped driver. If you can get pass the sound that it makes (and the shape), you will bomb it. The driver is amazingly straight even though your golf buddies might make fun of you for cheating.

Nike Golf catapulted into the golf scene with the endorsement of Tiger Woods. I’m sure they are hard at work and Tiger must love being able to test all the different options and help them in designing the golf clubs to golf balls.

Titleist is arguably one of the most popular brands in golf. While the Titleist 909D Comp only received a silver award in this year’s The Hot List, the 909D2/D3 won amazing awards and captured the gold. It also the leader in look/sound/feel category of all drivers tested in the over $350 series.

Ping outdoes itself with its new Ping Rapture V2 series. Already the sponsor of the longest hitter on tour, Bubba Watson, Ping is on route to capture the driver market with this new club. With Ping’s driver, it’s all about performance.

Taylormade is the best marketing company in the golf industry and the burner series is another great example of this. The Taylormade Burner has become a popular series with this year’s Taylormade Burner 2009 Driver promising to be even better.

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.
