Famous Golf Drivers
This document highlights several famous golf drivers that have made an impact on the sport.
Titleist 975D
Known for its classic pear shape and solid feel, the Titleist 975D was extremely popular with professional and amateur golfers alike in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was the standard for many tour pros, offering a blend of workability and lower spin.
PING G Series
The PING G Series, particularly the PING G2 and G5, were instrumental in popularizing high Moment of Inertia (MOI) and forgiveness. They are famous for their large, perimeter-weighted heads and distinctive "turbulators" on the crown in later models, designed to improve aerodynamics.
Callaway Big Bertha
The original Callaway Big Bertha driver, released in the early 1990s, is famous for introducing a paradigm shift in driver technology. It was one of the first drivers to feature an oversized head, making it significantly more forgiving than its smaller, traditional rivals. This design concept fundamentally changed the golf equipment industry.
TaylorMade R7 Quad
The TaylorMade R7 Quad introduced the concept of movable weight technology to drivers. This innovation allowed golfers to adjust the center of gravity (CG) of the clubhead, offering customization for draw or fade bias. This technology set the stage for the adjustable drivers that dominate the market today.
Cobra F9 Speedback
The Cobra F9 Speedback gained fame for its combination of aerodynamic shaping and low Center of Gravity (CG). It was one of the first drivers to successfully blend low drag with a high MOI, resulting in faster clubhead speeds and greater forgiveness.
