What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

Sun Mountain makes excellent bags, without having to pay the UA markup.
There are online stores where one can pick up last year’s Sun Mountain bags at a discount.

Forget about the dividers the over inflated price is a no-go for me right off the bat. Ping always had the best carry bags in the past and still do I think. They are not cheap but nowhere near these. Nike got out of equipment business don’t know why UA is starting

Never liked Under Armous ridiculously large logo on everything they brand. I get the branding, but the way they go about it, seems louds and obnoxious. I stopped buying their gear because of it. That and well, at least their shoes are complete junk.

add in tax and we’re at $300 for bags now…this bag would cost more than my irons that would go in them

Stick to clothing. UA is about value and going upmarket could really hurt you.

It’s a strange thing the 14 way divider. For whatever reason there does seem to be an inverse relationship to handicap. I play with many different people each year with whom I haven’t played before. I have never played with one that was a single digit and had a 14 way divider bag. Found similar experiences from those I play with regularly. Better players seem to enjoy walking much more, and one wouldn’t walk with a 14-way divider bag, nor expect a caddy to haul it around. I have no doubt there are good players with them, but it seems interesting. I really can’t understand why people have such issues with grips. Unless they’re sticky Winn grips or something. Another thing I haven’t seen on a single digit. . . Except JohnDaly.

I have a 14 divider cart bag playing to a 3 handicap? And I love to walk, I just so happen to use a push cart instead of carrying it. That bag easily comes in at 60lbs with all the crap I have packed in it.

I agree I like having a 14 way bag as well. What does a bag have to do with your handicap anyway? I find my club in 1.4 seconds

No problem. Have a 14 way bag. Just don’t expect it to be the lightweight, easy to carry model. Again, it’s not like it affects your game…

4 way top on both walk bags ? Really ? Should have done a 14-way top and I would grab one in a second !!!

Feb 4, 2017 at 1:44 pm
You’re perhaps too hung up on club dividers. The 4 way divider helps to provide the lightness to an easy-to-carry bag. My lightweight Titleist bag with only 4 dividers allows me to shoot to a sub 3 handicap… and I can always find my desired club within 1.7 seconds. Why do you need 14 dividers?

Feb 4, 2017 at 5:41 pm
Not too hung up. For those of us with mid-size grips, 4-ways are terrible for tangle.
Double Mocha Man
Feb 4, 2017 at 8:59 pm
My 4 way is good for about 3 inches then all the clubs and grips mingle in the bottom of the bag. Wonderful diversity with the driver grips hanging with the putter grips. Putter grips matter. Do you use those tubes for your mid-size grips?

Sub 3 handicap but a plus-3 FIGJAM.

Feb 5, 2017 at 2:19 pm
Sorry… my bad. I shouldn’t have referred to a handicap. I was just trying to get the point across that a 4 way bag won’t affect your scoring ability.

4 way or 14 way personally I don’t think is a big deal especially if each 4 way divider runs down throughout the bag separating each section.
Also it seems a 14 way divider would let each iron swing freely when walking or riding causing extra bag chatter (honestly no idea if that’s the case, just a thought). My titleist bag has a 6 way divider and have 0 trouble with clubs getting intertwined, but each section is sectioned off to prevent that.
Anyways, personally haven’t been overwhelmed by the new shoes or bags released so far lately. Maybe they’ll have different color ways that might look a bit better, JMHO.
