2nd Swing announces 2025 Fitter’s Choice drivers

Leveraging an incredible amount of quantitative and qualitative data from thousands of fittings at our seven locations, 2nd Swing Golf proudly presents its list of the top drivers of 2025: Fitter’s Choice. Below, learn more about the top two models in each 2025 Fitter’s Choice category. Through countless swings and extensive data analysis, the following big sticks have more than proven their mettle in the 2nd Swing fitting bays.
Best Core/Max Drivers
Designed for the broadest spectrum of golfers seeking a blend of forgiveness and distance, two drivers stood out in the Core/Max category for 2nd Swing fitters: the Titleist GT2 and the Ping G440 Max.
The Titleist GT2 continues a run of Titleist drivers that have delivered high ball speeds without sacrificing stability. Our fitters consistently saw players achieve impressive carry distances and solid dispersion results with the GT2. It’s a true workhorse, offering a fantastic balance for golfers who prioritize playability and reliable performance.
Likewise, the Ping G440 Max also packs a serious punch from a distance and MOI perspective. 2nd Swing fitters raved about its ability to keep errant shots in play, helping golfers minimize dispersion and find more fairways than their previous gamer. If you’re looking for a driver to fill you with confidence on every tee box, even when your swing isn’t dialed, the G440 Max is a fantastic option.
Best Low-Spin Drivers
For those with higher swing speeds looking to optimize launch conditions and maximize distance by reducing spin, 2nd Swing fitters recommend the Ping G440 LST and the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond.
The Ping G440 LST continues Ping’s strong showing in the 2025 edition of Fitter’s Choice, offering a tour-proven low-spin option that still provides a surprising amount of forgiveness for its profile. Our fitters found that skilled players could really dial in their launch and spin numbers with the G440 LST.
The Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond proved to be another formidable player in the low-spin arena this year. This driver consistently delivered blistering ball speeds and a penetrating flight, making it a favorite among our fitters for golfers who generate plenty of clubhead speed seeking to turn every ounce of that speed into distance.
Best Max/Draw-Biased Drivers
Finally, for golfers seeking a forgiving, draw-biased option, 2nd Swing fitters circled the Ping G440 SFT and the Cobra DS-Adapt Max-K.
With the Ping G440 SFT, 2nd Swing fitters have witnessed countless golfers turn their slices into gentler fades or even draws. Its strategic weighting and design promote a closed clubface at impact, helping golfers find the center of the fairway more often.
The Cobra DS-Adapt Max-K is a newer contender that made a significant impression on our fitters. As its name suggests, the driver boasts a highly adaptable design, and its forgiving nature has eliminated many big misses in fitting bays in 2025.
The selections above aren’t just arbitrary picks; they’re the result of thousands of fittings, hours of data analysis, and the seasoned judgment of master club fitters. To sweeten things further, every single driver on the 2nd Swing 2025 Fitter’s Choice list is in stock and ready to ship within two days. Don’t wait or wonder. The right driver, chosen by experts, is ready to be delivered straight to your door and transform your game.

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.”

If that’s the sound of hitting fairways, how can you hate that? ?

Ping really hit a sweep too bad the drivers are so polarizingly ugly and awful sounding

Nah, Ping drivers are like a girl that looks a little different but has a great personality. Turns out she is beautiful—just like a driver that hits fairways.
