What is the best driver of 2022?
I’ve got my hands on 19 different models to find out. I put every big stick through their paces, testing them using state of the art TrackMan technology and Titleist Pro V1 golf balls – both on the range and out on the golf course.
I’ve broken this project down to categories. So which driver came out on top. And, perhaps more importantly, which will I be putting in play this season?
First of all, let’s run down the contenders…

Enjoyed the video but without including the new tour edge and the new Mizuno then this test I don’t think is a complete one
If Ping was to "re-issue" or update the 425 max with a duller more solid sound and take that absurd "CLANK" away, it could once again sell like hot cakes. The sound is soooo detrimental to people staying with it.
No PXG? In terms of performance and price it's hard to beat.
Ahhh no Mizuno…I have the ST200 and love it but would have been interested in your thoughts on the 220?
Anyway, great apart from that 👍
I couldn’t agree more 👍🏾👍🏾
Fantastic and comprehensive video and review of all the major drivers out there.
Hanna, what shaft do you use in your driver?
Whhooo hoo …. Had mine 4 weeks now and love it. Good choice !
Hanna great video as usual I have just picked up my new driver and I have put the same club i my bag as you it was the best I tried I have put the rouge st pro irons in the bag to I really like them to it has been really difficult to get clubs this year I would like to get some am 9 wedges to match in with the set have you try out them cheers jj
New
Hanna, great review!! I went to a Callaway fitting 2 days ago at my local muni and as usual we seem to have similar games and taste, the Rouge Max was 18 yards longer and just as straight as my most fav driver of all time, G400 Max. Ping was avg 220 carry and Rouge avg 238 and tighter dispersion circle too. My best Rouge in 6 shots was 98.1mph, 13.6 launch, 1931 spin, 242carry, 279 total. BUT that was with Riptide 50- R ? That profile seems wrong but #s were good, what say you and what shafts did you like best w Rouge? PS apex dcb w reg elevate was full club longer and more forgiving than my i210s, hmmmm
Hannah, a great review, i like the simplicity of how you explain the clubs features, im looking to get a cobra but i will try the callaway and titleist.
Great review Hannah 👍 love the look of the cobra and stealth I have to say ⛳️🏌️♀️⛳️🏌️♀️⛳️
Awesome video!
Nice review Hannah. You'll have to let us know how you make out with that Rogue Driver. I would have opted for the forgiveness of it too. I kind of like last years model the Sim Max 2 myself. Take care now.
One of the best and most comprehensive reviews yet. Thank you!
You killed it! Absolute rick star you are! It was a great presentation. Your analogy was spot on and I am sure many of your followers will be very please!. My new driver will be the cobra lxs. Simply can't escape the distance it gives me and love the look. The weight movement gives me more options to play in windy or in calm conditions. Much success to you!!
Yes, TSi3 is amazing. Pair it with a Ventus and it will strike fear and awe in your playing buddies.
Great summary👍
Can’t hear what she says !
I’m looking at drivers to put in play, I’m 76, slower speed of course, where do I start? I don’t have a place to demo much. I would appreciate some help!
Great review Hannah, I went with the D9 as it was the only one tail end of the year that offered zero adjustment and not ridiculously priced. I don't want to confuse myself into believing "it's the club" either. Bonus that I gained 40yds on my existing MP650, & a similar gain with the 3 wood both tightened up on my dispersion too. Looking forward to a hybrid one as I'll be in the market for one 17°-19° preferably no adjustment as well. Keep up the great reviews 👍🏻👍🏻🍀
Two things. First on the drivers while technology improvements year to year can only do so much given limits reached, I myself went with the stealth. It is the first driver I have loved, gives me confidence and performs since the m2. Others I have tried or had never did it for me. Regrettably don’t like the sound or looks of the ping. Second, while there is so much time and effort on clubs, not enough is emphasized on how much more important than equipment other aspects are – at least five other components. I would emphasis the mental side of golf, nutrition and fitness for golf, an effective practice system, more complete shot routine – including breathing techniques – and better course planning and management. In my view these aspects will bring significant improvements and enjoyment in anyone’s game given their existing swing, technique or skill level. Of course small tweaks in being fitted better eg ball choice, shaft choice etc will help I believe the gains are relatively marginal compared to investing or spending more effort and focus on the above mentioned dimension. Certainly almost every pro golfer in the pga and lpga would attest to this. I believe the gains for the average or senior golfer would be even greater.
Where is the Hogan driver?
Great view Hannah, what shaft and flex did you have in the Callaway driver?
Drier prices are SO up there now a days…I guess I will stick with my Cobra F 9 and matching 3 Wood and shaft…Don't see any reason to up grade with the results I get with the F 9…Thanks for covering all the top brands…
