The Longest Drivers (Driver Ratings)

Which golf clubs provide the longest drives? Distance is key in today's golf game. Hit it long (and straight) and you set yourself up for an excellent score. Well, what drivers will provide you with that much needed distance? It's hard to say for sure. But.....there have been tests done, analyzing distance provided by drivers as compared to one another. Golf Test USA has done such a test and published the results. With 32 drivers listed, they had sixty golfers at different playing levels play between to five to seven drivers each, and then ranked the scores in each category from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest.)

The top-ranked drivers by distance (with score) are as follows:

T1. Nickent 4DX (8.5)
T1. Cleveland Hibore XL (8.5)
T1. Callaway FT-5 (8.5)
T1. Tour Edge Exotics (8.5)
T2. Nike SQ Sumo (8.4)
T2. Mizuno MX-500 (8.4)
T2. Callaway FT-i (8.4)

Of these top seven drivers for distance, you'll see that Callaway is the only maker with more than one driver listed. Granted, the caveat with these tests is that, as stated on the testers website, "We have yet to test the driver that hits a ball ten yards longer than any other driver." However, if you really need that extra distance, and assurance you are using the longest-driving clubs around, check out on of these top seven ranked drivers.
