Can anyone name me a good driver from last year.?

I really need to upgrade my bag a bit, I currently am using a 3 year old callaway, its just lost its pop, couldn't hit it last year at all. I was thinking of The Great Big Bertha II this year, i hear its a bit more forgiving, anyone use this club, or what would be a good "forgiving" driver?

Last years Callaway Hyper X is supposed to be very forgiving and the price is pretty reasonable i think.

A lot of people are complaining about the sasquatches and sumos.

Most likley go to your local golf course and demo a couple of drivers out on the range to find the one you really like.

Today I am continuing the series of articles on hybrid clubs. This installment covers the Callaway hybrid golf clubs that are available to the public. But first, a quick review. I mentioned in an earlier article, that back in the dark ages around the 1970's, most golfers carried what were affectionately known as "long irons". These where irons in the #2 to #5 range, These were designed with the idea to help the golfer hit the long ball.

That was a nice idea, but in reality they served mostly to frustrate golfers who tried to master these diabolical clubs. The long irons have been seen as a curse for amateur golfers who cannot produce complete shoulder turns during their backswing in order to get efficient swing velocity. These golfers found that when they compensated for this by swinging too hard, the long irons proved to be as unforgiving as a Washington lawyer.

Callaway hybrid golf clubs are available in three product lines: FT-Hybrids, X-Hybrids and Big Bertha. Like most hybrids Callaway hybrid clubs are not only more forgiving of miss-hits, but deliver more distance and loft for a given swing speed compared to an iron. Also, you get the additional distance without the loss of accuracy you often suffer when trying to use a fairway wood.

The FT-Hybrids

The FT-Hybrids are part of the Fusion Technology product line. Callaway fuses together different club head materials in the FT line to allow beneficial changes in the distribution of weight by moving it to the perimeter of the club head. Not only does this lower center of gravity but places it further back, or deeper. This allows the club to be more forgiving of off-center hits and provides better loft for the ball in flight.

Another attractive feature of FT-Hybrids is the availability of models with a hook bias. This is a very nice option if you slice the ball all of the time. This line of Callaway hybrid golf clubs also include the VFT and S2H2 technologies. VFT stands for Variable Face Technology. It creates a club face that is thicker in the center and enables more shot distance. S2H2 is clever shorthand for "Short, Straight, Hollow Hosel", and it removes much of the weight in the hosel, moving it to the club head periphery. At $199 with a graphite shaft, FT-Hybrids are the most expensive of the Callaway hyrbrids. They sell for $179 with a steel shaft.

The X-Hybrids

The X-Hybrid clubs are slightly more affordable than the FT line, selling for $139 with steel shafts and $159 for graphite. X-Hybrids also incorporate both the VFT and S2H2 technologies found in the FT clubs. Additionally these hybrids have a unique sole designed to perform better in the rough by more easily cutting through long grass. The weight in the club head is distributed to the perimeter and they have a low and deep center of gravity. The X-Hybrid clubs are available in 2H to 5H, however the 5H is not available for left handed golfers. They come with both graphite and standard steel shafts.

The Big Bertha Heavenwood Hybrids

Big Bertha Heavenwood Hybrids - Definitely the least expensive Callaway hybrid golf clubs. Even with a graphite shaft they retail for $129, and cost only $99 with a steel shaft. And like the more expensive clubs, the Big Bertha hybrids also incorporates S2H2 technology.

The Big Bertha Heavenwood Hybrid has a modified "War Bird" sole with a more elongated and low-profile face. This is intended to inspire a "confident feel" according to the sales literature. Regardless of that, they are designed to be more forgiving for off-center hits. With the range of clubs offered in this line, you can eliminate most irons in your bag except for the #9 and wedges. A left handed version is available in most of these clubs. Additionally, there are a number of standard graphite shafts to choose from, as well as a steel shaft.

So now you probably want to rush off and pick up a handful of Callaway hybrid golf clubs. I imagine it will not be the worst decision you've made for your golf game. And it will probably improve your score more than the Tiger Woods line of golf tees that you ordered. Okay, I'll stop picking on Tiger. Enjoy your new clubs.
