Best driver of 2023: The top 5

1. Titleist TSR3 (20.22%)

What Titleist says: “If you are a player with a consistent impact location, then Titleist TSR3 Driver is your ticket to maximum driving performance. The new Speed Ring Face Technology creates a focused point of pure speed that can be precision-tuned to match your point of contact.”

Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying

• Blakehall: “Nothing has been able to give me the huge ball speed and good dispersion balance like the TSR3.”
•  PigBimpin: “Titleist TSR3….best adjustable sleeve in the market in my opinion.”
• Kaitsu68: “Titleist  TSR3. First time in many many years I am confident with driver. Makes a big difference.”
• GlennQNYC: “Titleist TSR3 won my fitting and has proven to be super impressive in play. Miss hits are surprisingly long too.”

2. Titleist TSR2 (14.74%)

What Titleist says: “Titleist TSR2 Driver is slimmed down and ramped up. For players who make contact across the entire surface of the face, it combines our most significant CG shift with a new Multi-Plateau Variable Face Thickness design to boost speed across the face. All within a cleaner, refined shape that inspires total player confidence.”

Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying

• Rkeffer: “Titleist TSR2 with Ventus Blue TR 6S has been the winner for me. I demo’d all of this years offerings and it was the best combo of distance and forgiveness. Added plus that it looks and sounds amazing.”
•  Philly2kUK: “I voted tsr2. It’s ridiculously forgiving and I tried all the other clubs but it beat them all hands down for forgiveness whilst being long.”
• ABuckley11: “Love my new TSR2!…I’m loving my wood set up with a TSR2 9.0 with a Ventus Black TR 7X”

3. Ping G430 Max (12.5%)

What Ping says: “We took the game’s most forgiving driver (that also ranks as one of the longest) and made it even longer, while producing a more pleasing sound. A new face-design optimization leads to increased flexing for a big distance gain, and a 25-gram moveable backweight positions the CG to influence shot shape.”

Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying

• Multipass613: “Ping G430 MAX. Total game changer for me, fairways hit up, average distance up, longest drives up. Less penalties, punch outs from trees, and nerves on par 5’s, it’s a winner!”

4. Ping G430 LST (10.67%)

What Ping says: “If you generate a lot of clubhead speed and rely on a more penetrating trajectory, the 440cc LST accelerates ball speed with reduced spin, key contributors being a new Carbonfly Wrap and a newly optimized face featuring Spinsistency, combining for longer drives with a more pleasing impact experience.”

Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying

• MyShortGameSucks: “What the Ping LST gives me is amazing forgiveness and consistency which results in a lot of confidence standing on the tee. My bad swings with the Ping are still surprisingly long and playable… At the end of that day those playable bad swings are what saves the score and I’m down from 5-6 to 2 this year.”
•  Craze-e: “I voted Ping G430 LST as it has helped me hit a flight window I have never been able to hit before…. We have never had it so good though, there really is something for everyone and it does go to prove a point that fitting is key.”
• Justinpmc: “Ping G430 LST 9 degrees with an Oban Tour Limited Blue 05 flex. My first Ping driver and it’s a beast. High launch low spin and so easy to hit. When I tested I was getting 2-3 more mph ball speed than tsr3.”

5. Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond (9.55%)

What Callaway says: “The Paradym Triple Diamond Driver is a compact, 450cc shape designed for better players who want to work the ball. It’s the lowest spinning and lowest launching Paradym model with a neutral ball flight.”

Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying

• JimmyD: “Paradym Triple Diamond has everything in a driver I want so been playing most of the year. Size, shape, feel & sound are ideal for me. Super long and very forgiving, especially important as I begin to show and feel my years.”
