Cobra have worked hard on perfecting the shape of the club head with a raised skirt and streamlined edges reducing drag to generate the most speed of any driver.
The shaping, coupled with Cobra’s PWR-Bridge weighting being positions forward, generating impressive ball speeds off the face of the Aerojet drivers.
The LS model of the Aerojet driver range is the Low Spin option and the perfect option to cure a fade or slice.
The Aerojet Max driver is the draw-bias version of the series with weighting positioned towards the heel and back to create shot shaping.

2. Ping G430 Drivers
The Ping G430 are new for 2023 and have made a big impression with tour victories even before they hit the shelves for purchase by every day golfers.
The new G430s will have the Max, LST (Low Spin Technology) and SFT (Straight Flight Technology) versions of the drivers that also appeared in the G425 drivers series.
The Ping G430 Max is the standard driver from Ping and features a 25-gram tungsten movable weight and Dragonfly technology that redistributes weight within the head of the driver.
The G430 LST is the Low Spin Technology version and it now has a Carbon crown in a switch to a Carbonfly wrap. It has allowed Ping to save weight and lower the centre of gravity and add even more forgiveness.

7. Titleist TSi3 Driver
When it comes to clubs that have been around a while but are still top performers, the Titleist TSI3 is one that should be considered among the best golf drivers 2023 has to offer still.
What really sets the driver apart from others is the ATI 425 Aerospace Titanium face. The golf ball just seems to jump off the clubface with a huge sweet spot that allows golfers to hit shots off-center and still get a lot of distance.
The TSi3 features some degrees of adjustability with a movable weight, but the driver is more suited to those looking for distance and less so for forgives (the TSI2 is a great option for forgiveness).
What also sets the driver apart is its feel, as the aforementioned titanium face makes every shot feel like solid contact.
