Replacing your favorite golfer’s driver can be a daunting task, but it’s truly never been easier, as long as you ask their friends some simple questions.

Today’s drivers are better than ever before and there are truly no bad options. While we’d always suggest taking a golfer for a fitting, if you want to surprise someone, all you need to do is find out maybe a brand preference and what kind of misses your favorite player has to get a pretty good idea of which of the below drivers they’d enjoy.
