Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast
Available for £569 from Callaway
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
An excellent option for golfers looking for a super fast option from the teePROS
- An excellent lightweight option from the tee
- Lovely looks, especially behind the ball
- Ai Smart Face technology helps to keep poor strikes on track
CONS
- A fixed hosel means there’s no loft adjustments to be had
Callaway’s 2024 range features four drivers, and the Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast driver is the option aimed at those with a slower swing speed.
With a generously stretched profile at address, the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fast inspires confidence when it’s placed behind the ball. Suited for players looking for easy and high launch, a weight in the rear of the driver head will promote a towering ball flight.
This is a great looking driver that does everything a senior golfer will want it to do. It’s lightweight, forgiving and will fly a long way. It ticks all the boxes. This should be on your list if you’re a senior golfer looking for an excellent option from the 2024 range.

Cobra Darkspeed Max
Available for £429 from Cobra
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A driver that will help you to hit more draws from the tee boxPROS
- Impressive aerodynamics as you would expect from Cobra
- A confidence inspiring shape for higher ball flights
- H.O.T Face design helps to boost ball speed on mishits
CONS
- The 2025 model is a pretty big upgrade in our eyes
If you’re a Cobra fan looking for a forgiving draw bias head to stop you from slicing, you’ll enjoy the Darkspeed Max.
The Darkspeed Max has ports in the rear and heel of the sole, as well as a 12-gram weight in the back for the highest MOI and forgiveness, or in the heel for a bigger draw bias and an easy launch. The AI-designed ‘PWR-BRIDGE’ delivers faster ball speed while the ‘PWRSHELL’ face insert and ‘HOT Face Technology’ maximises speed. A reinforced titanium frame creates maximum stability, and the carbon fibre crown is 30% thinner allowing more weight to be placed low and forward in the PWR-BRIDGE structure.
Couple that all with draw bias adjustability and you’ll straighten out those drives in no time. This high-MOI head will give you the forgiveness and stability you need to hit more fairways, while increasing your ball speed and distance off the tee.

Ping G430 Max 10K
Available for £599 from Ping
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Still a brilliant option for those looking for easy speed and stability off the teePROS
- You know you’re getting superb forgiveness from a Ping driver
- A super large head profile is confidence boosting to the extreme
- Carbon Fly Wrap is excellent and does help to boost confidence
CONS
- As always, the turbulators will divide opinion
It’s been a big talking point with the driver reaching 10,000 MOI and Ping is part of the conversation with the G430 Max 10k making life easier for golfers of all levels.
If you struggle off the tee, can’t find the middle of the face, or want more distance and straighter drives then you’re in luck. This 460cc design is a larger profile with the addition of the Carbon Fly Wrap which has allowed a 28-gram weight to be placed at the back. This delivers a higher MOI, lowers spin and CG, and creates faster ball speed off the new and improved face.
No matter your level this will be a brilliant option for your high handicappers to tour-level players with incredible stability and forgiveness this driver offers. One of the best drivers for seniors 2024 has to offer.

Srixon ZX5 MkII
Available for £499 from Srixon
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A 2024 option that will still be appealing to plenty of senior golfersPROS
- Rebound frame was a big jump forward for Srixon in 2024
- A proven driver range in the hands of major champions
- Titanium design will appeal to plenty of golfers
CONS
- The new look for 2025 is a big improvement in our eyes
Srixon’s 2024 range was a big jump forward for the brand, with the range proving very popular. That’s still going to be the case moving forward as these drivers age. Even some major champions put one of these in the bag.
If you’re not a major champion and you want a forgiving driver option, the ZX5 MKII driver could be for you. This club head has a large, flattened footprint, which makes it easy to launch the ball high off the tee. In the head you’ll find the rebound frame, which allows the face to create very high ball speeds. Rather than just one flexing component, this driver has two, which combine to make a very fast club.
If you’re looking for a driver that is focused on high launch with high forgiveness, this is a great place to look.

TaylorMade Qi10 Max
Available for £499 from TaylorMade
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The carbonwood that proved very popular among the best golfers in the worldPROS
- A big improvement on the Stealth range that went before it
- Incredible levels of forgiveness
- Sits very nicely behind the ball
- Good levels of draw bias
CONS
- The blue face won’t appeal to everyone
One of the most talked about drivers in 2024 was the Qi10 Max with its 10,000 MOI delivering the most forgiving driver TaylorMade had ever made.
When you mishit a driver the face will twist, the higher the MOI the squarer the face will stay through impact which will give you a more stable club. With 10,000 MOI the club face stay as square as possible even on the most severe mishits and with the combination of the new and improved carbon twist face, you’re going to see straighter, longer and more consistent drives. It is easier to launch with the strategically placed weight in the back of the head and it’s even been spotted in the bag of tour pros as well.
With its larger profile, it’s going to fill you with confidence on every drive and you’ll find you hit straighter drives and more fairways on those mishits. Certainly one of the best drivers for senior golfers in 2024.

PXG Black Ops
Available for £549 from PXG
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A driver that is standing the test of time for the American brandPROS
- High launch and low spin is an appealing prospect
- A very nice look behind the ball inspires confidence
- Very forgiving on mishits
CONS
- There are options more specific to senior players
It’s difficult to add much more to the description of this driver than what Bob Parsons, founder of PXG, had to say. “Black Ops woods are straight like an arrow, more forgiving than a priest on Sunday, and absolutely stunning to boot!” So, how does this club cater to senior golfers?
The first bit of tech you need to know about with the PXG Black Ops driver is the AMF Technology. This stands for Advanced Material Face, which is designed to get your ball moving in the right direction, no matter where on the face you strike it. This is another of the 2024 range of drivers which, if the weights are placed in a certain place in the head, can produce 10K MOI. That’s a big help if you tend to mishit some off the tee.
Overall, this is a brilliant and versatile option for senior golfers looking for a new driver.

Titleist TSR1
Available for £1,199 from Titleist
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A driver that is catered specifically for those with slower swing speedsPROS
- Very lightweight design that will help you swing it faster
- Variable face thickness design helps you to launch the ball on mishits
- The classic Titleist look in an aerodynamic package
CONS
- Hard to fault if you’re a senior looking to gain speed
The final addition to the Titleist TSR range, the TSR1 is aimed at high handicappers with a slow swing speed, which will appeal to a lot of senior golfers.
This club is ultra-lightweight, meaning that slower players will be able to gain club head speed with it. As well as that, the variable thickness face will help strikes from across the face to perform well, with well struck balls flying high and far. The centre of gravity in the TSR1 is deep and almost perfectly centred, promoting high ball flights.
This club is perfect for high handicappers who want a driver that will help them get more height and performance from the tee.

- A forgiving option from a classic brand
- Very affordable, especially now the model isn’t the current offering
- Six way adjustable hosel helps with tweaking loft
CONS
- The 2025 model is a big jump forward
