Best Forgiving Golf Drivers 2024

If the right side of the golf course has been calling your name you’ll want to check out the new Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max D. 

With a larger profile at address, this high-MOI driver is ideal for players wanting to straighten out their left-to-right slice. The rear weight will help stabilise the head and increase launch making it more forgiving and easier to hit. The new Ai Smart Face is designed with mini sweet spots to give you the forgiveness and distance you desire. With this a draw bias design you’ll straighten up that slice to find more fairways. 

If you mishit driver often don’t worry with a combination of the new Ai Smart Face and the high MOI design you’ll destined for the short turf. 

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. 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.  

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. 

The PXG head is designed for the masses, but with its adjustabile weighting design, it can be made into a very forgiving driver option. 

The new driver head uses 'Advanced Material Face' technology to increase ball speed for more distance. This AMF face design features a variable thickness that helps deliver consistent and efficient speeds across the clubface. The bulge and roll delivers optimal launch and forgiveness across the face, improving overall performance on off-centre hits. With the different weighting ports additional weights can be added to this driver to make it even more forgiving if you choose to do so which will increase the MOI to give you better stability. 

What may appear as the best of both worlds for distance and forgiveness, this new design can be made even more forgiving with the adjustability. So if you like the look of this driver, you should definitely put it on your list to try.  

With major champions such as Brooks Koepka, Shane Lowry and Hideki Matsuyama in its team, Srixon are clearly doing something right. 

If, however, you’re not a major champion and you want a forgiving driver option, the ZX5 MKII driver could be the option 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. 

One of the most talked about drivers this year is the Qi10 Max with it’s 10,000 MOI delivering the most forgiving driver TaylorMade has 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 surprisingly 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.

The final addition to the Titleist TSR range, the TSR1 is aimed at high handicappers with a slow swing speed. 

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. One of the best drivers for high handicappers in 2024.

Wilson are beginning to establish themselves as key players in the golf club market and the Dynapower range is a large part of that. The Dynapower Titanium is the most forgiving model in the range. 

With a 16-gram rear weight and a CG positioned low and to the back of the club, you’ll get high launch that will help eliminate a slice in your drives. This is another club that has been designed with the help of AI, which has helped designers make the face the optimal thickness on each section of the club. 

A club that features a clean design on the top of the head, this driver will appeal to a high handicapper that are price conscious, while still wanting great performance.
