Match the driver to the pattern

Different golfers need different help. A slicer may need launch and forgiveness; a fast player may need stability; a slower swinger may need lighter total weight without losing the face.

Player guide

Golfer Helpful trait
Slice-prone beginner More loft and draw-friendly look
Fast but wild player Stable head and shaft feel
Low-launch hitter Higher launch window
Senior golfer Lighter build if contact improves

Ball flight decides

If the club feels good but every miss leaks into trouble, the fit is not finished.
