We recently wrapped up driver testing and we’re bringing you the most in-depth, data-driven test in golf.
We brought in 35 testers, hit 14,700 shots, and spent nearly 315 hours testing the 30 newest and hottest drivers to hit the market for 2023.
We’ve broken it down by distance, accuracy, and overall best drivers. And let me tell you, we had some surprises this year that may turn some heads.
Also, stick around for the best driver for slice correction, forgiveness, and value. If you’re in the market for a new driver, this is the only definitive guide you need!

WHAT DRIVER ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING OUT THIS SEASON? 💬⬇
Just got the Cobra Aerojet LS and it is an absolute rocket ship for me. Took the MyGolfSpy report and gave it a try and it gave me the best numbers.
You can't compare what a driver will do for general public vs what each individual will do. It's shaft, head, swing type, when you load, other settings…this is apples to oranges man.
What would happen if you took a SFT driver and lofted it down?
Awesome video!!!
Where is the Ping G430 LST? It’s not on the list looks like SFT is on there twice though.
can't wait for the midswing 95-100 mph swing results
The driver I am most likely to purchase is the Stealth 2 Plus. Hit it the other day and loved it. I am 69 yrs. old with about 95 mph swing speed and an 8 handicap. Your driver comparison was awesome and validated my choice. Thank you.
Most underrated channel on YouTube let’s get these guys to a million subscribers where they belong!
I'm rockin the 2022 Stealth plus, no need to upgrade, but the Ping 425 max may find away to my house, if the price is right. BTW, I tell everyone I know that golfs to watch your content.
Was the Ping G 430 LST in the testing?
I know we are mostly amateurs but it’s interesting that the taylormade pros ditched the stealth 2 for previous versions (Rory and morikawa). But then sheffler wins with it. Amazing
test by golfers for the golfers…..mygolfspy the best ty
I’m playing the Nardo Grey 2018 cobra F8 plus (440 cc head with low spin weight 12g in front) … with it being more than five years old now I’m wondering if I will see significant gains in distance. My average is around 248 and my longest I’ve ever hit it is 281 with rollout. Is it worth the potential gains?
QUESTION : i am 58 with a swing speed of 90-95 mph…. 8 handicap its a fairly high straight ball… would i fit into the Stealth 2 plus or the standard Stealth 2 ?….having a tough time deciding….i am unable to hit them so i am having to order online….i know the shaft that was fitted for me last year….thx…..cheers from Canada
I like the adjustability of the Stealth 2 Plus with the movable weight in the bottom of the club. for my less than 100 or 105 swing speed I think I will look at a slightly softer shaft, as I am right on the reg./stiff line. I will figure it out at my next fitting in a couple of weeks.They may recommend the standard Stealth, but can't wait for the fitting at Club Champion later this month!
Callaway had the Epic and now the Paradym. I hear the next model will be the “Super Duper” and it will be followed by the “Super Duper Twin Turbo Face”.
I am so tired of golf’s lame naming.
I had already purchased the TSR3 but was looking for what
driver to test it against. Look as like it will be the Steath 2+ . Thanks for another great driver
Test!
Can anyone tell me where I can get the hat he is wearing?
Last year you factored in forgiveness. Did you not include this on 2023. Example last year stealth + was really low rated for forgiveness. For average golfers you would think this is very important.
was every driver adjusted to fit every tester each time? or were they neutral settings across the board for comparison purposes? I can see the benefits of both, with the former determining that the “longest” driver really means the one that can be best tuned to meet the needs of the widest range of golfers, while the latter suggests an apples to apples comparison. my guess is that each driver was tuned to each tester given the more adjustable models (eg stealth+ and tsr3) beat out the less adjustable models (stealth and tsr2) but was curious as to what actually happened. great test in any event!
Ping g430 SFT was on the distance list twice. C’mon editor
Why are the tour players not getting along with the stealth 2 +?
Great vid thanks, awesome insight
Very well done! One of the best product videos I’ve seen non biased. I subscribed because this video was really informative. Thanks you saved me $600 too😂
Jaw dropping video. Thanks MGS!
Was the callaway Paradym triple diamond tested with heavy weight forward, back, or both?
Why is the Ping g430 sft on there twice? If you look in the distance category, it's number 10 and 30…did you mean LST as number 10?
I wish you had testers with higher handicap 20-25 would be helpful I also think most people who watch are 15-25 😂 myself included
TSR2 wasn’t up there but I love that driver. Works for me.
I was looking forward to the Cobra LS and the triple diamond Now the Srixon MK LS 5 is on my radar Thanks
Just snagged a Ping G425 Max for $399, and I LOVE it
I have heard that the stealth plus 2 is much more forgiving then the stealth plus one. So I may try that out.
Ace 🎉
Amazing, thorough comparison/review. Love you guys!
Rory would definitely disagree with the #1 overall driver.. Nice video MGS.
This is all great but I just got fitted for a driver and the Callaway was by far the best for me by 10 yards!! Also, dispersion was better too. Get fitted, period.
Question, at 5:31 is #10 a typo? I’d assume that’s supposed to be the Ping G430 LST instead… since the Ping G430 SFT was supposed to be in last place at #30 on the distance ranking.
The best driver you can buy for forgiveness, accuracy, and distance is the one you are FITTED FOR !!!!!!
How is the ping g430 sft 10 and 30 sounds like you missed on the QC of the video
Ping G430 SFT #10 and #25 for distance. Assuming typo?
