Tried. Tested. True. | MyGolfSpy is here to give you the performance you have always deserved. Our mission is to inform and protect the golf consumer. We want you to get the most out of your money and time. That means providing you with reviews you can trust, as well as honest reporting on the latest issues affecting the game today.

What’s up everybody welcome back to my golf spy today it’s one of the biggest days of the year around here it’s 2024 Most Wanted Driver results and you’re going to want to pay attention every golfer on the planet is going to want to try this ping driver because this thing

Blew our minds so if you’re in the market to purchase a new driver take notes stick around because this is the most comprehensive driver test in the world period let’s get it [Applause] We’ve broken this video down into three simple sections one how we test you guys want to know how we test we’re going to show you exactly behind the scenes how we do it two we’re going to tell you the scoring system and how we score and what

The final results are which help you determine which drivers you should be demoing this year and third hitting Bay Basics so when you actually go to the store to try one of these drivers it gives you a guide on what is best for you and how you should go about doing it

During today’s video our results will be sprinkled throughout the whole thing so make sure you watch the whole video because you’re going to get the longest most forgiving you’re going to get the best value and best overall and even more before you drop some serious cash

On one of these new drivers we want to make sure you find the right driver for you you all right speaking of money the cost on these drivers is getting absurd in 2024 you can fully expect to pay on average of about $600 for a brand new driver and if money

Is your biggest sticking point here are a couple of recommendations that you should take a look at the first driver that you might want to consider for the best value is the pxg 0311 XF Gen 6 it comes in at $449 and it’s also the best for

Forgiveness in 2024 but more on that later all right next up is the best value of 2024 and it comes from Costco it’s called the Kirkland Signature driver what other place can you buy the best value driver and a rotisserie chicken and even a car battery at the

Same time nowhere this driver even beat out some of the biggest names in golf at $199 I think everybody should just try it for fun the Kirkland Signature Driver best value 2024 enough about money now let’s get to actually how we test testing drivers the right way is hard it

Takes a lot of time and a lot of cutting edge technology to find the right driver for you take this year’s driver test it was a whopping 420 hours that’s nearly 18 straight 24-hour days of testing we’re watching Oppenheimer 140 times back to back this is not like your typical YouTube golf

Driver test that’s what we’re trying to go against actually one person hitting 5 to 10 shots telling you what driver you should play doesn’t work you should either hit 10 or 10,000 shots if you want to do the 10 shot test great but to have statistical significance you

Actually have to hit about 10,000 shots in a driver test which is why it takes so long here’s some of the things that we’ve actually had to implement into our driver test to make sure it gets the right data for you one you have to do likeness versus like this or grouping

You can’t have a heavy driver and a light driver tested back to back one might positively or negatively influence one of those drivers so to be fair you actually have to do groupings low spin drivers get tested equally at the same time same with drivers that have similar

CGS now let’s cover robots no we do not test with robots we wish we could that would be the easiest way but it’s not the right way we actually asked and consulted with every OEM manufacturer prior to starting Most Wanted driver testing every one of them agrees player

Testing is the right way you just have to have a a lot of players and a lot of shots to get the right data that’s exactly what we do so why do we test indoor versus outdoor we get that question a lot the variable reduction system basically that means we want to

Reduce the amount of variables in the test to make sure we have the good set of data so some of those things that you might think about is the actual dup point and humidity changes from every shot to shot outside we want the same temperature we want the same grass

Height we want the same tea height we want the same everything we want to reduce variables it’s why we use the for Sight GC quad it’s the best and most accurate system for data collection indoors it’s also why we use the prov1 golf ball from tyus because after years

Of testing it has the best quality control in the game period all right so now on to the 2024 Most Wanted driver test we tested 37 different models and we also included last year’s winner the tailor stealth 2 plus why because you want to know is newer really better and

We want to find that out for you we also test other 2023 models in this year’s test the reason why is because some older models are still available at retail and ultimately we just want to find out what driver that’s available right now is best for you all right when

It comes to actual equipment testing we had 35 testers that covered almost every skill level from zero to 15 handicap we also had swing speeds from slow to Mid and high to make sure all of you are covered in the 2024 my golf spy Most Wanted driver test all right now that

We’ve talked about how we test let’s get into the actual scoring system itself we have a totally new and improved scoring system this year that’s going to provide more accurate data so that you can find the right driver for you our ultimate goal is to provide you valuable insights

With this MGS score a comprehensive 10-point scoring system it is broken down into three crucial categories distance accuracy and forgiveness so let’s talk distance for our distance score we Factor both in carry and total yards most golfers don’t actually think that there’s much distance difference between one driver and another that myth

Is busted year after year and it happened again this year so let’s take the winner of the longest driver for 2024 the Callaway Paradigm AI smoke maxd was 15 y longer than the crank formula fire Pro which finished dead last this year for the shortest driver of 2024 all

Right rounding out the top five longest drivers for 2024 is the Callaway AI smoke Triple Diamond the Srixon ZX7 Mark I the Ping g430 LST and the Titus tsr3 let’s face it when it comes to accuracy that can be a game changer can be the difference between a par or a quadruple

Bogey but every shot is not created equal your drive might be dead center in the Fairway but that might actually be the same as two Ys off the middle of the Fairway still in the Fairway then you might be in light rough or heavy rough we consider all that it is something

That we created here to make the final results for you much more accurate than any other test in golf so our official testing Fairway sits at 35 yards but it’s a widening Fairway meaning the longer you hit it The Wider that Fairway gets because we don’t want to reward

Short shots as being the most accurate but it allows us to compare longer hitters versus shorter hitters and doesn’t overemphasize accuracy for the guy that’s hitting it short playable shot percentage represents the percentage of shots that while maybe not perfect still will not penalize you overall so let’s take the straight shot

Percentage and the playable shot percentage into account and when we do the 2024 most accurate driver might be the biggest no-brainer we’ve ever seen in over 10 years of testing at my goof spy this thing is a literal cheap code for anybody that is struggling with accuracy and the driver that won this

Year is the Ping g430 Max 10 K almost 10% more accurate than the runner up and way more accurate than almost every other driver in the test the runner up for this year if you’re looking for another option is the Tour Edge Exotics e723 all right here’s an interesting

Note Ping’s been making accurate drivers for a long time but ping and torage both finished in the top five for accuracy in 2023 but once again ping is the only driver manufacturer that actually had a top five driver for most accurate in 2024 and 2023 so if you’re struggling

With your accuracy you should probably run not walk to try this driver we’ve never seen anything like it before did you know that almost every driver performs ident ically when you hit it dead center on the face but the best drivers in the world are the ones

That perform best across the entire face high low heel toe and drivers are getting better and better at that and that’s where forgiveness comes in that’s where we take the consistency of ball speed and all the Delta stuff we’re talking about it’s not who performs best on perfectly struck shots it’s who

Performs best on all the shots all right let’s take the three metrics that we talked about for forgiveness when we do that we come up with the winners for the most forgiving driver of 2024 and surprisingly pxg takes not only the top spot but both the first and second spot

With the pxg 0311 Gen 6 SF and the standard pxg 0311 Gen 6 get ready to hit that pause button cuz we’re getting ready to put up the top five most forgiving drivers of 2024 now that we’ve covered testing and scoring now let’s get to the nitty-gritty the hitting Bay Basics

Meaning when you go get fit for your driver what should you actually be considered first up is shaft length it makes a huge difference the average shaft length we tested this year was between 45 and 45.75 in and sometimes people actually perform better with a shorter driver the reason

Strike is King and if you can strike the ball more accurately on the center of the face with a shorter shaft that’s better for you ideally you want to find the shaft link that helps you become king of strike let’s cover the next important factor and that’s adjustable

Loft if you only have one option your paper airplane only has one option meaning you can only throw it at one trajectory but if you buy a new driver sometimes things change but you want to get the ideal launch angle and spin and you need to be able to have adjustable

Loft angles to cater to that as you adjust over the years with your driver this isn’t something you’re necessarily going to have to worry that much about with brand new drivers 36 out of the 37 drivers we tested had the adjustable Loft option interestingly enough one of

The most expensive drivers the Zio is the only driver that doesn’t offer it next up is adjustable weights once again similar to Loft options if you have a big hook you want to be able to correct that hook with your driver not have to buy a new driver same thing with a slice

Same thing with launch too high launch too low so if you think about it adjustability and weights allows you to correct for some of your inefficiencies in your own patterns so if your swing changes a little bit tomorrow you can adjust for that you don’t have to buy a

New driver next up are looks and good looks do not equal good performance for almost 10 years we’ve been collecting data on both how well a driver looks versus how it performs and there’s no correlation so just because a driver might be ugly if it performs best for

You we say pick the ugly duckling all right we have teased you long enough we have tested long enough now before we show you the rankings of 1st through 37th we want to tell you who actually won the 2024 my golf spy Most Wanted driver test this year we teased

You in the beginning of the video with this head cover now we’re getting ready to pull it off it’s the g430 Max 10K it’s the driver we called the cheat code it’s the most accurate driver we tested it’s probably the best driver overall for distance forgiveness and accuracy that we’ve ever tested this

Is a run don’t walk to go hit this thing because every single tester here and almost every employee was blown away by the performance this year of this ping driver give it a try you let us know what you think you will not be disappointed so now let’s wrap everything up we have

Given you results for distance accuracy forgiveness we’ve even given you some considerations for Best Value but we haven’t shown you the overall rankings so get ready to pause the video because we’re getting ready to show you the top to bottom where every single driver ranks in 2024 from first place all the

Way down to last at 37 want more detail want more data there’s plenty of it check it out on mygolfspy.com for the best drivers of 2024 we out but

43 Comments

  1. I hit all of these brand new drivers 2 days ago. And they were not what they claimed. I got fitted for a titleist TSr3 with a hzd blk 6.5 x stiff

  2. G430 Max 10k was the most accurate driver for about 34% of users who tested it right? so despite being "the most accurate" the average person is almost twice as likely to be better off with something else, shows how important fittings are.

  3. I have the Mizuno ST-Z and it is a very solid contender….Really I'd be happy to hit any of the top 30 clubs listed here as they are all very good.

  4. You guys crushed this video. Incredibly clear presentation of how you test, why you test this way, and why golfers should care about the results. Kudos!

  5. Great test, thanks for doing this. I agree about the 10 shot comparisons. I like watching them, but they are in no way comprehensive. I've done a lot of driver testing for myself, and the results can easily change from day to day. One thing that frustrates me personally, as a high spin player is that why can't they make some of the more forgiving models in lower lofts, like 8 degrees? I already have a TSR3, which is still right in there, and works great for me, so no need to bother with anything newer this year.

  6. So you're telling me the the best driver G430 10k #1 is miles better from its predecessor g430 max #17?

  7. This is a realistic testing process. Thanks, guys, and thanks to all the testers! I am now running to try that Ping driver.!

  8. Can someone explain why the Ping G430 is so much more forgiving than the other drivers?
    Is there something special in the design, weight distribution, face, etc that is resulting in this?

  9. With all this information, I wonder why everyone doesn't buy PING. Is the corp marketing group there trash? Bad corporate/customer engagement? They have a great product and has tested high every year for years, so why aren't they dominating in sales?

  10. I bought a Ping G430 Max 10.5 reg shaft the week before the 10k was announced. I was not happy about buying a superseded model and not being told about it. However it is the best driver I have ever had after 52 years of golf. Distance is fine but direction/ dispersion is fantastic. If the 10k is better it must be great. I’m not looking to change however. I love the G430 Max.

  11. I have always played PING all the way back to my D1 days.

    This year I got fitted and Cobra Darkspeed won.

    Tried PING 430, Cobra, Callaway AI and G425. Was sad to take PING out of the bag.

    I hope it works out with Cobra

  12. I always enjoy these tests, but as always, if you’re going to drop 600+ dollars, please go and get fit to get the most out of your driver if possible.

  13. Serious cash?!!!! In Canada Pings rack up at $809 cdn. or higher. Ping and many other name brands have lost the room, as it were. I haven’t lost my mind yet and am never going to see the cost of a driver being worth nearly the entire price of all the rest of the clubs in the bag. Between the greed of pro golfers and club manufacturers don’t expect golf to grow based on their efforts.

  14. Great video and very relatable. I’m going for a fitting on April and I’m glad to hear recommendations such as shaft length.

  15. Taylor Made and their QI 10 team is hiding in a dark room, in the fetal position, having themselves a good cry right now. Wow! Really surprised to see those results given all the hype, AND considering what it seems the majority of the online "club testing" usual suspects has to say about the QI 10.

    Can't argue with data!

  16. I see you're using a Quad but not Foresight dots…..care to comment on whose dots you're using ???? If I can save a dollar on something, maybe that new driver price can be justified faster

  17. yall didnt include Sub70 in the testing, yet made an entire section about "value" in drivers.. at $249, i dont see why it didnt make the test (unless of course, one wasnt available.. which they are).

  18. Based on other reviews- it would have been nice to see the PXG black ops in the test. I think it might have given the Ping 10k max some real competition.

  19. Just got fit for a Ping G430 Max 10k the other day and cannot wait for it to be delivered and game it, driver of the year hands down

  20. How can stealth plus be top 5 driver .. even club reviewers are now saying the stealth and stealth 2 were horrible drivers (of course year after release they can say it now)
