Golf technology is continually advancing, especially drivers. 2008's line of 460cc drivers is outstanding. Brands such as Titleist, Nike, and Callaway set the bar for quality every year.
Titleist leans towards a more traditional look which tend to be for more advanced players. The 907 D2 driver from Titleist is an expensive but very price worthy golf club. It has an increased moment of inertia which results in a longer ball flight with more shot control. MOI is the club head's resistance to twisting on off-center impact (i.e., heel, toe, high, or low). Nike is constantly pushing the limits of club design.
The Nike SUMO Squared driver has a massive 460cc club head with a square design. The SUMO design maxes out all USGA limits which regulate MOI, volume and impact efficiency. Though it is obviously has the best technological advancements possible, it's design looks like a shoe box. However its efficiency makes up for its appearance.
Callaway has followed Nike on its path for modern science and the limits of the USGA. The Callaway Ft-i driver is designed to be the world's straightest driver. It includes the square design for a very high MOI. Though it's club design has been very effective as to what Callaway has sought of for, its appearance is attrocious. It also looks like a shoe box. The three drivers are all very effective in their own way.
The Titleist 907 D2 is the best club for a more advanced player seeking for shot workability, and the Callaway and Nike designs are best offered to the higher handicapper looking for more accuracy and distance. 2008's line of drivers are definetly the best ever. I'm sure next year's will be even better.
