Best Golf Drivers For Women: Quick Menu

The driver is the most satisfying club to pull out of the bag which makes your decision very important. As technology continues to evolve, the current models give women a far better chance of hitting consistently good tee shots. There are plenty on the market to choose from, but don’t allow yourself to get bogged down with the minefield of technical information. 

First and foremost, decide what you want to achieve off the tee - Is it greater accuracy, as you’re fed up hitting your second shot from the rough? Do you want to gain distance, frustrated at continually being outdriven? Or is it added forgiveness when you miss the sweet spot? Perhaps you want a little bit of everything? Bearing these questions in mind, we have tried and tested some of the best golf drivers designed for women currently on the market to help you make an informed decision.

Additionally take a look at some of our other guides on drivers - the best golf drivers for distance, best golf drivers for beginners, or the most forgiving drivers on the market.

Specifications

Lofts: 11.5° loft and lie adjustable

Reasons to buy

Lightweight for faster swing speeds

Excellent adjustability

Reasons to avoid

The striking looks may not be to everyone's taste

The Ping G Le3 driver is the third generation in this range of clubs designed specifically for women with a slow to moderate swing speed for higher launch and ultimately greater distance. 

It’s a stylish looking driver in the best colorway yet of the G Le3 range - navy with gold and silver accents. The clubhead design frames the ball really nicely at address and our tester immediately felt comfortable and confident when swinging this driver, something that is a common theme throughout the best Ping drivers.

Performance wise, it delivers consistently straight drives with notable distance and clever weighting means that the Ping G Le3 is one of  the most forgiving drivers for women on the market.

Best wide appeal

TAYLORMADE'S NEW KALEA PREMIER DRIVER FOR LADIES

Impressive distance
+
Effortlessly easy to hit

Premium quality and fully customisable

The crown's gloss finish could distract in sunlight

TaylorMade designed its Kalea range to suit a broad spectrum of female players, and ran a focus group asking 15,000 women golfers of varying abilities what they wanted in a driver. In our opinion, this is one of the best golfer drivers for women TaylorMade has ever built.

Coming in at 12.5 degrees of loft as standard, it features a lightweight carbon crown and sole, and the 22-gram steel back weight is designed to help women launch the ball higher. What’s more, TaylorMade's corrective 'Twist Face' to help straighten out your heel and toe mis-hits. 

There's yet more technology in the flexible 'Speed Pocket' channel behind the face that expands the sweet spot, giving you an added boost of ball speed and forgiveness on low face strikes. Our tester was impressed by the overall weight and feel, being 10g lighter than its predecessor, the Kalea 3 driver, and how it allowed her to shape shots with added distance.

Titleist TSR1 Driver Review

Specifications

Lofts: 10.5°, 12.5°

Reasons to buy

+
Impressive carry and distance
+
Effortless to launch
+
Confidence-inspiring aesthetics

Reasons to avoid

Won't suit faster swingers

One of the best the best drivers for women the Titleist TSR1 is the latest addition to the Titleist driver family and there is a lot to like here. Visually it looks fantastic, offering a sleek design that can compete with some of 2023's best releases like the Callaway Paradym X. The quality and sleek design of the shiny black clubhead, combined with the club's silver shaft, provides an aesthetic that makes this a premium driver. The club itself is very light and weighs 40g less than the TSR2.

On testing, we were again impressed by the performance this club delivered. The aerodynamics of this club felt fantastic and we could feel the speed of the ball off the clubface through impact. That also helps to produce stable drives and I saw some excellent carry distances on our drives, especially when compared to our current gamer.

Best for slicers

The Cobra Air-X Women's Driver

Specifications

Lofts: 11.5º and 15º

Reasons to buy

+
Effective in reducing a slice
+
High loft and low kick point shaft suited to slow swingers
+
Easy launch increases carry distance

Reasons to avoid

-
Won't suit those with a neutral or draw-bias shot pattern

The Cobra Air-X Women’s Driver offers a solution among the very best drivers for slicers, a common fault of many women. This is thanks to a pronounced off-set hosel, which means that a golfer has more time to return the clubface to a square position at impact. 

Not only is it a light but well-balanced driver to swing through the air, but the weight-saving made by using a carbon crown material paired with Cobra’s own Women's Ultralite 40 (46.5 gram) shaft and lightweight Lamkin grip is clear. We really felt that we could generate a lot of speed without sacrificing control. The clubhead was also very stable as it traveled through the all-important hitting area, just like we experienced with the Air-X irons

Most forgiving

Callaway Women's BIG Bertha Reva Driver

Specifications

Lofts: 10.5 or 12.5° loft and lie adjustable

Reasons to buy

+
Large, ultra-forgiving face                          
+
Cutting edge aesthetics

Reasons to avoid

Unorthodox shape may put some off

The main aim of the Reva is to help women hit their tee shots further and find the fairway more often. To deliver longer drives and greater accuracy, Callaway has engineered a large clubhead with internal draw bias weighting.

By also incorporating Callaway’s Jailbreak technology, which helps to make the clubface more efficient, two internal bars stiffen the body of the Reva to allow the face to flex more, while the lightweight crown permits weight to be redistributed for higher MOI.

Thanks to the advanced design of the clubface, there’s a more expansive area to promote faster balls speeds, so women will still drive the ball a long way, even if they miss the centre of the face at impact. Given all of that, this was a no-brainer inclusion on the best golf drivers for women list.

How we test the best drivers

When it comes to product testing, our reviews and buyers' guides are built upon a rigorous testing procedure as well as the knowledge and experience of the test team. 

Getting into specifics for drivers, we first attend product launches and speak to manufacturer's to understand the technology. We then hit the golf clubs indoors, usually at Foresight Sports and test the products with premium golf balls on a launch monitor.

Outdoor testing is the next port of call and this usually takes place at West Hill Golf Club, a course in Surrey with top-notch practice facilities. Ultimately, we aim to be as insightful and honest as possible in our reviews so it is important to acknowledge that no manufacturer can buy a good review. This is because our team tells it how it is. We want to try and find the best golf clubs on the market and give you some insight on them, which requires being thorough and transparent. To find out more on how Golf Monthly tests products, click here.

How to choose a new driver

You've probably already asked yourself whether you need to buy a new driver right now, but there's a few key things to consider when investing in a new driver. Hopefully answering these questions will narrow your search down slightly and make comparing between various models much easier. 

When purchasing a new driver, it is crucial to ask yourself just what you need from it. Is distance your main priority or are you looking for something to help you find more fairways? We'd always recommend a custom fitting with a PGA Pro but if you know what you're looking for you can make an informed decision. 

If accuracy is what you're after, go for something with a high MOI or adjustable weights to help alter spin and flight characteristics. If distance is key to you, look at a low-spinning driver to help ensure your ball doesn't balloon too much. If you're after something in the middle, the so-called 'standard' heads in most driver ranges will suit you the best. 

The most common swing fault in golf is the ‘over-the-top’ slice, which adds dynamic loft to the driver, leading to a high launch and usually too much spin on the ball. This causes it to climb high and balloon into the wind. Drivers with more heel-biased weighting are designed to counteract the slice swing.

Typically, forgiving designs locate the centre of gravity back and low in the head. This creates more dynamic loft and is why a lower-loft driver can really benefit a lot of women because it brings the launch angle down and leads to more roll out.

FAQs

Which golf brand makes the best women's drivers?

There are lots of golf brands that make excellent drivers, but Ping has the  strongest history in manufacturing clubs designed specifically for women. Other brands such as TaylorMade, Callaway and Cobra have since made a  big impact in the women's driver market and Titleist produce great drivers that suit ability rather than gender.

Which brand makes the best looking women's driver?

Of course, this comes down to personal preference, the head/shaft color, clubhead design etc. In our opinion, the Titleist TSR1 is the best looking, although some women might not like the shiny black clubhead.

What is the most forgiving ladies golf driver?

There are lots of good forgiving models out there right now including the Ping G Le3, TaylorMade Stealth and Kalea Premier models, but from our testing the Callaway Big Bertha Reva Women’s Driver is our top pick in this regard.
