Gear focus: Drivers

Golf Monthly takes a close look at the leading drivers that should be top of a golfer's wish list this summer, including the TaylorMade R9 SuperTri driver and Ben Sayers Benny RS21 driver

Ben Sayers Benny RS21 driver, £129.99

The RS21 model also offers impressive levels of performance and scores particularly high in the forgiveness category. The graphics on the crown will help those who struggle to align their driver. The head looks huge at address, which inspires confidence. The large face helps to give added forgiveness on shots away from the sweetspot. Although the crown graphics help with alignment, they take away from the original Benny's classic-looking head design that gained so many admirers.

Key technology The all-titanium head of the Ben Sayers Benny RS21 driver has a new weight technology system that gives greater consistency and added power. Extra weight is placed in both the rear and towards the heel to help create the optimum launch angle.
