Best Drivers for Seniors 2026
As swing speed decreases, you need a driver that compensates with lighter total weight, higher launch, and maximum forgiveness. Senior-oriented drivers typically feature ultralight shafts (under 50g), higher lofts, and head designs that get the ball up quickly even at 80-90 mph swing speeds. Several manufacturers now offer dedicated "Lite" or "Max" models specifically engineered for this segment. We've identified the best options for golfers who prioritize easy launch and consistency over raw workability.
