What do you see?
Right-to-left. Left-to-right. Rising high. A low bullet. Which shot shape do you see with your driver? What would you like to see when playing from the tee?

Driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can’t wait to see those faces.
It’s that time of the year again where many of us are planning to travel here and there to visit family for the holidays. You may well have plenty of time when you’re driving home for Christmas to reflect on how your golf driving has been over the past 12 months…
Making an ideal drive off the tee is one of the aspects of golf that keeps us coming back for more, even on the bad days. However, making that dream drive and placing the ball exactly where you want it to be may seemingly only happen on the rare occasion.
It goes without saying that finding a golf driver that ticks all the boxes for you will help you make better drives more often, so where do you start?
Today we want to help you reflect on how you’ve been getting on with your golf driver throughout 2024, and give you some insights into what you can do if you’re looking to add a new one to your bag.
How was your driving this year?
Now, how many times do you take a driver off the tee when you play a round of golf? Maybe up to 13 or 14 holes if you discount the Par-3s. What percentage of your drives do you think make the fairway? If you feel only half of your drives make the fairway, that’s a good third of your round you’ll spend hunting for balls in the rough.
So, if you do feel you recall more time spent in the rough than on the fairway, it may well be time to switch up your driver. Getting yourself a new wood could be the answer to finding more fairways, but which driver is best for you?
Finding your perfect golf driver
Naturally, when selecting a new driver, you want to make sure that it looks and feels right to you. Come into the shop and have a look at those we have on display. Pick them up and study them.
Our initial impressions certainly contribute to how we feel we’ll get on with the club. How does the golf driver feel when you’re holding it at address? Does the clubhead fill you with confidence? Or does it feel like a small target to strike the ball with?
Once you’ve found a driver type that you like the look of, you’ve got to consider the mechanics of the club. What kind of weight shaft do you want? One that’s very flexible or one that’s on the stiff end of the spectrum?
We want to give you an example of some of the current golf drivers we’re stocking in the pro shop that you can come and see in-person. When it comes to these clubs, you really can’t go wrong with Srixon.
The latest Srixon golf drivers
Srixon’s range of ZX MK II golf drivers have been hugely popular over the past year, and when you take a peek under the hood, you’ll understand why. There are three distinct drivers in this range, and we know each kind of golfer will find one of these perfect for their game.
The ZX5 Mk II from Srixon is a phenomenal driver that most players will feel at home attacking the ball with. This club features Srixon’s Rebound Frame that’s comprised of dual flex zones. These flex zones ensure a smooth transfer of energy between the club and ball for exceptional ball speeds off the tee. An 8g rear weight placed low and deep in the driver head keeps your swing feel steady and methodical.
Srixon’s low spin model in the range, the ZX5 LS MK II driver has much of the same tech found in the standard model but with the 8g weight positioned forward in the clubhead. This change of mass allows players to keep their spin low to craft their shot shapes. A dynamic floating weight pad on the sole reduces COR for a desirable launch off the tee.
Giving the player excellent distance off the tee, the ZX7 Mk II driver will help you reach new distances down the fairway. This club has a heavier titanium star frame crown, and two weight ports on the sole to allow you adjust the loft. With a smaller head, the center of gravity has been pushed forward in the ZX7 Mk II to further lower spin.
So, if you’re struggling off the tee, it might well be time to treat yourself to a new golf driver. We’re ready and eager to help you with all your golfing needs in the pro shop.
