The original version of this driver would now be non-conforming to the rules of golf, it was that hot. Nike engineers first discovered in that they could make a ball core material that performed better than rubber.
It was called RZN and went on to feature across many other different Nike product categories, including drivers. Nike Vapor Fly Pro irons - The set features a modern muscle design that positions the centre of gravity CG in the middle of the face for added stability and a better feel at impact. The use of RZN material creates lower and deeper weighting that encourages a higher launch, and in turn, a steeper descent angle to help shots stop quicker.

Then there was a simple question: is the pleasure of driving still strong, or do I want to retire? As I got going again, the fitness came back, I went running while listening to some good music, and I thought: do I retire for good, or do I fight fear, fight the accident and go for it?
A star driver, then, but also a genuine hero. A double world champion and winner of 32 GPs, who could have won, oh, maybe five titles, if only the dice had fallen more favourably — and Alonso had chosen for whom he raced and when a little more astutely.
He became arguably only the third driver — after Niki Lauda and Michael Schumacher — to exert sufficient force of personality over Scuderia Ferrari to build the team convincingly around himself when he joined them in Ferrari needs a lead driver they can look up to, someone they respect. The Italians need that kind of figure. Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.

Sir Stirling Moss. Alain Prost. Niki Lauda. Fernando Alonso. We tee-up our first installment of naming the greatest golf clubs of all time by remembering some of the greatest drivers ever. Comment below and tell us which drivers should have made the list. In , a young clubmaker named Gary Adams came up what very well may be the most influential and monumental piece of golf club technology in the history of the game: the steel-headed driver.
In Ron Streck became the first pro to win with the Taylor Made Pittsburgh Persimmon, paving the way for future club designs and professionals all around the world. When your golf club bears the name of arguably the greatest player of his generation, then it better perform on all cylinders.
The Ben Hogan Apex persimmon drivers not only performed admirably, but they also because one of the best-selling drivers of all time. One of the more underrated drivers in golf history in my opinion. The Classic XL Custom driver has one of the deepest faces of any driver ever produced, not only by Cleveland Golf, but by any other golf club makers. It has a soft and forgiving face and produces some outstanding distance that is hard to beat.
Not only does this golf club perform on the course, it is one of the best looking golf clubs to ever hit the market. The Eye 2 driver was one of the most popular on the pro circuit throughout the 80s and into the 90s. When it comes to a classic golf driver, most fans will immediately reference the outstanding persimmon PowerBilt Citation series. Players of all abilities between the s and s — more than 6 0 years — relied on the consistent distance and accuracy the Citation driver provided.
PowerBilt golf clubs continue strong to this day, but they may never produce a more popular and historic golf club than their original Citation. It is by far one of the most well-known golf clubs in the history of the game, and when the Callaway Big Bertha driver hit store shelves in , it was also the biggest driver the game had ever seen. At a staggering cc, the Big Bertha clubhead was by far the largest driver head on the market.
Released in , the Titleist D driver might be one of the best-selling drivers of all time in addition to being one of the most influential. When PING introduced their TiSi driver in , the world was already accustomed to metal drivers on all levels of play.
Amateur titles in the late 90s. Riding on the coattails of their uber-successful Big Bertha driver series, the Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead driver promised a bigger clubhead, more distance and faster swing speeds than any club the company made previously.
Numerous iterations of the Steelhead followed the original release, each promising longer drives and hopefully lower golf scores for the player. It might have featured an odd name, but the TaylorMade Burner Bubble driver was one of the most popular drivers to ever hit the industry. A square-headed driver?
