Try Five of the Best Drivers of 2022
One of the most exciting times of the year is when your favorite golf brands release their latest line of drivers, and 2022 is no exception. With so many options from the most popular brands, it can be hard to know just where to start when deciding the best new driver for your game.
That’s where we come in. We’re breaking down the main difference between the new 2022 drivers from Callaway, Cobra, Mizuno, TaylorMade and Tour Edge and offering the comparisons you need to determine the right pick for you.
Go the Distance: Callaway Rogue ST Drivers
Callaway Rogue ST Max Driver
The all new Callaway Golf Rogue ST drivers were made with one thing in mind: distance. Created using Callaway Golf’s signature Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and Flash Face Technologies, these drivers were specifically engineered to help you get the ball farther than ever before, while delivering on improved stability.
Each Callaway Rogue ST model is designed with a range of handicaps in mind, so beginners to advanced players alike will find a driver that meets their needs.
2022 Callaway Rogue ST Models:
- Callaway Rogue ST Max driver | Mid to high handicap
- Callaway Rogue ST Max D driver | Mid to high handicap
- Callaway Rogue ST Max LS driver | Low to mid handicap
- Callaway Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS driver | Low handicap
Improve Your Trajectory: Cobra LTDx and AIR-X Drivers
Cobra LTDx Driver
Fans of Cobra Golf’s previous line of drivers that featured radial weighting will no doubt be pleased with their latest offering: the Cobra LTDx drivers. Designed with extreme radial weighting, the Cobra LTDx drivers will give you an optimal trajectory thanks to a very high MOI (moment of inertia) paired with a low CG (center of gravity).
For golfers looking to improve their swing speeds to hit the ball farther, Cobra Golf also released the AIR-X drivers this year, which are lightweight and ideal for players with higher handicaps.

- Cobra LTDx LS driver | Low handicap
Make Consistency Key: Mizuno ST Drivers
Mizuno ST-Z 220 Driver
Those familiar with Mizuno Golf’s irons may be surprised to see the brand on a list of powerful drivers, but these clubs are worth a look. The new Mizuno drivers offer something for everyone, ranging from the Mizuno ST-X 220 for faster ball speeds with excellent forgiveness to the Mizuno ST-Z 220 with a draw bias. Both drivers have a larger sweet spot that’s designed to deliver extra consistency and accuracy with every swing.

Swing Faster: TaylorMade Stealth Drivers
TaylorMade Stealth Driver
If you have a need for speed, TaylorMade Golf has invested in technological enhancements and a brand new titanium construction to offer a driver that’s lighter and promotes faster swing speeds. The TaylorMade Stealth line offers three distinct models to fit a variety of needs.
For mid to high handicap golfers, there’s the TaylorMade Stealth driver with an improved shape designed to increase clubhead speeds. More advanced players will want to look into the TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver with a sliding weight track to control launch and trajectory. Finally, the TaylorMade Stealth HD driver is an option for players looking to leverage a draw bias.

First is the Tour Edge E722 line (E for “Extreme”) for golfers with higher handicaps who are most interested in a high forgiveness driver.
Lower handicap players will gravitate towards the Tour Edge C722 line (C for “Compact”) which will provide players with workable clubs geared towards lower spin.
