Fairway driver vs. Distance driver

Fairway driver vs. Distance driver

The most common question that I have come across is the difference between fairway drivers and distance drivers.

Fairway drivers have smaller rims when compared to distance drivers. They are quite easy to control as they have less speed potential. They have less distance potential and are suitable for tighter lines and shots that require less skip towards the end. They are great for straighter flights and shorter drives. The best part is that they can be used by both, experienced and inexperienced players.

On the other hand, Distance drivers, as the name suggests, are highly potential of traveling great distance and are best for maximum shots. Nonetheless, they require great speed to match up with the distance so that they can travel more. These have wider rims and sharper noses, and are not exactly suitable for new and younger players or for players who have slower arm speed.
