Our read, not the brands’. It’s opinion, built from their announcements and the models they replace, and each one covers its whole category.
- Drivers
- Most of 2026's big drivers were announced in January: TaylorMade's Qi4D, Mizuno's JPX One, Cobra's OPTM, PING's G440 K and Callaway's Quantum. Titleist went its own way, announcing GTS in May for June shelves, and mini drivers kept coming, from Cobra's KING TEC-MD in January to Titleist's GTS300 in July. TaylorMade executives have said the company is moving to a two-year cycle and won't introduce a new driver in 2027. Women get PING's G Le4 driver plus women's builds from Callaway, Cobra, TaylorMade, Mizuno and Tour Edge. Our read: get fitted, and hit your current driver side by side with the new ones before you buy.
