The 2025 Driver Index: Every Release in One Place

Here's your cheat sheet for new driver drops this year.

Drivers are always the headline grabber. They are designed to be swung as fast as possible and go as far as possible and for golfers at all levels they can make or break a round of golf. Not only that, they are the single most expensive golf club most golfers are going to purchase (unless we're talking about very high-end custom putters), which is why it’s important to make sure you get the right one.

So, to help kickstart your 2025 driver search, we’ve put together a beginner cheat sheet of all the newest drivers from the biggest manufacturers. And to make things as unbiased as possible—we’ve compiled them in alphabetical order.

Callaway Elyte

With Callaway’s launch of the Elyte series, their designers have put a greater focus on how segmenting clubs within the product line can help golfers find a performance advantage. This is made possible with the help of artificial intelligence and the evergrowing database they can draw from to create differentiation. For 2025 Callaway has four new options in the Elyte driver series with the Elyte (Core), Triple Diamond, X, and Max Fast

Srixon ZXi

With the help of a new and stronger Ti72S titanium, the engineers at Srixon have evolved the thickness pattern behind the driver face to further optimize energy transfer. This is made possible because the new titanium had a higher strength-to-weight ratio which allows for the middle of the face to be made thinner without sacrificing durability so thicker areas could be placed on the heel and toe to help with mishits. The Three models include the ZXi (core), ZXi LS (low spin), and ZXi Max.

Add in an expanded collection of models (Qi35 Core, LS (low spin) Max, and Max Lite) and fitting technology, the Qi35 series is the most customizable line of woods TaylorMade has ever released.

Titleist GT Series

The entire GT driver line which includes the GT1, GT2, GT3, and GT4 offers greater ball speed retention thanks to the extra strength and flexibility of the ATI 425 material used in the face. The line is also the most stable Titleist has ever produced thanks to the incorporation of a proprietary matrix polymer crown to save weight from the top of the club head. This material not only helps create a more ideal weight distribution but also helps the driver maintain a preferred metallic sound at impact.

Other current drivers in the market


Mizuno ST-230

At the core of the Mizuno ST-230 line of drivers is their CorTech Chamber which places a high-density stainless steel weight inside of an elastomer TPU built right into the sole of the driver. The TPU fills a through slot on the sole of the driver that creates more flex on the rigid bottom of the face to increase flexibility for faster ball speeds and lower spin.

With four models to choose from including the high MOI ST-230 MAX, it’s easy to find one that will fit your game, not to mention budget since they start at just $300.
