median lowest loft

All 24 drivers with a loft are ranked below, along with 7 more lists: highest opening loft, widest loft range, narrowest loft range, most upright lie, flattest lie, longest, shortest.

Every driver the record publishes a 2022 release year for. A model year is the year a club was launched, not the year it was designed or the year it left the shops — a driver still on sale is still filed under the year it launched.

Each figure is ranked from both ends — strongest and weakest, most and least — over the same clubs, and each list counts only the clubs that publish that figure, so the totals differ between them. Loft, lie, offset and bounce are fitting specifications — a stronger loft is a longer-carrying club of the same name, not a better one, and neither end of any list here is the good end. How this is worked out.

Who they are built for

The 24 drivers by handicap band — DERIVED from published loft, offset and length by the same classifier the fitting uses, never taken from a maker's marketing copy. A club whose category publishes nothing to read keeps its own row rather than being sorted into a band nobody computed.

Lowest published loft

— all 24 clubs with a loft

The lowest loft the model is sold in. A driver line opening at 8° and one opening at 10.5° are aimed at different players; this is that difference, stated in the manufacturer’s own numbers. Irons are excluded — their lowest loft is whichever long iron the set happens to start at, which measures set composition rather than the club.

Highest opening loft

— all 24 clubs with a loft

The lowest loft the model is sold in. A driver line opening at 8° and one opening at 10.5° are aimed at different players; this is that difference, stated in the manufacturer’s own numbers. Irons are excluded — their lowest loft is whichever long iron the set happens to start at, which measures set composition rather than the club.

Widest loft range

— all 24 clubs with two or more lofts

Degrees between the highest and lowest loft the model is published in — how far the line stretches to fit different players. Measured over the lofts on record for the model; a model we hold in a single loft has an unmeasured span and is left off rather than recorded as zero. Putters are excluded, being sold at one loft.

Narrowest loft range

— all 24 clubs with two or more lofts

Degrees between the highest and lowest loft the model is published in — how far the line stretches to fit different players. Measured over the lofts on record for the model; a model we hold in a single loft has an unmeasured span and is left off rather than recorded as zero. Putters are excluded, being sold at one loft.

The published lie angle, measured from the ground. Irons are read at the 7-iron; every other category at the most upright figure the model publishes. PING quotes putter lie from vertical rather than horizontal, so those figures are converted onto the common scale before comparison and the club’s own page still shows the number PING published.

Longest

— all 20 clubs with a length

Published playing length in inches. Irons are read at the 7-iron, so a set starting at a 3-iron is not credited with length a set starting at a 5-iron never had; every other category is read at the longest club the model is published in.

Shortest

— all 20 clubs with a length

Published playing length in inches. Irons are read at the 7-iron, so a set starting at a 3-iron is not credited with length a set starting at a 5-iron never had; every other category is read at the longest club the model is published in.
