6 drivers tie as the lowest-lofted of 2025: Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond, PXG Lightning Drivers, Srixon ZXi LS Driver and 3 more, all down to 8°.
All 49 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 2025 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 49 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.
| Handicap band | drivers | Share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low handicap | 10 | 20.4% | |
| Mid handicap | 23 | 46.9% | |
| High handicap | 16 | 32.7% |

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.

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.
