 Now, if you are still considering buying a driver in the remainder of 2023, then one of the key attributes that you should be putting on top of that list is forgiveness. Because as average golfers, it's certainly what we need and require, and the five drivers that I have in these boxes come with forgiveness as their number one priority and pretty much it's available in abundance in my opinion. Before we go any further, I want you to get involved in a comment section below, ac rïm ni i nhw y r.'ymystio'r ddoch yn oed o'r gwasanaeth mwy i'n ddweud o 5 o 5 o 1. Yn ystod y gallwch chi gynnwys ar gyfer 5 gydydd yr 2023, oedd yn cymryd y gallwch. Oe, rydyn ni'n rhan arlo, nes dy fath o'r pyl y ddweud o'u a'r rhan o'r bydd, It is from Callaway, it is the Big Bertha 23. Now it's a real interesting product this because Big Bertha is synonymous with user friendliness in my opinion in terms of golfers. But what they did with the Big Bertha 23 different than the other drivers that are out there right now including others in their line up is this is an extra large face that has been designed and that design has also meant that we've got a bigger sweet spot and therefore higher MOI and higher levels of forgiveness. It's the key attribute of this Big Bertha 23 line up. But the other key attribute is also offset and draw bias. It sits at number five because yes it's super forgiving but you could argue that it's a slightly odd shape and heavily draw bias a lot of offset and address which be slight negatives and maybe reduce the appeal to many. So super super forgiving but a few little quirks in there that might appeal to everybody. Number five Big Bertha 23. Right let's go into number four. If you got involved in that comment section and went for the top five my guess is that you will not guess what is in this box. In fact it's not in this box because it doesn't fit in one because one of the negatives towards this driver is that it's not a got an adjustable hosel. The driver is from Zexio and it's a brand that I tried for the first time this year. This is the latest model. It's a Zexio 12. It is super forgiving. In fact all of the drives all of the products that I've tried from Zexio seems to have that as a real priority once again in their setup. What I'm unsure about with the Zexio product is they all seem to come with super lightweight shafts that are also counter balanced. That counter balancing is all to do with without going into too much detail squaring up their head at address from the top of our downswing. Tall story I know but what I can't argue with it was super impressive out on the fairways and that forgiveness if that was the key meant that my ball speeds remain constant and to be quite honest with you no matter what swing they seem to put on it the ball went relatively straight but also didn't lose any distance at all. Super easy to use, high launching ticks every box for me. The negative would be and why it sits in at number four is that non-adjustable hoswll for me is a potential downside. Right let's stick that to one side and we'll jump straight in to number three. Now number three quite possibly will be a brand that you have in your list but I'm not sure this would be the model but it's certainly the one with the most forgiveness with the from rather tailor made and their current stealth two line up. Now this is their HD model and that's why I said I'm not too sure whether or not this is one you would actually have chosen but trust me and what tailor made say is this is the most forgiving driver within their current line up and I would totally concur with that and largely for me because of the distribution of weight. I've not really seen a weight placed as far back as heavier weight rather placed us so far back it's 30 grams of weight they've shoved at the back end they've also put some weight in into the heel because this is obviously again another draw by a striver. The difference with this driver is though that the crown is normal in its shape it's very much the same as the others are slight tweaks but if you put all three stealth models down you'd be hard pushed to pitch which one is which so it's very normal if you like unlike the big birther which is a triangular shape whilst it's got offset it's not hugely visible and I wouldn't notice it or recognise it as a draw bias driver but the one thing that is unquestable is that 30 gram weight has been shifted way back and there's a huge effort in doing one thing and that's making this driver extremely forgiving and that's exactly what it is. Now we're getting down to very much the the nitty gritty and if I'm honest with you the top three are very much inseparable and minor detail as to why I would have chosen one over the other but we're into number two and number two will once again have probably featured on your list uh oddly enough it's from a brand that we have already featured and that is from Callaway but this time it is from their paradigm line up. Paradigm has been hugely successful for Callaway and not all of it has been designed purely based on forgiveness this paradigm X certainly has. Their goal has been to produce the highest MOI driver within their line up they've certainly achieved that once again you'll see about weight distribution is all at the back end and it is just all out a driver that when I tried it on the fairways no matter what swing I felt I put on it the ball seemed to finish in a similar position in terms of distance travelled. The one thing I'm slightly negative about with the paradigm line up in terms of the drivers and fairways and such is that it's a quite a very soft and muted sound so much though that you don't really recognize the difference between a good and bad shot and that's the bit that sort of surprised me is every time I hit a ball it seemed okay and you watch it travelling in the air it seemed to continue travelling and like I said from a forgiveness perspective I can even see from the close-ups here where I've hit I've hit all over the club face that is one forgiving driver and certainly deserves its place right up at the top end of the tree in terms of my top five that is the Callaway paradigm X.

Leave just one box and once again I would suggest that this driver will have featured with in the list that you have put together it is without doubt the most forgiving driver in fact from the brand it's quoted as being the driver that has their highest ever MOI and when you consider who the brand is that's a bold statement because their whole sort of setup is very much aimed with being has forgiveness as being very much top of their priority list they make products for the the man in the street in my opinion and the Ping G430 max is the epitome of that. It's a super forgiving driver and its predecessors were also super forgiving but this is the driver that has produced the highest MOI ever from Ping. What I like about this and why it gets to the top of the pile in terms of forgiveness is because it as a club overall ticks other boxes in the fact that it's got an adjustable hosel that some others didn't it's also got an adjustable weight bar which others didn't so that gives a lot more customized options in what is already a very forgiving driver so without doubt Ping do this so so well they really need to drop the turbulence to get my full seal of approval but it's a super super driver it's super forgiving and for anybody out there who has tried this I think the one thing you might be bits that you'd like or dislike subjective opinions like mine in terms of turbulence but one thing we can't argue with is the Ping G430 max is a super forgiving driver and like I said at the beginning if you're an average golfer if you want to buy a new driver then forgiveness should be top of the tree in terms of what you're looking for in terms of performance you've got five drivers there which arguably could all mix them around and like I said from subjective opinions change them slightly but as golfers right now we have huge options and you must make sure you make the most of those options and get out there and try everything you can all of these drivers probably Bar the Zexio is readily available from most retailers and custom fit outlets so make sure when you get the opportunity don't go in there with preconceptions and buy yourself a Ping G430 max make sure you try as many as you possibly can and I'm sure you'll come out with a driver that forgives all those well slightly awkward swings that we put on every now and again and we need as much forgiveness as we can get right that's my top five drivers of 2023 thank you for watching I'll see you all soon
