Picking the right driver as a mid handicapper is the first step in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are the best drivers for mid-handicap golfers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Cobra F9 Speedback\u00a0<\/strong>(best all-around driver)<\/li><li><strong>Ping G400\u00a0<\/strong>(easiest driver to hit)<\/li><li><strong>Mizuno ST200<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Callaway Epic Flash<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Taylormade M6<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news with these drivers is that they can be used by all skill levels. I think any of these will be perfect for the mid handicap golfer but they\u2019re also forgiving enough to be used by high handicaps and versatile enough for scratch golfers. Let\u2019s dive into the pros and cons of each driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is A Mid-Handicap Golfer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A mid-handicap golfer is someone who normally shoots in the 80s on a par 72 golf course. These golfers are also considered to be slightly above average compared to most golfers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re probably someone who gets a lot of bogeys but you\u2019ll also shoot a couple of pars and the odd birdie. The average golfer across all ages shoots around 91, so you\u2019re in pretty good shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This might not be the technical definition of golf handicaps but here\u2019s how I look at it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>If you shoot above 90 = High handicap.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>If you shoot in the 80s = Mid Handicap.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>If you shoot below 80 = Low handicap.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve found that a beginner golfer who really takes things seriously can break through 90 fairly quickly. The hardest point seems to be going from that point to crossing into the 70s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picking the right clubs and balls isn\u2019t going to make a huge difference but it can help shave a few strokes off your game. If you\u2019re not consistently shooting in the 80s then you might want to read this article instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/best-buys\/best-golf-drivers-for-average-golfers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Drivers For Beginners &amp; High Handicaps<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should A Mid-Handicap Look For In A Driver?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few things you should be looking at before you go out and blow 400 bucks on a new driver. They actually might be more important than the driver itself, so you don\u2019t want to overlook this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mid handicappers are probably looking for a lot of the same features as a high handicap would but they also need a bit more versatility for when they get better. Here are the things you need to look at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The shaft flex.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Your loft.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Head size.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Adjustability.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of what you need will depend on your own personal swing. There\u2019s no one size fits all rule, so if you want the best results, you\u2019ll have to figure out a few swing numbers. We\u2019ll jump into each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Driver Shaft Flex For Mid-Handicap Golfers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Carry Distance<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Swing Speed<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Shaft<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Under 200 Yards<\/td><td>Under 80 MPH<\/td><td>Senior\/Ladies<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>200-240 Yards<\/td><td>80-90 MPH<\/td><td>Regular<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>240-275 Yards<\/td><td>90-100 MPH<\/td><td>Stiff<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Over 275 Yards<\/td><td>Over 100 MPH<\/td><td>Extra Stiff<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best driver shaft flex for a mid handicap golfer will normally be regular or stiff. A regular shaft is best for people with swing speeds between 80-90 MPH while a stiff shaft is best for people with swing speeds between 90-100 MPH.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important thing you can do is pick the right shaft flex for your swing. If you don\u2019t then you\u2019ll have less power and zero control over the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you\u2019ll need to do is figure out your&nbsp;<strong>swing speed.<\/strong>&nbsp;Once you know your swing speed then it\u2019ll be really easy to figure out your ideal flex. If you don\u2019t know your swing speed then you\u2019ll want to know your average driver distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re someone who hits the ball&nbsp;<strong>under 200 yards<\/strong>&nbsp;your swing speed is probably less than 80 MPH. If that\u2019s you, the best shaft flex will be senior or ladies. The extra whip will give you more power and you\u2019ll be able to get the most distance for your swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone that hits the ball&nbsp;<strong>between 200 and 240 yards<\/strong>&nbsp;probably has a swing speed between 80 and 90 MPH. This is where most golfers are, and if that\u2019s you, the best shaft will be regular. You\u2019ll get a good balance of distance and control over the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you normally drive the ball&nbsp;<strong>between 240 and 275 yards<\/strong>&nbsp;your swing speed is likely between 90 and 100 MPH. This is where most low handicap or younger mid handicaps are. The perfect shaft flex for these golfers is stiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone who drives the ball&nbsp;<strong>over 275 yards<\/strong>&nbsp;probably has a swing speed above 100 MPH. These are generally tour or scratch players. The optimal shaft flex is extra stiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Driver Loft For Mid-Handicap Golfers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Swing Speed<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Loft<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Under 80 MPH<\/td><td>13+ Degrees<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>80-95 MPH<\/td><td>11-13 Degrees<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Over 95 MPH<\/td><td>9-11 Degrees<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most mid-handicap golfers have swing speeds between 80-95 MPH and that\u2019s why the best driver loft will normally be 11-13 degrees. An 11-degree driver will produce less spin while a 13-degree driver will be more forgiving.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>second most important<\/strong>&nbsp;thing to look at is the driver loft. The good news is that a lot of the modern drivers are adjustable so you can really fine-tune things to see what works the best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, the loft of your driver will somewhat depend on your&nbsp;<strong>swing speed.<\/strong>&nbsp;If your swing speed is lower, you\u2019ll need more loft to help get the ball in the air. The opposite for faster swing speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What it\u2019ll also depend on is how much&nbsp;<strong>forgiveness<\/strong>&nbsp;you need. Higher lofted clubs are a lot easier to hit and the same goes for your driver. What\u2019s easier to hit, your 3 iron or 9 iron? The same goes for your driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your swing speed is&nbsp;<strong>less than 80 MPH<\/strong>&nbsp;you\u2019ll want to use a higher lofted driver. I\u2019d recommend a 13 or 14-degree driver for the best results. The extra loft will launch the ball higher in the air, it\u2019ll put less sidespin on the ball, and you\u2019ll get more distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone that has an&nbsp;<strong>average swing speed (80-95 MPH)<\/strong>&nbsp;should use a driver with a little bit less loft. I\u2019d recommend a driver with between 11 and 13 degrees of loft. If you already hit a lot of fairways, go with 11 degrees. If you need a bit more forgiveness, go with 12 or 13 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a&nbsp;<strong>fast swing speed (over 95 MPH)<\/strong>&nbsp;you can go with a driver with even less loft. You already have enough speed to get the ball in the air and will get more distance with less loft. If you hit a lot of fairways already, go with a 9-degree driver. If you need a bit more forgiveness, go with a 10 or 11 degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Get An Adjustable Driver?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern drivers have come a long way over the past few years and some of them have 15 different settings you can mess with. Yeah, those features are good and all but I\u2019m not the biggest fan myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I prefer keeping things<strong>&nbsp;as simple as possible<\/strong>&nbsp;and I think too many people spend hours messing around with their driver to find the optimal setting. If you\u2019re on tour then go right ahead. For everyone else, it\u2019s not really worth the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only feature I really like is the&nbsp;<strong>adjustable loft.<\/strong>&nbsp;That\u2019s something that\u2019s simple to mess around with and can have some impact on your game. Everything else I don\u2019t really care about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news with these drivers is that they all have this setting. Instead of picking between a 10.5 or 12-degree driver, you can get a 10.5-degree adjustable driver and tune it to 12 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Should You Upgrade Drivers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There comes a time when you feel like your driver just isn\u2019t cutting it anymore so you go out and drop $400 on the latest and greatest model. I\u2019ve done it and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve done it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But guess what ends up happening?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You hit the ball the&nbsp;<strong>same distance<\/strong>&nbsp;and your&nbsp;<strong>ball flight is the exact same<\/strong>. That\u2019s why the only time I\u2019d recommend you upgrade your driver is when you know for sure it\u2019ll have an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I\u2019ve noticed is that almost&nbsp;<strong>all drivers over the past 5 years<\/strong>&nbsp;hit the ball the same distance. There might be a slight difference but nothing that\u2019ll make a drastic difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same thing goes for&nbsp;<strong>forgiveness.<\/strong>&nbsp;Companies are throwing out all these made-up names for new technology, but does it really work? Again, there might be a slight difference but if you slice the ball with a 5-year-old driver you\u2019ll still slice the ball with this year\u2019s model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, long story short, you might want to think about upgrading your driver when you know for sure that it\u2019ll help you or when your current driver is&nbsp;<strong>over 5 years old<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news though is that all of these drivers can be used as you get better. There might be some slightly better options if you\u2019re a scratch player but there\u2019s no reason you couldn\u2019t use any of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Drivers For Mid Handicappers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I said before, a lot of the drivers over the past 5 years are very similar. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessary to go out and buy this year\u2019s model. Some of them are current models but a few of them are a year or two old. If I was in the market for a new driver these are the ones I\u2019d consider going with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cobra\">Cobra F9 Speedback (My #1 Pick)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KcR3AS-lEcw<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KcR3AS-lEcw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve never really played Cobra clubs until recently but the F9 Speedback has become&nbsp;<strong>my favorite driver<\/strong>&nbsp;for pretty much all skill levels. It\u2019s an awesome all-around driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I like about it is that it\u2019s a great option for not only mid handicaps but it\u2019ll still work for&nbsp;<strong>beginners and high handicap<\/strong>&nbsp;golfers. Hell, you could even use it as you work your way down to the low handicap range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It does come with some&nbsp;<strong>adjustable weights<\/strong>&nbsp;to give you the ball flight you\u2019re after. If you put the heavier weight at the back it\u2019ll raise the launch angle and give more of a draw bias. The opposite if you put the heavier weight towards the front (only 2 adjustments keep things simple).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also&nbsp;<strong>adjust the loft.<\/strong>&nbsp;If you have an average swing speed you can get the 10.5-degree option and adjust the loft to 11 or 12 degrees to see what works best for your swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would say the F9 is the longest or most forgiving driver on the market but it\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>near the top of the list<\/strong>&nbsp;in every single category (distance, forgiveness, sound, feel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07MCW576N?tag=gweek_end-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Check The F9 Price On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B07MCW576N\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Cobra Golf 2019 F9 Speedback Driver Black-Yellow  Men s Left Hand UST Helium 50 Reg Flex 10.5\">Check The F9 Price On Amazon<\/a>.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Adjustable loft.<\/li><li>A great mix of distance &amp; forgiveness.<\/li><li>Can be used by all skill levels.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Not the best for drawing or fading the ball.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ping\">Ping G400 (My #2 Pick)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MmBy7qa5c8M<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MmBy7qa5c8M\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I couldn\u2019t get my hands on an F9 or it was a bit out of my price tag, I\u2019d probably go with the G400. Out of all the drivers I\u2019ve seen it\u2019s probably the&nbsp;<strong>easiest one to hit well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not overly fancy but it does have some&nbsp;<strong>loft adjustments.<\/strong>&nbsp;What you\u2019ll get out of the G400 is high and straight golf shots. Don\u2019t know about you but that\u2019s all I\u2019m really looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do have a&nbsp;<strong>slower swing speed<\/strong>&nbsp;then I think this might suit you a little better than the Cobra. Both are great but the G400 gets the edge when it comes to finding the fairway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, the G400 doesn\u2019t go quite as far as the Cobra and it\u2019s not as adjustable. My swing speed is more on the \u201caverage\u201d level and I think that\u2019s the reason for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Senior or older golfers<\/strong>&nbsp;who don\u2019t swing as hard as they used to will absolutely love the G400. Plus, it\u2019s a good driver for beginners &amp; high handicaps as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgolf.com\/golf-clubs\/ping\/driver\/\" target=\"_blank\">Check The G400 Price On Global Golf.<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Incredibly easy to hit.<\/li><li>High launching.<\/li><li>Large sweet spot.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Not the best for shot shaping.<\/li><li>Minimal adjustments (could be good, could be bad).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mizuno\">Mizuno ST200<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-Post-Pic-7-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4941\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mizuno is somewhat of an overlooked company but they do make some really solid clubs. A friend of mine used to play the M6 driver and woods but&nbsp;<strong>recently switched to Mizuno<\/strong>&nbsp;and likes them a lot more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had hit Mizuno irons in the past and they were some of the&nbsp;<strong>best feeling<\/strong>&nbsp;irons I\u2019ve ever hit. After trying out my buddy\u2019s driver, I could say the same thing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I noticed with this driver was that it was&nbsp;<strong>lower launching<\/strong>&nbsp;and gave me a pretty low amount of sidespin. The lower launch might not be the best for slower swing speeds but the low sidespin is good for keeping the ball in the fairway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of all the drivers on this list, the Mizuno is definitely my&nbsp;<strong>favorite looking<\/strong>&nbsp;(along with the G400). I know it doesn\u2019t impact the performance but I thought I\u2019d throw that in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This driver does come in a few different options as well. The ST200X is their game-improvement model which promotes more of a draw shot shape. The ST200G is their more adjustable club for better players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you normally shoot in the&nbsp;<strong>low 80s<\/strong>&nbsp;and want a driver you can use as you get even better, the standard ST200 could be perfect for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B083T5PTQL?tag=gweek_end-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Check The ST200 Price On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B083T5PTQL\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Mizuno ST200 Driver Right Hand 10.5 Degree Mid Launch Stiff Black\">Check The ST200 Price On Amazon<\/a>.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Looks awesome.<\/li><li>One of the longer drivers.<\/li><li>The price is pretty reasonable.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Not the best for lower swing speeds.<\/li><li>It has a bit of a high pitched sound.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"callaway\">Callaway Epic Flash<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2_Blog-Post-Pic-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4885\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer Callaway clubs over anything else, the Epic Flash will be a perfect option for you.
