The longest golf driver is 1 wood, which is designed to hit the ball the greatest distance. It has the longest range of any club in a golfer’s bag. It is designed to be hit off the tee for the first shot of long-yardage holes. The driver can also be hit from the turf, although modern deep-faced drivers require a high level of skill and a certain amount of luck regarding the “lie” of the ball to execute such a shot correctly.

Some 2-woods also have a similar deep-face oversized design, used for tee shots requiring less distance than the player’s average drive or for players with slower swing speeds to achieve the optimum distance using their slower swing tempo. The driver is generally the largest, longest, and often the lightest of the golf clubs in the player’s bag. With the increased design technology in modern clubs, the cost of drivers has dramatically increased and now cost about $100 up to $2199 .
