Callaway's Elyte Triple Diamond driver for low spin

Check out all the top picks for low-spin drivers below.

Courtesy

If you’re a bomber off the tee with a fast swing speed, you need a low-spin driver. Fortunately for you, we identified the best drivers for low spin among all the new drivers for ClubTest 2025.

But why would you need a low-spin driver? As swing speeds and ball speeds get higher, the effect of spin on your tee shots increase. The result? Drives flying all over the course. But low-spin drivers are designed to minimize spin to help your drives go straighter. With the help of player testing conducted at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Ariz., we determined nine best new drivers that put a focus on low spin.

THE BASICS: Rounding out the Callaway Elyte driver lineup is the Elyte Triple Diamond, which is geared toward better players. While Triple Diamond models have been on Tour since 2018, the Elyte version features a slightly smaller (450 cc) profile and glossy carbon crown compared to the rest of the lineup, which has a matte finish. The Triple Diamond has front and rear adjustable weights which can be used to dial in launch and spin characteristics.

TOUR INSPIRED SHAPING A refined clubhead shape features a reduced visual footprint at address that promotes workability and control. NEW INTERNAL ADAPTIVE WEIGHTING SYSTEM A re-engineered PWR-BRIDGE weight (in the 9.0 driver) is shaped with a slight curvature to position the CG lower and more forward to reduce spin for increased speed creation. LARGER H.O.T. FACE INSERT A larger forged face insert with H.O.T. face technology delivers improved face flex for more robust distance and ball speeds. MAX WORKABILITY WITH ADDED FORGIVENESS Adjustable heel and toe weights are complemented with a third back weight, allowing for additional adjustment to optimize spin & forgiveness.

THE BASICS: Designed for golfers with faster swing speeds, the Cobra DS-Adapt LS model reduces spin off the tee while offering greater shot-shaping versatility. According to Cobra, the LS features the most advanced aerodynamics in the DS-Adapt line, thanks to its raised rear section, higher crown peak, and new heel aerodynamic shaping. It also boasts the most compact address profile of the four models (445cc), along with three adjustable weight ports for fine-tuning any kind of shot shape.

PLAYER TESTING TAKEAWAYS: “This driver had the best numbers across all categories. It’s a pretty club, I love the look. Clean. Impact-wise, it’s very good. Good sound and good feedback off the face. I got a 4,000 rpm spin rating and the ball stayed on the grid!” – Chad Nading (+1.5-handicap) on the Cobra DS-Adapt LS driver

Mizuno ST-G 440

Mizuno ST-G 440 Custom Driver

Mizuno ST-G 440 Custom Driver

Player preferred 440cc Pear Shape with Deep Face to allow for more discretionary weight to enhance spin characteristics. CORTECH CHAMBER A chamber located on the sole adjacent to the face, filled with an elastomeric material with inserted weight provides: Larger CORAREA, improved spin performance, and tuned impact sound. FULL LENGTH MAXIMIZED FAST TRACK Provides the ability to adjust from mid-low to very-low spin. FORGED TI LFS A Beta Rich Titanium that is lighter, faster, and stronger than SAT2041. MULTI-THICKNESS CORTECH FACE Refined to maximize CORAREA combined with the NEW Ti LFS face material. TOE WRAP AROUND COMPOSITE Increased discretionary weight and more balance left/right trajectory. 440CC PLAYER’S PEAR SHAPE An inviting, compact, deeper face 440cc head that sits perfectly square at address. HIT TUNED IMPACT SOUND Strategically placed internal sound ribs tune the impact sound to the appropriate frequency and sound pressure. QUICK SWITCH ADJUSTABILITY 4 degrees of loft adjustability to fine-tune address look and trajectory.

THE BASICS: To help the face of the ST-G driver better deliver more energy across a larger area the engineers at Mizuno utilize a beta-rich Ti LFS material. This titanium alloy offers up a 9 percent higher tensile strength compared to SAT2041 which gave designers the opportunity to push the multi-thickness face geometry further. The ST-G features the lowest spin and least forgiveness in the ST line and is gear toward expert players.

Ping G440 LST

PING G440 LST Custom Driver

PING G440 LST Custom Driver

The G440 driver family (MAX, LST, SFT) is optimized to deliver more ball speed through multiple advancements, including PING’s deepest CG in a driver to date and a shallower, thinner face, while continuing to ensure the game-changing forgiveness expected from a PING driver. The G440 LST (Low Spin) design appeals to players with faster swing speeds, providing lower spin and more control in 9° and 10.5° lofts with the three-position back weight. HIGHLY FORGIVING Lighter head weight allows for heavier back weight.  FASTER FACE  Shallow, thinner, face increases ball speed for more distance, higher launch.  SOUND DESIGN New shaping, carbon crown and internal ribs produce muted impact experience.  FREE-HOSEL DESIGN Saves weight to lower CG, increase forgiveness. Allows for more heel-side face flexing for consistent ball speed across face.

THE BASICS: The G440 LST (Low Spin Technology) comes in a slightly smaller package (450 cc) and is a Tour-inspired model for high-speed players seeking to lower spin. Like the G440 Max, the LST also features the three-position adjustable backweight to adjust horizontal CG location. CG was also lowered through the use of a new internal technology called Free Hosel, which freed up 5g of weight in the high heel section of the driver.

PLAYER TESTING TAKEAWAYS: “Like the finish. Looks rich. Feels firm and solid. Pretty good forgiveness. Mishits were still good.” – Chris Storbeck (13.3-handicap) on the Ping G440 LST driver

PXG 0311 Black Ops Tour-1

PXG 0311 Black Ops Tour-1 Custom Driver

PXG 0311 Black Ops Tour-1 Custom Driver

The PXG 0311 Black Ops Tour-1 is a tour-inspired head design featuring a taller face with a more curved crown to unlock maximum distance with a penetrating ball flight. AMF Face Technology Propriety high strength, and more flexible, Titanium Alloy face material supports increased face deflection during impact for big distance gains. Variable Face Thickness This proprietary design helps to optimize the driver’s performance by ensuring consistent and efficient energy transfer across various impact points on the clubface. High Strength Composite Construction Lightweight crown and sole inserts, made from high-grade carbon fiber using advanced compression molding, enable optimal weight distribution in the clubhead. This enhances the moment of inertia (MOI), shifts the center of gravity (CG) lower and farther back, resulting in improved distance and forgiveness. Non-Uniform Bulge and Roll Face Strategically adjusting the horizontal and vertical curvatures across the face offers enhanced forgiveness and improves the club’s reaction to off-center hits.
$649.99 from Fairway Jockey
View Product

THE BASICS: The Black Ops Tour-1 driver’s compact shape helps to create a more low and forward center of gravity, which leads to to lower spin for faster players. But even with the smaller shape it maintains a large face profile equal to the standard model to help with forgiveness. Robot testing shows that the Tour-1 is the lowest-spinning driver PXG has ever created and spins on average close to 20-percent less than the standard Black Ops model, which when compared to the Gen6 models is already low spin.

“This driver was the best for me. Solid feel, neutral sound. All swings produced good results.” — Julie Loughman

“PXG wins for look and feel in a close race with other top performers in this category. Like the simple look and X on crown. Mishits were good, good feedback too.” — Michael Klonsoki (9.8 handicap)

Srixon ZXi LS

THE BASICS: Made for players who prefer a low-spin, mid-height trajectory, the Srixon ZXi LS driver offers added performance for golfers with faster swing speeds who want to avoid ballooning tee shots. Like the ZXi, the ZXi LS comes with a Ti72S clubface and two adjustable weights — but in this model Srixon has positioned the weights behind the face and toward the rear of the clubhead to allow golfers to dial in a more specific spin rate.

THE BASICS: To design the Qi35 drivers, TaylorMade designers started with what’s called a “mood board” of images they wanted to shape the look of the new line. For Qi35, the mood board included an F-22 Fighter Jet, an exotic yacht, a Lamborghini and several examples of “point to” features — and all of these ideas culminated in specific features of the Qi35 drivers. The Qi35 LS is a low-spin option designed for Tour players and expert amateurs.

Titleist GT4

Titleist GT4 Custom Driver

Titleist GT4 Custom Driver

GT4 – Exceptional Low-Spin Performance GT4 is Titleist’s most aggressive spin-reducing driver ever. With an adjustable forward and aft CG that can dramatically drop RPMs to optimal levels, this driver packs immense power into a compact, player-preferred shape for total confidence over every drive. For players losing distance due to spin rates above 3,000 RPMs, GT4 offers Titleist’s most aggressive spin-reducing driver. Split Mass Construction An evolution in internal weighting enables even greater spin-killing performance in GT4. By pushing the mass distribution farther apart, the clubhead maintains back-weighted stability while simultaneously driving CG forward for our greatest spin reduction to date. Refined Aerodynamics Material improvements in construction allow GT4 to feature a more compact 430cc clubhead with player-preferred shaping to help neutralize spin and generate incredibly consistent distance. Dual Spin-Control Settings Knock down spin with the twist of a wrench. GT4 features two weight positions to customize your club’s performance. Set the weight forward for the most aggressive reduction in spin. Set it back for a balanced blend of speed, stability and more moderate spin reduction.
$649 from Fairway Jockey
View Product

THE BASICS: The Titleist GT4 (8, 9, 10 degrees) is designed for golfers seeking to shed spin. When the heavier 11-gram weight is situated in the front, launch and spin are reduced. If the numbers dip to uncomfortable levels, simply place the 3-gram weight in the same location and place the heavier weight in the rear to increase launch and spin. Similar to previous 4 models, the head is slightly smaller at 430cc.

THE BASICS: The Dynapwr LS driver is the most compact driver in Wilson’s new Dynapwr lineup at 445cc, designed as a fade-biased driver to help better players eliminate the left side of the golf course. The shaping of the LS was refined with a raised skirt and a curved crown to make the clubhead more aerodynamic, allowing faster clubhead speeds. Like all the other drivers in the Dynapwr family, the LS features a 6-way adjustable hosel, but unique to the LS and Carbon models are front and back adjustable weights to dial in launch and spin. The LS has the heaviest movable weights (6g and 12g standard) allowing for the greatest CG movement.
