Our take: In 1953, Ben Hogan conquered the golf world with wins at the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open. A half-century later, it’s only fitting that the GS53 (named in honor of Hogan’s famed ’53 campaign) carried a similar swagger into ClubTest. “It’s no nonsense, all the way through,” said one tester. “It’s simple, feels good, goes a long way. It’s not a hard choice.” You might not find flash among the GS53’s top benefits, but you’ll have no problem finding fairways.

You won’t find any surprises with the GS53, particularly on the crown. The true innovation is on the inside, where engineers adjusted a higher, more forwardly positioned CG for better clubhead speeds and penetrating trajectories.

The details: A driver as it should be. The 445cc, titanium-bodied longstick is built with a forged clubface with variable thickness to ensure consistency from heel to toe. The Hogan team’s insistence on a “traditional” driver design means you won’t find any surprises with the GS53, particularly on the crown. Rather, the true innovation is on the inside, where engineers adjusted a higher, more forwardly positioned CG for better clubhead speeds and penetrating trajectories.
