The Best Golf Clubs for Golfers
What are the best golf clubs? Depends... on so many things.
I point out which type of golfer I believe a club might benefit most: beginner, high handicapper, mid handicapper, low handicapper.
Just remember, every time you see "best" in front of "golf clubs", "irons", "driver", etc., you're about to read someone's opinion. Fact is, all major golf manufacturers are knocking it out of the park in terms of the quality they're putting out. The real differences come down to the handicap(s) a given club is tailored to and personal preference.
"Best" is subjective. Keep that in mind and test for yourself if possible. We are always updating this page so you can refer back to it for the latest and greatest.
Best Irons

Verdict
The Hogan Edge EX irons are an excellent choice for beginners through mid handicap golfers. Or any golfer looking for added forgiveness. Don't sleep on their performance either. They can handle any shot you dial up.
I played them like I play my combo set without issue. The heads just look a WHOLE lot more forgiving.

The Hogan Icon irons are an excellent choice for any golfer looking to step into serious blades. They can handle any shot you got. Easy on the eyes too. It's like having works of art in your golf bag.
They scream "PLAYER". But... slight mishits don't make me feel like an idiot either.

The Hogan Player's Combo set are an excellent choice for low handicap players or golfers looking to move into player irons (like me).
This is my everyday set and I've had zero issues playing them. They give back what you put in but aren't overly punishing on mishits. Pin high golf is addicting.

The Hogan PTx PRO irons are an excellent golf clubs for low handicap golfers looking for a little forgiveness throughout their set.
The short irons are deadly accurate and consistent. And, you get just the right amount of forgiveness in the mid and short irons.
Because they're Hogans, you're going pay about 50% less than what you'd shell out to the big boys for comparable clubs.

The Titleist T200 Irons are an excellent choice for mid handicap golfers and can be equally enjoyed by low handicaps. The only drawback for more accomplished players may be clubhead size. Players tend to like em more compact. But get past that and you're golden.
They were a dream to hit. Great ball flight, distance, and outstanding feel. I loved my time with them.
Pros:
Cons:
Verdict
The Callaway Mavrik Irons are a great option for mid handicap golfers and can be played by lower handicaps too. Like the T200's, the heads are on the big side for players (who prefer compact heads). They are easy to hit and the ball flies off the face - a lot of the face. Packed with forgiveness too.
Pros:
Cons:
Verdict
The Taylormade M6 Irons are great golf clubs for high handicappers and mid handicappers alike. The head is generous, but not bulky.
They provide tons of help with launching your ball high and keeping it there for a good while. The entire face felt hot. But, you can "play" these too. I was able to flight and work the ball with little problem.
Get em if you can find em. Check out the link above to get yours.

The Taylormade Stealth Driver is the best driver I've tested for 2022.
It's as long and forgiving as you could ask for and keeps all but your worst swings in play. I had a ball hitting the Stealth and it should top your list of the 2022 selection of drivers.
You just gotta be prepared for the sticker shock.

The Taylormade SIM2 Driver is the best driver I've tested not named Stealth.
I tested the SIM2 and Stealth drivers side by side for two days and noticed only minimal differences between sound, feel, and distance. I wouldn't hesitate to take it to the course today.
Recommendation: The SIM2 is definitely worth a look if you are in the market for a premium driver at newly lowered prices.
Pros:
Cons:
Verdict
The Callaway Mavrik Driver was our favorite driver of the last few years and bargains are everywhere because its an older model.
You can dial this thing back into the fairway so easily - or at least playable. It's long. It's forgiving. It looks great. Nothing not to like in this driver.
100% worth a look if you are in the market for a great driver at a bargain price.

Cons:
Verdict
The Ben Hogan GS53 Max Driver is the best driver Hogan has put out. And, it's a great driver no matter who's name is on it.
It's got all the bells and whistles you expect in today's best drivers but keeps them hidden in classic Hogan elegant design. It's in my bag and I love it.
It has all the pop and forgiveness you need off the tee and at a substantial savings compared to the big boys. A must-have if Hogan is your brand.

Best Hybrids
Pros:
Cons:
Verdict
The Ben Hogan VKTR+ Hybrid is exactly what you need a hybrid to be.
- It looks great behind the ball.
- The face is hot and forgiving so solid contact is easy.
- The ball launches easily and carries high and far for soft landings.
I think it's the best looking hybrid out there. It's playable for any handicap - which is rare.

Best Fairway Woods
Pros:
Cons:
Verdict
The Ben Hogan GS53 Fairway Wood is a low handicap's dream.
- "Tour-Inspired" compact clubhead.
- Classic design.
- Very playable.
But, I think good ball-striking mid handicaps may want to give it a try using the demo program mentioned below. I don't get punished on slight mishits - No great loss of distance.
The 3-wood and 5-wood are in my bag. They've been great golf clubs for me.

Best Wedges
Pros:
Cons:
Verdict
The Ben Hogan Equalizer II Wedges are phenomenal scoring clubs.
They are supremely consistent and I have complete confidence when I step over a shot with them.
- Half shots
- Partial shots
- Full shots - and
- Any shot around the green is easily handled with an Equalizer 2 wedge.

Best Putters
Pros:
Cons:
Verdict
The Ben Hogan BHM01 Putter is butter soft, gets your ball rolling end over end, and will likely be the best looking putter you'll ever own.
I'd never played a high-end milled putter before so I expected a certain intimidation factor and a metallic click or feel on contact. No sir. It feels great and performs spectacularly.
Looking to step into a high-end precision milled putter but don't want to spend a cool 4 bills? Give the BHM01 a look.
