It has 13 degrees of loft, not the 9.5-10.5 degrees many amateurs play with in their drivers. The Teeless Driver as easy to hit off the ground than it is off a tee.įirst off, the face is narrower, and the clubhead is deeper than a typical driver. The design of this titanium driver addresses all of that. Those tendencies, of course, are to slice the ball, hit it fat and hit it all over the face. Part of the pitch by spokesman and former PGA Tour player and Golf Channel analyst Notah Begay is that if you don't have a swing speed of at least 110 mph and hit your driver more than 270 yards, why would you want to play the same equipment that the tour players use? So RXS designed this driver for all the tendencies most mortal players have. They looked to create a club for recreational players and recreational swings, not tour swings. So I put this club to the test.įirst, though, a little about the design of this club and who's behind it: The Teeless Driver was developed by Geurin Rife of Rife Putters fame and Jeff Sheets, who develops custom golf clubs from his Austin, Texas-based firm, Jeff Sheets Golf Design. Having lost some distance with my driver in recent years as well as a little accuracy as well in my advancing age, I was certainly intrigued by this claim.
But most importantly, they will be more consistent. The claim is that most players will hit this club as long as their current drivers or even longer. As the name would imply – and it's also referred to as the (T)LESS Driver - this is a driver that's designed to be so incredibly friendly to hit off the ground, you really don't even need a tee. Those were all new concepts, and now there's another one that promises to change the game as we know it - especially for the recreational player.ĭeveloped by a new company called RXS, the new Teeless Driver ($297-$347, depending on shaft options) promises to make the game way easier for those who aren't scratch or near scratch players.
That certainly happened with the original Ping putters, the first oversized drivers and solid core premium golf balls. After all, is it really that much better than the previous $500 version of that driver?īut every once is a while, a new concept comes along that really does change the game as we know it. The latest $500 driver generally isn't going to bring your handicap down. You may have heard more than once that you can't buy a better game by purchasing new equipment.
