Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose a golf driver?

  Choosing a golf driver comes down to matching the club to your swing. Higher lofts help golfers with slower swing speeds launch the ball more easily, while lower lofts suit faster swings. Forgiving driver heads are ideal for off-centre hits, and shaft flex should align with your swing speed for the best balance of distance and control. Most importantly, choose a driver that feels comfortable and gives you confidence at address.

• What’s the best driver for my swing speed?

  The best driver for your swing speed depends on how fast you hit the ball and the level of forgiveness you need. Slower swing speeds often benefit from higher lofts and lightweight designs, while faster swing speeds suit lower-lofted, lower-spinning models. Our used driver range includes options for every swing speed, all performance-tested for consistency.

• Is it worth buying a used golf driver in NZ?

  Yes. Buying a used golf driver is one of the best value moves you can make. You can get premium models from brands like TaylorMade, Callaway, Titleist, Ping, and more at a fraction of the original price. Every driver we sell is quality-checked for condition, loft, face integrity, and overall performance, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

• How do I choose the right driver loft?

  Most golfers in NZ perform best with driver lofts between 9° and 11°. Higher lofts offer more forgiveness and help with launch, while lower lofts suit players with higher swing speeds. If you’re unsure, choosing a 10.5° driver is a safe starting point for most golfers.

• Which drivers are most forgiving for beginners?

  If forgiveness is your priority, look for drivers with larger clubheads, high MOI, and generous sweet spots. Popular forgiving options include the TaylorMade SIM Max, Callaway MAVRIK MAX, and Ping G400/G425 series. These are designed to help you hit straighter, more consistent shots.

  You can find a wide range of used TaylorMade and Callaway drivers right here at ARC Golf. Our selection includes popular models like the SIM, SIM Max, Stealth, MAVRIK, Rogue, and more – all inspected and ready for fast NZ-wide shipping.

• Does driver shaft flex make a big difference?

  Yes — shaft flex has a huge impact on accuracy, launch, and distance. Slower swing speeds generally match better with Regular or Senior flex, while faster swing speeds benefit from Stiff or X-Stiff shafts. Each product page includes the exact flex so you can choose what suits your game.

• Are adjustable drivers worth it?

  Adjustable drivers are great if you want to fine-tune your ball flight. You can change loft, lie angle, and sometimes weight settings to promote higher launch, lower spin, or shot-shape correction. Brands like TaylorMade, Callaway, and Titleist offer excellent adjustable systems.

• How do I know if a used driver is still in good condition?

  Look for a clean clubface, no cracks in the head and a shaft free from damage. At ARC Golf, every used driver is carefully checked for face wear, structural integrity, loft/lie accuracy, and overall performance before being listed.
