Iconic drivers of the last 25 years

[Tashyboy]

The SLDR Although allegedly ground breaking in the sense of moving weights. Was the biggest length of rammel I have ever swung.

 

[Swinger]

Taylormade 510TP. Had a price tag of £499 I think back in about 2003ish? Best driver I can remember.

 

[ExRabbit]

Cleveland Classic XL Custom​

I could sell you a G2

I had one before but I cracked the face.


Luckily, I had just turned pro and Ping very kindly gave me a G5

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Big Bertha

I never had one but I remember the ripples this made at the time. Surely in the top 3 of iconic drivers of the modern era.

Also show how important a name is. More memorable than a number

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I'd add the Ping G25. I guess it falls outside the window but surely the original TM Burner

Titleist 910, it’s taken Titleist the best part of 10 years to get another close to this one.

Titleist 910.

The first Titleist driver that could be adjusted. I still have mine but after 12 years I replaced it with a TSR3. In all those years Titleist have never altered the adapter for the shaft. Not sure if other manufacturers have kept theirs the same.

I loved the 910, upgraded (so I thought) to the 915 and hated it. Haven’t had another Titleist driver since. I still have a 910 4w and 4 hybrid in my shed. Might need a revisit of these.

I’m still using a 910 three metal. Same age as my driver (12 years) but it will not leave my bag unless it breaks.

Wow, almost 30 years since The Taylor Made Burner with the bubble shaft came out

I put a 910 3 wood in my bag 2 years ago. Lovely shallow face and a mid high launch shaft.
Completely changed my 3 wood game.
I can confidently stand and bang it over trees now which I could never do with any of my old 3 woods.
It's not as hot of some of the new 3 woods about but for me it's playable. Use it off the tee and long approach shots with ease.

Titleist 910.

Good shout! First adjustable model they produced. Heck of a driver and now on the list! Thanks for the suggestion

 

[Armitage Shanks]

Big Bertha

Certainly an iconic driver but too old to be in this list.

 

[Armitage Shanks]

I am sure we all will have different views as to what is "iconic".

For me the Ping G5, G10, G15 etc were all versions of the same. So pick one only.
But I would pick the Ping Rapture, merely because they gave it a nice name.
For the same reason I would class the Cleveland Launcher 400 (2002) as iconic.

The only 21st century drivers I have owned are the TaylorMade R360 (2001), the 2007 Ping G10 and the 2004 Cobra F Speed. But I wouldn't class these as iconic.

The launcher was an absolute weapon! present in so many bags at the time and certainly makes the list! Great idea thanks

 

[Klimski]

Callaway 454 - in my eyes still the prettiest oversize driver ever made. I'm gaming one now, in a weird 15 degree high launch spec.

As others have said, Titleist 910. A couple of years ago Adam Scott went back to it for a bit.

TM: R300 series was awesome, R500 series moved things forward a bit, M1 (massive game changer and their most successful club ever at the time).
