Finding Used Golf Drivers For Seniors So They Can Feel Good When They Swing

Taking a look at what drivers work best for seniors and where you can get them!

We’re going to drop some statistics on you cause there’ nothing golfers like more than taking a look at numbers:

• According to the National Golf Foundation, in a year-end 2023 survey those in the 50+ age bracket make up 43% of golfers nationwide. With 6.1 million being 50-64 years old and 5.4 million 65+ years old. Seniors make up nearly half the playing demographic of golf today which is a pretty huge feat especially since golf is really the only sport that sees those in this age still playing the game regularly. 

It’s a versatile game and because it’s less physically taxing compared to sports like American football, baseball, hockey, etc. you’ll find that the age group can vary more which attracts those in all ages to continue swinging till they can’t no more.

Because golf is low-impact you’re able to move more and continue playing as you age and that can lead to increased health benefits:

• From Amy Alexander, a physical therapist with Banner Sports Medicine Scottsdale: “Research shows that the static and dynamic balance of golfers aged 65 to 79 years is significantly better than non-golfers.” “This is important, considering balance, gait instability and muscle weakness are known risk factors for falls in older adults.”

Besides the physical benefits, golf offers a lot of mental ones as well. When you’re retired you find yourselves with a lot of free time on your hands which can mean a lot of boredom sitting at home and a lot less social interaction then you were used to when you were younger. If you golf with friends or meet people who are also looking to golf at your local course, this boosts your mood and helps improve your overall health, not just your physical.

So as you can see, golf and seniors are a perfect match and that means more and more people 60-65+ are looking to get into the game or pick back up the game after they left it when they were younger. This means you need to build your golf bag and one of the most useful clubs to have is your driver. Drivers let your ball find distance, they also require quite the swing, so we’re going to take a look at some used drivers for seniors so you can swing comfortably and still hit like you’re thirty years younger. 

But why are we the ones qualified to answer your club questions? Well if you haven’t heard of us yet then let us have the pleasure of introducing you to what we do best:

Our story is a simple one, what started out as a side-venture in the highs and lows of selling shoes on eBay, has now turned around to be a business with 20 full-time employees, a 15,000 square foot warehouse, and relationships with private golf courses all over the U.S. At StickHawk you can make your putting dreams come true as we sell quality drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, iron sets, single irons, wedges, putters, complete club sets for those who need the basics to play today, and accessories. We want to match you with the golf club(s) of your dreams. You can take our “Club Decider Quiz” and it will help you decide the exact right make and models you need to feel good while you’re on the course.

We really care that you’re getting the right golf clubs, we don’t just sell to sell. We mentioned our “Find the right clubs” quiz- (which will either be as a “pop up” as you go onto our homepage or you will see it once you scroll down to the bottom of the screen and you’ll know you’re in the right place when you see our Hawk mascot holding gold clubs like a real player). The team has spent hours coming up with and designing the right questions to find you the golf clubs that’ll fit you at your skill level. We spent hours making sure we point you in the right direction and that includes finding drivers for seniors.

Our goal in this list is to find drivers that meet the needs of someone’s skillset that is slower and needs a bit more of a helping-hand. With that we are looking at drivers that offer flexible shafts and more loft. Here's what we liked best:

?️TaylorMade Qi10 MAX:

First up we are taking a look at the TaylorMade Qi10 MAX which is great for those senior golfers who consider themselves “average” players and have a mid-to-high handicap. We’re looking at this club because of its forgiveness and help with hits that tend to be a bit more off-center than what we would have initially liked. This driver is also great with ball height, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how high you can still hit when you’re doing it with the Qi10 MAX.

We have more than a few TaylorMade Qi10 Max’s in stock which you can view on our store page, but here’s one that’s great for seniors:

TIP: Anytime you see the words “senior flex” look towards it!

This is the TaylorMade Qi10 MAX Driver 12* Fujikura Speeder NX 50g Senior Graphite Mens RH which was $581.99 and is now $272.19. This club is pre-owned, has been hit with, and has marks on it from normal use, but is overall in good condition. Here are the specs:

?️Ping G430 MAX:

When you think of the “most forgiving” brand of clubs, you think of Ping. Many gravitate towards Ping because of how they are built and how well they can help a golfer’s swing while out on the course. Other reviews have said the Ping G430 MAX is great for slicers and we’d have to agree. It hits far, gains distance, and is light which is needed especially if you’re not swinging as hard as you were. This is a great upgrade if you’re looking for a new driver and want to stay in the Ping family as well as shopping used.

We have more than a few Ping G430 MAX’s in stock, including a lot with different type of shafts, which you can view on our store page, but here’s one that’s great for seniors:

?️Titleist TSR1:

Calling out for our moderate-speed swingers, the ones who still want their ball to fly far without necessarily the speed to back it up. Here we have the Titleist TSR1, one of the most recommended drivers for seniors on the market. It feels easy to hit with because of its back and low center of gravity and its forgiveness is, well, very forgiving. It also can be super-light which is great and is honestly really fun to play with (different models vary in weight). Even if you aren’t a senior, it feels like a great addition to the bag for those days when you want to feel weightless while playing.
