The article discusses how professional golfers are increasingly using drivers designed for everyday players, rather than the traditional drivers preferred by the best players in the world. Golfers like Scottie Scheffler and Nelly Korda have shown that it is possible to play at a world-class level with forgiving drivers. The article emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all driver for different skill levels and swing speeds, and that finding the right driver requires individualized optimization. The use of drivers with higher moment of inertia (MOI) is also discussed, with the understanding that MOI is not the sole determinant of forgiveness or distance gain. The article concludes by encouraging golfers to approach driver fittings with an open mind and be willing to explore different possibilities. [Extracted from the article]
