Best driver under $100
Look, we get it, golf clubs, more specifically new drivers, can be expensive. Once you factor in the potential cost of a fitting and or other shaft options you could be looking at a single club that retails for close to $1,000—that’s a lot of dough! That’s why we want to help show you what you can get for your money with the best driver under $100.
As much as we love new clubs and new technology, at GolfWRX we still love to find the best deals to help golfers get the most value and when it comes to clubs and in this case drivers. There is a lot of value in the marketplace if you know where to look, so we did the looking for you and have assembled the best drivers you can find under $100.
** Note: Used club prices fluctuate and the clubs selected for this list we’re easily located in good shape for under the stated $100 price point **
Best driver under $100
Taylormade Jet Speed
As far as marketing a driver goes, I don’t think anyone has still quite figured out how or why tour player puppet look-a-likes was a great idea, but the Jet Speed driver itself was actually a really good driver that offered adjustability and mid to lower spin in a forgiving design. The best part about the JetSpeed is the current TaylorMade adapter is still compatible, so if you happen to have a few shafts kicking around you can even do some testing.
Adams XTD
The XTD was the last “premium line” driver ever produced by Adams golf, and it benefits from the fact that by this time TaylorMade had purchased the Plano, Texas-based company and it was using the same adapter tip as the current crop of TaylorMade drivers.
It was designed to produced right to the limit CT/CoR numbers, thanks in part to slots placed both on the sole but also on the crown, and because of this design, it was a bit of an acquired taste for some golfers. If you can get past the looks from address, you will have yourself a driver that keeps up to almost anything.
Titleist 910
The Titleist 910 is another driver that benefits from being older, while still using the same type of adapter as the modern models. It came in two versions; the 910D2 which was shallower and more forgiving, and the 910D3 which is a more traditional pear shape with a taller face that offers lower spin.
Both versions of the driver can be found in nice shape for under $100, and if you take some time to look around, you can find quite a few with aftermarket shafts that make this best driver under $100 seem like a complete bargain.
Cleveland Launcher DST – Distance Sub Three hundred
The Cleveland Launcher DST drivers could be one of the best all-around options when it comes to a driver for under $100.
Like others on this list, the Launcher DST came in a couple of options; a standard model and a “tour” version featuring a lower spinning fade biased head design. For the stronger players that prefer a fixed hosel, the DST Tour came stock with a Miyazaki Kusala Black which in the aftermarket would cost around $300 on its own!

Ping Anser is hands down the best under $100 and it might be under $50. Still out plays my Mavrik and G410.

I bought a used Jet Speed in VGC for $60. It was good, but adjustable drivers just feel head heavy to me. I bought a new Aeroburner on eBay for $125. It feels great. But, if you can find one in good shape, the TaylorMade Burner 2007 driver is one of the best ever, imo.

I got a brand new Cobra LTD Pro for 99 bucks from golf etail about 2 years ago. Still the best deal on golf equipment I’ve ever seen. To bad I let a buddy use it and now it has the worst sky marks you can imagine.
