Best low spin driver that avoids hooky mishits? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing drivers. WRXer ‘jjinsa’ lays out exactly what he’s looking for in a driver:
“1. On toe hits, must not give me a low spin shot that duck hooks left. If it stays straight off the toe, even a slight draw of under 5y (I hit a fade) and still stays in the air with decent spin, I am happy. Just dont want those low duck hooks that go OB and cost me 2-3 shots.
2. I realize most low spin drivers will not give me the above, but dont want a driver that is too spinny.”
And our members have been sharing their top picks in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- MountainMan: “Cobra Max-K does real well with the toe miss and keeping spin consistent. I’ve fought that low spin lefts for a long time and it has helped. It is worth trying.”
- MyShortGameSucks: “G430 LST. It’s not really that low spin a driver. Maybe relative to the Ping MAX drivers its lower spin. It’s really forgiving on toe hits.”
- DNice26: “Ping 440 LST…. You’re welcome.”

Spotted: Titleist GTS USWO headcovers
GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore was at Riviera Country Club this last week in Los Angeles for the U.S. Women’s Open. While browsing the photos, I spotted a recent major trend in headcovers. That is, the Titleist GTS headcover line expands the majors theme.
Seen on the bag of Natalia Guseva were the red, white, and blue Titleist GTS covers. This is the third time we have seen limited-edition Titleist major covers, the others being at the Masters and the PGA Championship. But with the launch of the GTS line back at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March, this is the first time we have seen Titleist come out with major themed head covers for the season (driver headcovers through hybrids).
Check out some photos below.

At the Masters, we saw the familiar Masters green, white, and yellow. While the PGA Championship design was colors synonymous with the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. This shows the season major drops continue full steam ahead for major OEMs. New opportunities for each major for designs and themes, and who knows, maybe a lucky spark for a player and a major championship for their resume. It gets the wheels turning for what major theme headcover you would keep on your bag for the whole season!

I would go with a Core model that has a front and back weight that you can flip and give a lower spin profile.
