Go to your local pro shop or sports equipment store. Either of these venues are suitable for choosing a driver that is comfortable and the proper size for your body frame.

Choose a club head size. There are three options for club head size: standard, midsized and oversize. Standard drivers have a smaller sweet spot but also provide control. Midsized clubs have a medium-sized sweet spot and are lighter than oversized clubs. Oversized clubs are the heaviest and have the largest sweet spot but are difficult to control. An employee or golf pro can help suggest a suitable club head for your particular skill level.
