Most Forgiving Driver

• The most important thing to talk about when you
  are just starting to play golf is the most
  forgiving driver. Since they have a larger face
  they make sure that the ball spins less and your
  shots go straight down the fairway. This is what
  the beginners should aim at. The best modern
  drivers are made of titanium, but if you are a
  budget constraint, you can also go for the steel
  ones.
