pretty much any 460cc driver will be forgiving..larger head, larger sweet spot...best thing to do it go to a shop that has the option of hitting b4 you buy...try different drivers/shafts/lofts...find something that works best for you

FT-iQ is crazy straight. And stays straight and long on off-center hits.

I definitely agree!! Even mis-hits are not horrible...well...most of the time! But there was this day........

Tools of my game:

5-pw G10's/ plus Taylormade R7 4 iron
Burner 08' 4 Hybrid
A70S 3 Hybrid Burner 09' 3 wood "Zing" SW 56 degree Fastback Laser range finder / plus Skycaddie SG5...also a great ball retriever!!

Driver head doesnt mean anything without the correct shaft for your swing. You have the ability to control your tee shots much more with the right shaft than trying to compare driver heads that virtually have the same characteristics.

I also found the 5900 and G10 forgiving. I wish I'd kept the G10 and simply reshafted with the "right" shaft.

Hippo Hex2, fixed my slice. I got it when I cracked the head on my TaylorMade R9 and didn't have much money. Not a very expensive or popular driver but I love it more than any other driver I have used.

The most forgiving driver is the one in the hands of the player with a good swing and a fitted driver.

But, if you want to know the truth, any square clubhead is going to provide a bit more forgiveness on off center hits. Having a good swing is much more important than a forgiving driver. If you can find the center of the face, any club will seem forgiving.

Personally I don't like the most forgiving ashtrays, triangles etc. ...... just give me a classic pear and you just have to work-work-work-work-work to get things right !

What drivers do you think are the most forgiving on off-center hits? I usually get about 240 yards of carry so I am not worried about distance.

Ping G15 hands down!

FTIQ is getting the most support which is soooo surprising to me! I have an fti and an ft5 and the fti is certainly more forgiving.
