It’s release season which means it’s also price-drop season. If you held out all of 2024 to get your hands on new equipment, now is the perfect time to take advantage of price reductions. Some of these clubs have limited quantities but the price drops are worth taking advantage of if you can find a match for your game. We looked at some clubs that performed the best in our 2024 testing and how their price has changed in the last few weeks/months. We also pulled some of the best deals we could find across all categories.
Driver price drops
The chart below gives you the top five drivers of 2024 according to our Most Wanted testing. The PING G430 MAX 10K has not dropped in price yet but everything else is $100 or more off. The Callaway Ai Smoke Triple Diamond is a low-spin model with great distance and accuracy performance. It finished second overall in our testing.
The Callaway Ai Smoke Max D is the best driver for distance and it can help straighten out a slice if needed. The Stealth 2+ from TaylorMade performed well in 2023 and was included in the 2024 test. Although finding one that fits the loft/shaft specifications you may need is getting harder, the price is right if you’re lucky enough to find the right one.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| PING G430 MAX 10K | $599 | $599 | $0 | Price remains steady due to high demand. |
| Callaway Ai Smoke Triple Diamond | $599 | $499 | $100 | Exceptional for low-spin, high-speed performance. |
