In 2009, the USGA implemented a new rule allowing for "adjustable" clubs to be used on the tour. This allowance has led to a flood of new tour drivers that can be adjusted during play. Most other sports had already allowed for in-game adjustments: NASCAR drivers make in-race adjustments, NFL teams make half-time adjustments and now golfers can make in-game adjustments. Many of the top golf drivers for 2010 share the added ability to adjust, individualize and customize clubs in order to improve performance.
The three primary targets for driver performance include accuracy, distance and overall game improvement. The top 8 golf drivers for 2010 include the following options: Adams Speedline, Callaway Diablo Edge, Callaway FT-IZ, Cleveland Launcher DST, Cobra ZL, Mizuno MP 630, TaylorMade R9 and Titleist 909.

The Adams Speedline Fast 10 driver has improved airflow and a deep, low center of gravity (CG) for higher lift and a straighter flight due to the reduction of side spin. This club delivers a great ball speed and drive distance. There is 10% less drag due to the increased head curvature and a larger clubface leading to a larger sweet spot.
Loft degree angle of 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 12.5 Lie degree angle of 58 Head volume of 460 cc Length of 46.125 inches
The Callaway Big Bertha Diablo Edge driver has a standard and tour version with different head face shapes available. This driver has the highest moment of inertia (MOI) and deepest CG in the Callaway family providing great shot forgiveness.
Loft degree angle for standard version of 9, 10, 11 and 13 with tour version of 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 Lie degree angle of 57 Head volume of 460 cc Length of 45.5 and 45 inches
The Callaway FT-IZ driver has both standard and tour drivers with increased stability, consistency and power due to the localized weight of four times as much of the mass on the clubface as opposed to the rear. This provides better ball control with a higher MOI and low CG.

The Cobra ZL - ZL stands for Zero Limits - has an adjustable hosel for changing face angle. The rhombus face insert gives the clubface a powerful striking edge with a traditional rounded head for shaping shots. The Cobra driver has a quietier sound on impact and a higher ball flight trajectory.

The TaylorMade R9 driver is full of the latest golf technology aimed at improving ball flight: a "Flight Control Technology" sleeve for an adjustable head-and-shaft system, "Movable Weight Technology" and "Inverted Cone Technology". The smaller, compact clubhead is ideal for shaping shops.
Loft degree angle of 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 Lie degree angle of 59 Head volume of 418, 420 and 422 cc Length of 45.25 inches
The Titleist 909 driver has three models - D Comp, D2 and D3 - all made of titanium offering an improved sound, solid feel and superior distance. When you know your ball striking tendencies, you can adjust the club settings for optimized ball speed, launch angle and spin.
Loft degree angles of 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 and 11.5 Lie degree angles of 59, 58.5 and 58.5 Head volume of 460 cc Length of 45 inches
There are many new golf drivers on the market this year but the above are the cream of the crop. If you can't find a new stick to launch the ball a mile from these than you may as well pick another sport.
