Ever wonder which clubs are most popular? Certain clubs stand out - not just for their performance, but because golfers are choosing them again and again. Here’s a look at the top-5 best-sellers in August at GOLFTEC.
5. PING G440 Irons
Why they’re popular: the G440 irons have been getting high praise for blending distance, forgiveness, and a more refined look than many traditional game-improvement irons.
What makes them stand out:
- A face that’s about 9% thinner than previous generations, which helps speed off the face.
- A lower/deeper center of gravity, weight moved low/back to help with launch and forgiveness.
- Looks that appeal both to mid-handicappers craving forgiveness and better plays who care about feel and aesthetics.
Ideal for: Players who want irons that help them hit more consistent shots, especially from difficult lies or less-than perfect strikes, without having wildly oversized clubheads.
4. PING G440 MAX Driver
Why golfers are buying it: The G440 MAX driver is the “forgiving flagship” of the G440 driver line. If you want a driver that’s easier to hit, straighter off the tee, and with excellent forgiveness, this is the one many golfers end up choosing.
What makes it special:
- A longer shaft in the standard configuration for more speed.
- Hotter, thinner face with features that move weight low and back for higher launch and stability.
- Adjusting weighting and hosel that lets you tune loft/lie/launch somewhat, helping fit the driver to more kinds of swings.
Perfect for: Players who often struggle with “fat” drives (low launch, high spin), or those wanting more distance without sacrificing accuracy.
3. Callaway Elyte Driver
What the buzz is about: The Callaway Elyte driver has been getting attention for combining big distance with a powerful sound and appeal off the tee. It tends to draw interest from players looking for both flair and performance.
What to look for:
- Strong ball speed and forgiveness, especially on mis-hits.
- Sound and feel at impact - Callaway tends to make drivers that have a punchy, exciting sound, which many golfers love.
- Fitting matters: the shaft, loft, and how the club sits at the address can make big differences in what you get out of it.
Why it’s popular: Because it's lightweight, fast ball speed, and high launch without sacrificing forgiveness.
2. PING G440 Fairway Woods
Fairway woods are workhorses - they need to perform off the tee and from fairway or rough. The G440 fairway woods are drawing praise for how adjustable, forgiving, and easy to hit they are.
Key strengths:
- Optimized center of gravity and face design for higher launch and more carry.
- Thinner face and other tech borrowed from PING’s driver and iron designs, so you get performance that feels more modern.
- Multiple lofts/options to cover both tee-shots and heavy lies.
Great for: Anyone trying to fill gaps in distance, particularly off the tee or from long fairway / light rough, who wants a club that’s more forgiving than a hybrid or long iron.
1. Vokey SM10 Wedges
Why wedges always win: when you hit good wedges, you take strokes off your score. The Vokey SM10 wedges have long been respected for spin control, feel around the greens, and variety. Being number one of the best-sellers indicates how much value golfers see in their short game.
What sets the SM10 apart:
- Exceptional spin and control on partial wedges or shots around the green, even from tricky lies.
- Good bounce option, which lets golfers customize how the wedge interacts with conditions.
- Excellent feel. Wedges are often about that shot-shape, sound, turf interaction, and SM10 is known to deliver in those regards.
Tip: Your short game can make a big difference in your score.
