If you’re looking for perhaps the biggest shocker of this year’s test, look know further than the Titleist 913 Driver. When you consider that Titliest is a brand that’s basically built a reputation for being almost exclusively for elite players, it’s pretty amazing that their latest driver would be prove to be the most accurate among all clubs in the test.
While the 913 lagged slightly behind Callaway’s Xhot when it comes to proximity to the target line, our testers hit more fairways with the 913 than any other driver in the test.
Callaway’s XHot once again inserted itself into the conversation leading the field in truaccuracy, and finishing a respectable 6th overall for fairways hit.
Rounding out the top 5, Cleveland’s Classic XL produced the 2nd highest fairway percentage.

Results by Swing Speed
For those who want to drill down a bit further to get an idea how the top drivers performed for a distinct set of testers, we split players into two groups (by swing speed), and recalculated the scores for all the clubs in our test:
For the higher swing speed player looking for more accuracy, our test found 3 standout performers. Titleist’s 913 once again led the pack producing the 3rd highest truAccuracy score, and by far the highest fairway percentage in the group (relatively speaking). Titleist? Easy to hit straight? Yeah…that’s happening people.
Securing the #2 spot, Callaway’s XHot produced the #1 truAccuracy score for the group, and finished a respectable 4th for fairway percentage.
Just as it did for the entire group, Cobra’s AMP Cell proved to be extremely accurate for our higher swing speed players. It’s truAccuracy score of 84.73 was 2nd best among the 100 MPH and over crowd. Combined with a well above average global fairway percentage, it easily made the top 3 and nearly surpassed XHot. We should also mention it comes in blue.
Closing out the top 5 are (once again) the Cleveland Classic XL, and the PING Anser, which cracks the top 5 for the first time.
