Which disc is a driver?

There are a couple of different types of drivers:

DISTANCE DRIVERS

Distance Drivers, as their name suggests, have the greatest potential to travel the greatest distance. However, they also require the greatest speed to travel true to their intended flight characteristics. Distance drivers have wider rims and sharper noses, so they might not be the best choice for younger players, newer players, or players with slower arm speeds.

FAIRWAY DRIVERS

Fairway Drivers have slightly smaller rims than distance drivers and are easier to control because they have less speed potential. While fairway drivers have less distance potential, they are a great choice for tighter lines, shots with less skip at the end, straighter flights, and shorter drives. Fairway drivers are generally a good choice for experienced and inexperienced players alike.
