Non-conforming Driver List

The following list includes the details of all of the drivers known to us which have, at some time, been in the marketplace and which do not conform to the Appendix II, 4c of the 2008 edition of the Rules of Golf for 'spring-effect'.

There may be other clubs in the marketplace which have been ruled non-conforming for another reason, but those clubs are currently not included on this List. The List is updated every Monday and clubs appear in alphabetical order by manufacturer.

When using this List, close attention should be paid to the "Markings" column. This column details the exact markings on each clubhead listed and this is the information needed to identify the club in question or each model of club, as distinguishable from another.

Please be aware that there may be only subtle differences between the markings on two different models of driver - one of which could be conforming and one of which could become non-conforming in 2008. If all of the markings of a club on the List do not match exactly to a clubhead that is in question, it is likely that it is a different model and you should check the Conforming Driver Head List. If you have a query regarding the conformance status of any club, please contact The R&A for assistance.

An image of each model of driver included on this List is available by clicking the 'View Photo' link. For models with multiple lofts, only one loft will appear in the image. For those models which have both a conforming and a 2008 non-conforming version, the image will include a photograph of both versions, highlighting the differences in the markings.
