If your miss is a slice—and no matter how much you “try to swing left,” the ball still peels off to the right—you’re not alone. That’s exactly why draw-biased drivers exist. These clubs are built to help golfers square the face more easily, shift launch direction left, and turn that frustrating fade into a playable (or even pretty) draw.

For 2026, manufacturers have leaned hard into anti-slice technology. While there are still excellent draw-friendly drivers carrying over from previous years, this list focuses strictly on new releases from this season. The three drivers below stand out as the most draw-biased options you can buy right now.

Before we dive into each model, let’s break down why these drivers work.

What Makes a Driver Draw-Biased?

Across all three drivers, you'll see the same core design themes:

  • More upright lie angles, which help the face aim left at address
  • Heel-side center of gravity placement, making it easier to close the face
  • Hosel adjustability, allowing loft, lie, and face angle tweaks to further fight a slice

Now, let's get into the top three.

1. TaylorMade Qi4D

TaylorMade’s Qi4D model earns its spot thanks to a rare combination of forgiveness and strong draw bias. This driver features a composite body and face, paired with TaylorMade’s four-weight trajectory adjustment system—a bit of a throwback to the old R7 days.

Inside the head are two 9-gram weights and two 4-gram weights. When the heavier weights are positioned in the forward and rear heel locations, the center of gravity shifts roughly 3 mm into the heel. That might not sound like much, but it’s enough to meaningfully influence face closure through impact.

What really sets the Qi4D apart is forgiveness. With an MOI around 5,200, it’s far more stable than most draw-biased drivers. That means off-center hits still retain ball speed and direction, which is huge for golfers who miss it on the toe or heel.

Why it works: The Qi4D is ideal if you want slice help without giving up stability. It's forgiving, adjustable, and confidently draw-biased without feeling extreme.

2. Callaway Quantum Max D

Callaway’s Quantum Max D takes a more internal, fixed-weight approach—but the results are impressive. This driver pairs a composite body with a titanium face and Callaway’s new Triforce face construction, which uses internal polymer and composite materials to maintain ball speed across a wider area of the face.

Unlike the Qi4D, the Quantum Max D doesn’t rely on movable weights. Instead, Callaway places a fixed internal mass deep in the heel, shifting the center of gravity nearly 4 mm toward the heel. Add in hosel adjustability to make the club more upright, and you’ve got a serious anti-slice setup.

Why it works: The Quantum Max D delivers consistent left-help with strong ball speed retention, making it a great option for players who want simple, reliable slice correction.

3. Cobra OPTM Max-D

If you’re fighting a stubborn slice and want the most draw-biased driver available in 2026, this is it. The Cobra OPTM Max D features an 11-gram fixed heel weight, with no additional weight ports to dilute the effect.

That single design choice pushes the center of gravity a full 5 mm into the heel—the most aggressive CG shift of any driver this year. Pair that with Cobra’s FutureFit33 adapter, which allows for extremely upright lie settings, and you’ve got a driver that practically wants to start the ball left before you even swing it.

At address, the face visibly sits slightly closed, reinforcing confidence for players who typically see the ball leak right.

Why it works: This driver pulls every lever possible to fight a slice. If you want maximum draw bias with zero guesswork, the OPTM Max D is the clear winner.
