I bought a Callaway X460 and absolutely killed it all last summer. It's so easy to hit, and my misses were easily 35-40% closer to a pure hit than before. Best driver I've ever had, and it was only $200 on ebay last spring. Might be even cheaper now. I suppose if you keep growing or whatever, you could have a new shaft put in to fit you. Good luck.

At 13 you are not an experienced golfer (even if you started playing the day you could stand up). You probably have quite a bit of growing to do so unless you are going to play serious national amateur events I wouldn't recommend spending a ton on a top brand driver right now because in another 5 years or so when your body has changed you may very well need something different to be most effective.

Drive fro show and putt for dough! With so many drivers on the market its like a candy store for all golfers. Just because a club has a high powered name does not translate into hitting the ball down the fairway. You can get an inexpensive driver and do well. It takes practice. You are thirteen in just two years or so from now you will change dramatically physically and your club needs will change too. Work on short game first, then you'll make the high schol team if want too. Enjoy the game!

depends on your swing speed and contact.
I'd suggest going to a pro-shop and getting your swing clocked. Any pro-shop can point you in the right direction.
Also note that at 13, you may not want to spend 300 on a single club you may grow out of. Just be careful.

Like most 13 yr olds you are infatuated with brands. The best driver for you is the one you hit the best. Brand has no relevance.
