Game Improvement Driver

Tommy Armour came back from the dead in 2017 as Golf Galaxy's house brand, and the 2019 Atomic driver was its swing at the big boys. The pitch was simple. Give golfers a full 460cc game improvement head with modern construction at a price well under what TaylorMade and Callaway were charging that year, and skip the adjustability hardware that most weekend players never touch anyway.

That last part matters more than you might think. A fixed hosel means the loft you buy is the loft you play, no wrench, no sleeve, no fiddling on the range. It also means less mass wasted on an adjustment mechanism, which is one reason budget drivers like this one can still feel solid at impact. The Atomic is not trying to win a tour count. It is trying to get a 15 handicap off the tee without drama, and judged on those terms it holds up.

You will not find it on shelves anymore except secondhand, which is honestly where it makes the most sense in 2026. As a used buy, the Atomic sits in that zone where the price is low enough that you are mostly paying for a fresh grip.

• Mid to high handicappers who want a full size forgiving head without paying flagship prices, especially on the used market.
• Players with moderate swing speeds who need help getting the ball airborne and are happy playing one fixed loft.
• Anyone replacing a driver from the early 2010s who wants a real forgiveness upgrade but cannot justify four hundred dollars for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Tommy Armour Atomic driver adjustable?

No. The 2019 Atomic has a fixed hosel, so you choose your loft at purchase and that is what you play. If you like tinkering with loft and lie settings this is not your club, but if you get fit for the right loft up front you will never miss the wrench.

Is the Atomic driver forgiving enough for a high handicapper?

Yes. It is a 460cc game improvement head with weight pushed low and back, which is the recipe for stability on off center hits. It will not rescue a huge slice by itself, but mishits fly straighter and lose less distance than they would with a smaller, more traditional head.

Who actually makes Tommy Armour clubs?

Tommy Armour is owned by Dick's Sporting Goods, which relaunched the brand in 2017 and sells it through Dick's and Golf Galaxy stores. The clubs are designed as house brand equipment, which is how the Atomic undercut the major manufacturers on price when it launched.

Is the Tommy Armour Atomic driver still worth buying in 2026?

As a used club, yes, with caveats. Driver technology has moved on since 2019, so you give up some ball speed protection compared to current flagships. But at typical secondhand prices the Atomic is one of the cheaper routes to a forgiving 460cc head, and for a casual golfer the on course difference is smaller than the price gap suggests.

What shaft options came with the Atomic driver?

The stock offering was a lightweight graphite shaft in standard flexes, aimed at helping average swing speeds launch the ball higher. Since the hosel is fixed, buying used means checking the shaft flex and loft carefully, because you cannot change either without a rebuild.
