Dustin Johnson had a dream 2020 season where he won multiple trophies. He is known for his accuracy with the driver. In the 2020 season, his off the tee record is phenomenal. But to enhance his driving, he is always looking for newer clubs. So along with his technique, the equipment deserves a bit of credit as well. So what driver does Dustin Johnson use?

Dustin has gained +0.63 strokes off the tee and this has been one of his strengths this year. DJ has a partnership with the leading golf manufacturing company Taylormade. Johnson replaced his old Taylormade SIM driver, which he used to dissect the Augusta National during the Masters win.

Dustin Johnson got a new driver for the 2021 season

Johnson is currently using a Taylormade SIM2 driver in his bag for the 2020-21 PGA Tour season. He initially revealed it at the tournament of champions in Hawaii, the first event for Dustin Johnson in 2021. He has opted for a 10.5 degree of loft with a Fujikura speeder 661 shaft.

The idea behind the latest Taylormade SIM2 driver was to improve aerodynamics and at the same time providing a deep and lower center of gravity and more stability. Additionally, a carbon composite layer covers the entire sole. The driver also features a slot towards the front of the sole called a speed pocket.
