Fan Essentials: Best Driver Ever

Who hit the ball hardest off of the tee? Who could precisely shape their drives from side to side while also controlling its trajectory? Who could routinely put the ball on the fairway and in play when it mattered?

As Peter Kostis, on-course reporter for CBS Sports, put it, "all the superstars of each generation separated themselves from their fellow competitors with the driver."

But only a select few separated themselves from those superstars and can be considered the best driver ever.

We asked CBS Sports golf analysts and personalities Amanda Balionis, Dottie Pepper, Gary McCord, Ian Baker-Finch, Jim Nantz, and Peter Kostis who they think the best driver ever is. Check out the video above for their answers.

Tune in for CBS Sports' coverage of the Wells Fargo Championship, live from Quail Hollow Club, Saturday, May 5 and Sunday, May 6, 3:00 - 6:00 pm ET.
