So, the 8.5° head has a neutral CG that fits fast-swinging players. To match the X Hot to the player, the centre of gravity shifts with loft. That face is welded to a titanium body which is made with a new “thin-walled” casting process that keeps weight down, so the X Hot is the lightest all-titanium driver Callaway has ever made. The face of the 460cc, silver and black head is thinner around the edges and thicker in the centre. The driver takes its 'behind the ball' looks from the Big Bertha – with some big innovations. It also retains the OptiFit hosel that gives one of three address positions: open, neutral or closed. After lengthy custom-fitting research, Callaway has also tried to synchronise club with player by moving the centre of gravity depending on the loft. The range is the next in the X series.ĭr Alan Hocknell, Callaway’s senior vice president of R&D, says the driver is the lightest ever all-titanium Callaway model. The range consists of two different sets throughout – the X Hot clubs are aimed at the game-improver, while the X Hot Pros have been designed to offer slightly more finesse and feel to the stronger golfer. Old vs New Driver Review: Rogue vs XR 16 vs X Hot vs RAZR FitĬallaway's new X-Hot woods and irons have been engineered to offer more distance at an affordable price.
Chris and Graeme struggled to get the distance other drivers were achieving while a feeling of toe up combined with the draw bias didn’t add confidence. Joel enjoyed both the compact look of the Tour version and the feeling of compression he was getting at impact while Kit was really impressed with the penetrating flight outdoors his dispersion was also just four yards. The testers returned mixed reviews on the matt grey finish.

Rogue has the largest triaxial carbon crown of any Callaway driver ever.īoeing and Callaway collaborated to develop the Speed Step technology used in past Callaway metalwoods. We’ve redistributed that weight into the head’s perimeter to significantly increase MOI and forgiveness, which helps preserve distance and direction on off-center hits.
Our proprietary triaxial carbon composite is extraordinarily light and strong, saving substantial weight.
