The standard X Hot driver became available as of January 25, while a Pro version with a slightly smaller club head and more open face angles will be released in mid-February. In addition, the X Hot features an adjustable OptiFit hosel, which enables golfers to adjust the face angle into Open, Square and Closed positions.

A draw bias progression based on loft is also included, allowing players to better tune their clubs. Hocknell then goes on to describe how Callaway has implemented its thinnest casting technology ever in the all-titanium, 460cc heads of the X Hot, to create a lighter swing weight and overall configuration, so that it benefits players with average swing speeds, as well as those with ones much faster. “We went to great lengths to configure the drivers not only to promote distance but also to progressively optimize performance for various player types,” he said. Alan Hocknell, senior vice president of research and development at Callaway, the fast face is but one piece of the technology puzzle. And a tighter curvature face relative to the previous generation RAZR X Black driver is geared to provide a more preferred look at address along with consistent sidespin and dispersion to promote accuracy.Īccording to Dr. The club is also made to promote more – and more consistent – distance, even on off-center hits. The story of the X Hot begins with “Frame Face Technology,” which is designed to increase ball speed, save weight and optimize stiffness and stress distribution across the clubface for more efficient energy transfer. Callaway officials no doubt hope to recapture some of that former greatness with the introduction of the X Hot driver. But its driver legacy remained a strong if somewhat distant memory. Things changed over the years, however, as the club maker focused more intently on other categories, such as irons and golf balls. In its early years, Callaway was best known for its high-performance drivers, especially the Big Bertha and Great Big Bertha products.
