“One of the best-looking Callaway drivers in a long time.”
“Very consistent and one of the longest clubs I’ve tested to date.”
“Hot off the face and a sleeper pick in the driver category. I’d label it as slightly draw-biased and one of the best drivers.”
“Feedback across the face is great. It lets you know where you hit it.”
“First Callaway driver I’ve liked in some time. I was pleasantly surprised.”
“Stellar balance, very workable and the distance is there. It also sits great despite being a draw-biased driver.”
