Callaway Golf has been a leader in the game improvement segment for years, so it’s no surprise that they’ve been a big player in the booming hybrid market. The company’s Heavenwood stormed the golfing world a few years ago and were then extremely popular discount golf clubs with many of the golf consumers. The X Hybrid is Callaway’s newest stainless steel hybrid and the company hopes it can pick up where the Heavenwood left off.
The Callaway X Hybrid is an advanced stainless steel design that takes technology and a design element utilized in the X Series drivers and fairway woods and incorporates them in a new performance hybrid. Among the technology and design advances utilized in the Callaway X Hybrid is a modified X-Sole(TM) design for the enhanced versatility required of a hybrid club and improved turf interaction from virtually any lie. The X-Sole design also lowers the leading edge, making it easier to get the ball airborne quickly. Also essential to the performance of the Callaway X Hybrids is increased perimeter weighting and an optimized centre of gravity, which combine to boost the moment of inertia for greater stability and better trajectory control.
Essential and patented core technologies that have been hallmarks of Callaway Golf clubs for years are built into the Callaway X Hybrid, including Variable Face Thickness (VFT) Technology, which maximizes perimeter weighting for more forgiveness and increases ball speed off the face for greater distance; S2H2 (short straight, hollow hosel), which helps to further increase discretionary weight by removing weight from the hosel; and Tru-Bore bore-through technology, which extends the shaft through the head to the bottom of the sole for improved feel and clubhead control.
The Callaway X Hybrid is noticeably larger than many other hybrids on the market. Some feel that a larger club helps with confidence while others prefer a slightly more compact look. The overall cosmetics are pleasing and the unique is quite eye-catching. And the price is not a thing to worry about, because they are not the latest and have been put among those discount golf clubs in many golf stores. But X Hybrid is still a great club to hit with.
