The driver also features the R.MOTO face technology which is responsible for a more efficient transfer of energy. The Callaway XR driver has the stock project X LZ shaft, which increases the downswing load and results in higher energy transfer. “And what do you get from our fastest, thinnest all-titanium driver ever? Just faster ball speeds, a much larger sweet spot and more forgiveness to make it even longer.”Ĭontact Callaway Golf on 1800 217 777 or visit the feature we’re going to learn to utilize today is the OptiFit adjustability hosel that can be configured in 8 different ways. So for those guys, drives are going to go a long, long way wherever they hit it on the clubface. We know you don’t hit it there, but the other guys do – 65 percent of the time. “We changed everything to give you more ball speed on shots hit on the centre of the face and on off-centre shots as well. “The Callaway R&D team has optimised the face pattern in the X2 Hot to perform in places where higher handicappers most frequently miss the centre – low on the heel and high on the toe – making the face hotter in a greater overall area. Now in a slightly darker colour, the new X2 Hot features a new Hyper Speed face and the Advanced OptiFit Hosel (the same one found on the OptiForce driver), making it easy to adjust both loft and directional bias. All three clubhead shapes are available in 9°, 10.5° and 13.5° models, with each adjustable one degree lower or two degrees higher.ĬALLAWAY SAYS: “The X2 Hot driver makes off-centre hits behave like centre hits. LOFTS: The X2 Hot comes in three distinctly shaped clubheads, all of them 460cc. SHAFT: The Aldila Tour Green Shaft – a Tour-grade, after-market shaft that has an approximate after-market value of $299 in Australia – comes standard in the new X2 Hot driver.

Also available for better players is the X2 Hot Pro, a 440cc 8.5° model (plus adjustability) with no crown graphics. NEW FACES: The X2 Hot features a revised Hyper Speed face on what is Callaway’s fastest, thinnest all-titanium driver. The Advanced OptiFit Hosel was set to add a degree of loft (to 10°) with the lie angle setting kept neutral. MODEL AND SHAFT PLAYED: Callaway X2 Hot driver fitted with a stiff-flex graphite shaft. I just put my inconsistency with it down to the shaft. The clubface is hot but I’d like to have my shaft in the X2 Hot and make the comparison.Įvery good hit felt fine – good for contact, accuracy, trajectory and length. However, I battled with that shaft to get my transition right and find a solid impact position. When I did that and achieved a good impact position the length and flight were fine. When I ‘caught’ it and put a good swing on it, the ball just sailed – it was really long. VERDICT: The feel off the clubface of the X2 Hot is very solid and strong.

The adjustability is good to have, although you might need more time than I’ve got with this club to work out your ideal combination of settings. It sets up at address well but I suspect the shaft is a little whippier than I am used to. FORGIVING HEADS: An improved clubhead shape and construction generates faster ball speed on drives struck in the sweet spot and outside it.įIRST IMPRESSIONS: I love the look and feel of the driver – especially the grey colouring, the crown shape and the markings around the outside to help promote good alignment.
