Heads up older cally Drivers

Hey Guys,

Im Interested in a few heads:

-x2 hot (and pro)

-XR16 (and pro)

-Big Bertha

-BB Alpha (815 or 816)

-Fusion

Which is the best in distance and forgivness?(for you)

And what SS do you have?

Had Great success this year with my XR16 pro but struggled at the end of the season.

Fusion is pretty danged forgiving and good hits go far (for me). Having said that, I've moved on to the Epic (2nd go around) and absolutely crushing it.

Great Big Bertha.

Man, I thought we were going to talk about OLD Callaway drivers...

The Diablo Edge and Octane Tours were both great heads. Put them on a good shaft and they are going to keep up with anything today - although glued hozels.

From your list, the 2014 Big Bertha is the only one I have swung - and it hit the ball pretty good. I was a general fan of the stock Fubuki shaft in that club as well.

No worries! Just making a "joke" - if you can call it that.

BWAAAHAAAAHAAAAAHAAAA - "older cally drivers"

Try looking up the S2H2 - now, THAT'S older

have hit BB, BB Alpha, BB V series, BB Alpha 815, 816 and XR16 Pro. all in same/similar loft + same/similar shafts.

in my experience:

BB V series (Black head with Newton cartoon (duh!) : top in the forgiveness department

XR16 Pro: top in the distance dept (and overall, stayed in the bag since)

i suspect, tho, my swing had gotten better while testing those over a year. lol.

GBB was the one I hit best out of those. Currently with an epic subzero but it's not much better.

And I've hit all of those except the fusion.

Longest Cally driver that I've hit ever hit was the Razr Fit. Really like that club.

I would probably stick with that XR16. Nothing but great reviews.

shoot, I thought someone wanted pics of my Bobby Jones S2H2.

that was a driver......

compared to an XR16, it looks like a midget , sorry, a miniature.

X2hot all the way!!

I have XR head also, not that different for me than X2hot. Pretty similar but my vote is for X2hot.

Older than those, I love FT5. FT5 seemed to stay in pros bags years after it was released. I think mcdowell won us open with a 3 or 4 year old FT5 driver.

Big Bertha 816 or xr pro. Both absolutely fantastic, just a shade less speed off center compared to the new kids like f8 cobra ping 400 series and rogue.

XR16 or Great Big Bertha both are very good.

816 DBD and XR16 Pro get my vote of best all-time drivers. If you get the gravity core in the correct spot on the 816 it is a cannon! Plus, they both look amazing at address. Truly wish Cally would go back to matte heads as well?

Wasn't a big fan of the XR 16. Sold it in about 60 days. Had the 815 in the bag for several years and liked it. Like the Epic better.

I've had both the 816 dbd & XR pro 16 at the same time so got to test them both with the same shaft. I ended up keeping the dbd, I think having the gravity core set high toe made the difference for me
