How different. From what I can gather it’s supposed to be a little higher spin and more forgiving than the non-diamond SZ

I’ve tried the diamond and non diamond. The diamond face feels softer and you can feel the ball bounce off the face. It also doesn’t sound as pinging. However the spin was higher for me compared to non diamond and I didn’t want that. Hence I went with non diamond. Oh and the diamond doesn’t have the curved line on the top of the club.

Not really. It makes perfect sense to me.

[geauxWRX]

Does anyone know what the differences will be from the limited retail triple diamond and the TC version? Has there been any updates on price point and release date?

I don't know if it is a limited option at select fitters/distributors. I saw JD's Clubs on Instagram had a post that he had some. Maybe reach out to him or Will Peoples.

[geauxWRX]

I have seen these same post's and I wonder if that's what was meant by the triple diamond will be released. I am usually not one to think twice about the cost of clubs but the price quotes on the triple diamond head did shock me.

I am not sure what they have been quoting. Was it pretty drastic?

[geauxWRX]

$1500 head only

[gsrjc]

I thought it was $599.

Daaaammnn. Maybe those were actual TC heads.

[geauxWRX]

That is why I asked the question what are the differences between the "limited release" and TC heads.

[Golfer from MO]

Yeah that's TC head price

[t4t3r]

Should be the same price as any other Flash head since it’s supposed to be a retail release.

I'm going to guess they'll be close to udesign prices rather than closer to retail since it's a limited edition custom order only release.

Boom

[Mike Honcho]

Would have been great to know this was coming to retail before I did my custom order through Callaway.

[t4t3r]

Not showing the trade-in bonus on it unfortunately...bummer. Maybe it will get updated soon.

[radiman]

The dot Apex Pro's are also on their site.

I have a 3 diamond SZ green dot head with Fuji VENTUS shaft coming......ordered on the blind.

what are the feedbacks?? lower spin?? hotter face?? muted sound??

I'm doubting the face is hotter for obvious reasons. More forgiving across the face is possible but not hotter

[leftygolfer15]

Thought the 9.5 head was available in lefty? Not listed on Cally’s site. ??‍♂️

Haha total WRX move right here. Let us know what you think. From what I can piece together it seems like it’s more forgiving and higher spin than the non-diamond SZ. Which actually is what I would want!

 

[eldog-in-the-hizouse]

The diamond heads are HIGHER spinning? Isn't that backwards to how they are marketed? I thought they were supposed to be like the TS4, smaller, lower spinning?

The triple diamond was higher spinning for me using the same shaft compared to the epic flash SZ.

[DTown3011]

I hate how cryptic Callaway is in the description of this driver. It would really help to have some real, dedicated facts and differences as opposed to generic marketing speak. I get that it's neutral to fade biased, but an "optimized CG" doesn't mean much. Optimized for who? Also, I get it's a different shape with a higher toe and more face progression - what else? How about some spin comparisons? Launch comparisons? Or REAL side-by-side comparison photos so we can actually discern a difference?

I missed the part where anyone said this was supposed to be like the TS4. Do you have a link?

[J13]

Completely different head than standard SZ. It's more fade bias, flatter lie angle, and slightly higher spin, also it's 450cc with a straight top line.

[Golf4lifer]

Does this remind anyone else of the XR 16 Pro driver?

 

I thought my Rogue SZ was safe, but now, not so much.

I don't know. It looks really stretched out from front to back. Shape wise, it doesn't reminde me of anything like that.

I was hoping that was a product of the image I saw. My wallet and Rogue thanks you.
