Good lord I want those wedges in the black finish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nstuber3956]

loving the new wedges might have to go buy a couple when they are released

[M TAYLOR]

do the diablo edge woods and hybrids have a hosle like the ft tour fairway?

[hyolee]

I love to try FTiz driver, fw, and diablo forged. These look great. My handycap is 4. I know alot of people think they are pro or something but I tell you what I use the most game improvement clubs and take their money. People always complain that my handycap should be lower. I tell you what most of you think these are ugly and think you are better than you actually are, good, come and play with me. I'll take your money all day, every day.

[titleist90]

Driver looks reaaaaal good

[golfstud]

Ft-9 is nice. The irons are just helping the x-22's hold value. People complain about taylor made always coming out with a new flavor of the month making the old set worthless. Callaway just went out of their way to promote their x-22's. Brilliant!

[Robledo11]

Im sorry but I don't understand how callaway are supposedly the #1 irons in golf, there irons all are so ugly with bulky soles I think callaway focuses too much on forgiveness then focussing on players irons. They have only 2 irons that don't look so bulky and forgiving that is the X-forged and the X-22 tour which sort of look ok.
I don't know if its just me but I think there irons are over-rated and for game improving players. I think there strong points are probably their woods.
Does anyone feel the same?

[Rooni]

You have to remember that the player iron market is so small in the first place, So many of the top OME's are doing as the halow effect to the brand. when you look in the mass of the bags at most golf clubs there is a lot of high handicap players, needing more forgiving clubs.

The X-Protos look pretty good to me ;)

hahaha...really? Not with a 4 handicap you won't.

[gedgem3]

Rooni is spot on. I spend all of May and June sitting on practice tees at clubs in the area and you do realize after the first few, that most golfers are not good and need all the help they can get. I have so many people come and ask for x-22's and Big Bertha irons, yet there may be 1 player at most that are seriously interested in X-Forged. Though I have a hard time looking at bigger irons and wont play them myself, I really do think irons that get the ball in the air and are more forgiving will help the player enjoy the game more. That is why many of us play golf, to enjoy the game.

[Chappie]

With the exception of the FT Tour... not a very inspiring lineup as far as I'm concerned.

[NutmegOfConsolation]

The diablo edge driver looks like a decent replacement for my x460, but I'll not buy it with a name like that. It's looking as though I have to stick with the x460 or get another manufacturer's driver.

[TWshoot67]

I'm like most others here..... I want to hit that FT-9 Tour tour issued of course. I'm glad to see Cally adding the players clubs to their list of production clubs the last few years, because years ago unless you played a Bobby Jones or the Freddy S2H2 fairways the rest looked like shovels to me. I'm happy with the Proto's I'm playing now and the Xforged before that. I hope they continue to make clubs for the lower handicap player! Great Job Cally!!!! OH yeah thanks Roger for making those New wedges they look sweet!

[joecollege]

Good stuff.

Did I hear that the Diablo Forged comes from Endo Japan? This website is crack....lol.

Thanks for the info and for the pics!

FT IZ WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO...where's my credit card

I do understand that, don't get me wrong. Drop to the consumer model and you get a closed face though. They (Callaway) do not offer a single model that is square any longer. They keep cracking the face more and more open (or closed) too. The current FT-9 Tour is 1' open, the new FT is 1.5' open. What's next?

Maybe I'm overreacting? After all, I'm sure the tolerance is +/- at least 1' anyway and I have no major issues with my current FT-9 Tour. Additionally, I'm sure that they did extensive R&D on this model, maybe 1.5' open is the sweet spot? I don't know. I'm still pretty pumped about giving this new driver a try and will try to hold final judgment until hitting it.
[/quote]
I totally understand; factor the 1.5* open and a 10.5* driver is really more like 9.3*....hurts me too! BB

All 2010 FT heads will be available in i-Mix. So, YES!
[/quote]

Not all of them will be. Anything that has a hosel will not be available in i-mix. It's not possible.
[/quote]
so the ft tour wont come in i mix

[dominic713]

To me the FTiz looks a lot like the big ben cs3 with a few minor changes and some new colors. jmo

[SmallvilleCK]

Other than the FT tour the rest is FUGLY!

[rainman88]

Let's start from the most expensive and work down. Tha FT Tour is the EXACT driver on tour now. It is 1.5* open with a high CG position for a more penetrating ball flight. It also HAS A HOSEL. Should retail around $499. For all those Callaway haters, this club is the bomb and you will love it. The next driver, is the FT IZ and FT IZ TOUR. This club is sick. It is much longer (10-15yards) than the FT5 or FT9 with the straightness of the FTI or FTIQ. It also will increase your clubhead speed between 2 and 5 MPH, due to the decrease in the drag coefficient of 460cc heads. It was designed using a wind tunnel. The FT IZ has a closed face and the FT IZ TOUR has an open face. But best yet, it should retail around $399. Lastly, but far from cheaply, is the NEW Diablo EDGE series. Both drivers have titanium heads with the new Aldila Habanero shaft. The standard EDGE has a closed face and is shaped to be approximately the same size from heel to toe as face to rear. The EDGE Tour is smaller than 460cc and has a traditional head design, similar to the Titleist D3.This club really sets up beautifully, like my Titleist D2 but smaller. Will retail for $299. Last years Diablo will also be available and will retail for $199. All the drivers are 45 inches in length, but customization is available.
There will also be new FT fairway woods, Diablo fairway woods and Diablo hybrids.
While I'm at it. The new Diablo EDGE irons come in two versions: cast and forged. The cast has a thick topline, wide sole and moderate offset. They are EXTREMELY LONG and FORGIVING. Diablo hybrids can be substituted for the long irons at no additional cost which should accommadate all golfers needs and help them fly off the shelves. The forged /TOUR version is reminiscent of the X forged of 2006. Forged Carpenter steel face and a forged 1020 steel body. Very similar offset, topline width, and sole width as the X22 tours. They come stock with Nippon Shafts. Both have slightly stronger lofts to compensate for the deep CG positions.
Lastly, the NEW JAWS wedges are awesome. They come in two finishes, Black and Chrome. The have smaller, more rounded heads and are designed like the tour prototype irons. That will raise the CG for better flight control. They also have Mack Daddy grooves, C-grinds, smaller soles and 1 more degree of bounce(compared to the current x forged wedges), and are forged. Roger Cleveland can really design a wedge!!!!!
That's all from Callaway town

[Aces-6]

^^^Thanks Rainman!!! When will we be able to get our hands on the FT Tour driver?

[Eec55]

geez i am sick of colors and medallions on the cally clubs! i love the clubs to death but please make a set of nice irons that are just chrome/black!!!!! those diablos look nice but also look like a stop sign on a shaft!!

[Jimmie48]

Being a callaway fan myself, I am kind of glad they did not go with any gimmicks like weights or wrenches. Seems like everyone these days is cranking around on their clubs on the range(and some being naughty on the course), so it seems nice that callaway would stray away from this tinker toy type of golf. I do think they should keep the i-mix though just because it makes things so easy to try without having to sacrifice the entire club to do so. I would like to have seen the i-mix in a fairway wood as well if possible. I wonder if they will come up with a new forged Proto for Phil, Ernie, and the lot next season?

[caanders]

I love my X-22s but those irons are pretty wicked. The Diablo name sums it up.

[shoey98]

our callaway rep came by the other day with all of these items. The stock shaft for the ft tour is the voodoo. the stock shaft for the diablo edge is the aldila habenero from there new line. They also have the white ice series of putters and a new black series tour designs which is a completely milled all black head with the tungsten weighting.

[keyser]

Nothing new on the callaway balls, the tour i and ix replacements?

[JJGolfPro]

I hit all this stuff this week. Everything performed really well. The FT Tour was surprisingly easier to hit than I thought. The biggest surprise was the FT-iz. That thing was awesome. I never saw a ball jump off the face like it did with that club. The one I hit had a tour clock ferrule on it to open it up. The Diablo irons were very forgiving. The forged ones had great feel and were also pretty forgiving. The Diablo tour driver was the club I was most excited to try, but ended up having the worst performance for me. It looks great, but I just didn't hit it well. The wedges looked great and had a really nice grind on them, but I like the look of the current ones better. Callaway really does have a nice line-up for this coming year.

I was going to say that it all looks like typical Toy Town junk, but after hyolee's assault upon my reasoning and my fitness to pass judgement, I'll perhaps not bother. Off 4 and with that much confidence before we even tee it up, I know when I'm beaten.

Crikey. I've been struck dumb.
