whats the point? COR is at its limit. Im a club hoe and can tell you through experience that the Newest fitted very rarely if ever beats a previous years .newest when fitted. Its just wasting money as all that really changes is cosmetics
[/quote]

It's difficult to beat a properly fitted driver from the last few years in regards to good shots. But the OEM'S can improve the numbers on miss hits and as you mentioned feel/appearance.

[BirdieBob]

When will we see some photos and info. on the RFX FWs?
And how do they compare to the X-Hot FW?

The web and marketing groups aren't in concert with the engineering group. The end effect of that breakdown is that serious golfers don't think Callaway is as serious as they might be. Add in the NV-S shaft from last year.... (on their flagship product?)
[/quote]

Well that's a LOT different this year. I can tell you first hand that Harry and Doc Hock (and Evan) are well connected and in tune with each other. This isn't last years Callaway. That much I can assure you. BIG differences abound.

And if this is true I applaud them…and I'm on-board.

Much as I like Callaway drivers I cant see any compelling reason to choose the Extreme over last years Fit. Maybe the new Trinity shaft will be better than the horrible Ripd NV , but they still have same limited adjust-ability of last year. Other than a newer and uglier paint job the head looks almost the same as last year. The only real changes are in the lower lofts where Callaway traded a bit of forgiveness for ballspeed.

I would have much preferred to see loft -face angle be adjustable independent of each other and lie adjustment.
[/quote]

Well I can tell you that once you see the RFE and hit it, you'll want one. 500 less from the FIT, really beautiful profile and just as forgiving.
[/quote]

This may seem a bit petty on my part but that's one more thing Callaway doesn't understand that makes me scratch my head. They post a million photos on their website of the clubs graphics and arbitrary strange artistic angles. But not the most important angle to serious golfers; the address view. They don't come off as a player's club company anymore - they show off how "bedazzled" their clubs are like TMAG. They might as well superimpose it flying through outer space shooting lasers.

Take a page out of Titleist's book. Show the address view. Take a page out of Mizuno's playbook; talk seriously talk about the engineering, not Lamborghini race cars. Put Doc Hoc front and center.

I'll still give it a whirl to see if it's possibly as good as the FT-TA.
[/quote]

It's good feedback. We are working to get up an address view on the site. I believe we had some address views when we did tweet to unleash, we just didn't get them up yet (which is a whiff). We'll fix it.

As for the tech packages on the site as well, we have a ton of stuff we are going to be adding in the next ten days. We weren't initially planning on pre selling this driver on callawaygolf.com but were asked to by a lot of consumers so we did. Just a little late on all the content. Mea culpa.

MAN this driver is a freaking CANNON. Every round I play with it, I gain more and more confidence. No joke.

Played today and had a tremendous round driving the ball. It's incredibly forgiving. I'll say this. On my mishits, I was 5 yards further than my buddies, and on my pure strikes I was 25 yards further. It was crazy. All of my buddies love the look too. It really has dropped the spin rate for me. I was playing a HEX Black Tour and it's stupid long.

Shots closer to the toe come back on a nice draw. And closer to the heel give a decent fade that loses maybe 10 or so yards. Total confidence inspiring. Damn!! This driver is legit!!

Does anyone know if the fairway woods in the extreme range are 1* open in the S setting the same as the XHP is? The website only has them listed as adjustable. Thanks Guys.

Mine looks about .5* open at address, maybe a hair more. I wouldn't call it 1*. I will take a picture tonight when I get home from work for you.

[/quote]

I haven't hit the X-Hot FW but have hit the RFX 4 wood. The head is a huge improvement over last year, which was one of my favorite three woods ever. The RFX launches lower with very low spin, and I will play the 4 wood over the 3 because of this. Not a fan of the Trinity shaft....felt like a noodle to me. Will try it with the black tie or order one with V2 85.

I have to agree. The RFX looks much better. Dangit and I wanted to hold off and stay with the FIT this year since I got it in late october.

Sorry, I feel your pain. The Xtreme clearly looks like more of a player's club, while in comparison, the Razr Fit has the 460cc game improvement club look to it. I didn't notice this until seeing them side by side.

By the way, I just bought a TA Fit double cog adaptor on eBay. They are expensive ($50), but available if you want one.

I have a DI-6s that I will test out next and let you know how it feels. I liked that shaft a lot, just found more yards with the new Project Xv.

[notlonuf]

And from the looks of that comparison pic the old double cog adapter will work in the RFE.

The adapters, both single and double cog, will work in the Razr Fit Xtreme. Nice that you can carry over a shaft from your 2012 Razr Fit to the new model. I have quite a few I will enjoy trading out depending on my mood!

This is a good move on Callaway.

[redraider1685]

does it seem like more of the callaway tour players are picking up the x-hot pro driver over the RFE

I know els and mickelson will likely go with the RFE but the x-hot seems to be the majority

I didn't personally. I did not ha e good success with that shaft in the 910 head, so unfortunately I did not hit it. Although others may have. I hit it with the 7M3, the Motore Speeder Tour Spec 6.2 and 6.3, the TP6HD, the Radix 7, an Ahina 60, the Fubuki Alpha 60 and 70, the Diamana Whiteboard 73, the Motore Speeder 6.0 and the VTS Silver. Damn. No wonder I had time for little else. I was too busy chasing shafts!! LOL

Motore Speeder Tour Spec 6.3x. Less tip stiff than the 6.2.

[J13]

No problem on the pic guys glad it helped you get an idea of HOW different it actually is. Crazy when you see them side by side. And the RFX is a LOW SPIN LOW LAUNCH BEAST. Be prepared when ordering.

FYI I'm comparing these 3 shafts this week and will declare a winner
Speeder Tour Spec 7.2X
Graphite Design Tour AD DI 7x
Graphite Design Tour AD BB 7x

Hey, it it was worth a shot... LOL.

Everything looks so good that I'm tempted to go pay for a CPC fitting so I can try all three driver heads, and FWs too. Might be a wiser investment than buying them all. Then again, they will start appearing on the BST in a matter of time...

Great minds think alike!!! Although I'm more inclined to the X HOT. Matt was playing that and KILLED it straight.

Plus I'll never forget Zak's comment to HIP "did you see my ballflight?? No why would I want to switch?" Classic!!

[watermagnet329]

Like many of you was not dreaming of buying another driver but the low spin with the older school/modern players look! Ouch. I bought a Razr Fit last year. It was ok. Then put a GD Tour AD DI6x in it. Wow. An incredible shaft. I started to play golf differently than i ever had. Got an RBZ Tour three wood and went on the launch monitor from 255 with an xcg4 to about 285. I might have had a lot of ss but i had been hitting head/shaft combos that were around 4000 rpm's! Sounds improbable but radical spin change. My ss is around 112 with a driver and went to an x flex and that alone was 600 rpm's. I have hit quite a few shafts and it is no wonder you see the orange shaft on every tour all over the world. For those struggling with spin go up a flex. Might work. With some equip changes now around 2700 and never hit it this far, i am almost 50 and the golf course never lookd so short. Anyway the Extreme does not have the crazy fancy paint like many do but if they made the Razr Fit better by lowering spin and more forgiveness than I am a buyer. Would love to hear more about launch and spin characteristics of stock shafts. Don't know why they stick with such a primitive three way adjustment sleeve with large adjustments between indents? Archaic in comparison to the Other adjustables. I don't really care about the endless adjustments but would like to be able to fine tune face angle better. Does anyone have any real numbers from the club or shafts?
