MmmmmmBuddy Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 In recent years, Callaway has made some really REALLY bad product. Recycled iron designs, terrible sounding and performing drivers, and boring putters. But THIS year, something changed. The Clubs for 2010 are AMAZING. Even the Diablo Edge Tour driver, with its Jersey Shore Tattoo is Outstanding. Whoever is running the show down there gets KUDOS from me!!!! Way to GO!!

jamo Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 2010 is a good year for golf club. Of course, 2 years from now everyone will be saying, "I have to get rid of my iz, the new Callaway Iawesome is out!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slanger Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I've been pretty callaway faithful woods and wedge wise, and this new line totally justifies it. I'm excited for these new woods. don't know if i comestically like the jaws though... x -tour and x forged do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted2Golf Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Meh. I've never bagged anything Callaway and I'm not even sure why.

mcbush25 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think that Callaway did lack in certain aspects with last years line. Although the FT-9 was a dang solid driver and was probably the cream of the crop of their products last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper12 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think callaway has the strongest top to bottom line up they have ever had. They are one of the few OEMs I could play a full bag from top to bottom and be happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MmmmmmBuddy Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 The IZ may look like a High School Geometry project gone wrong, but the thing flat works. Sounds like a golf club. flight is nice and flat (providing you get the correct shaft), and ball speeds are really high. I like it a lot.

jarnol18 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 kind of hoped that Callaway would have came out with a 2010 version of the X-Forged or a revamp of the X-Prototypes (even though they look amazing). the Diablo Edge Forged sets up nice, but the graphics in the cavity are a little bold.

JohnBarry Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 2010 does appear to be a fresh year, not recycled Tech, fresh ideas and sold products. I don't need a new set of Irons, but man, i want to go hit a bunch of new ones and be talked into it.

JLasvegas Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Well lets see my current set up includes the following FT Tour 9.5 with fuji motore speeder f1 X DIablo tour 15 with accuflex tour prototype v2 x diablo tour rescues 18/21 with nvs 105x and Cally prototype blades with project x 6.5 and x tour wedges with project x6.5 odyssey black tour #9 but waiting for my 2 ball black tour milled this is by far the best line up I have seen from Callaway and the best bag set up I have had in a long long time.

Rounders Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 The IZ may look like a High School Geometry project gone wrong, but the thing flat works. Sounds like a golf club. flight is nice and flat (providing you get the correct shaft), and ball speeds are really high. I like it a lot. I agree I didn't like the looks of the IZ when it came out, not only that but I wasn't impressed when Callaway decided to ditch square technology. The IZ is awesome, it sounds good and feels great. I don't know how well its gonna be received though, Titleist rocked a triangle driver and it flopped, so it will be interesting to see the buzz about the IZ Fairways and Greens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you there. The tribal tattoo thing seems to have gone by a few years ago. I like that they are making it look interesting though. What to use instead, who knows.
