PICS - 2013 Callaway X Hot Driver & FW

[GolfSpy_X]

The images below are counterfeits of the new Callaway X Hot product line:

"SPEED FRAME FACE CUP" - is that just like Speed Pocket or Velocity Slot?

 

People who snap these spyshots need to learn that we don't use that side of the club when we play golf. We need pictures from address

[furu]

And I'm sure someone is going to hate these and say "SPEED FRAME FACE PALM"

[Ice]

Based on recent Callaway trends, I bet there is some sort of design on the crown. THe FT/RAZR line is usually clean and the Diablo / RXB line usually has some sort of design on it.

I don't see what's wrong with making initial judgements based on a picture. I'm happy to change my mind later, but based on these, the sole of these clubs are butt ugly and look like something you get from a $300 starter set. They're right up there with my initial impression of the R1 driver.

Glad to see they're adjustable!

interesting....different....Callaway joining the paint revolution and going white on the crown? I thought they were all about performance over paint.....Looks close to the idea that Cobra has with their new Cell stuff with this face cup....guess we will see when it comes out......

I know wd. It's just frustrating when you read threads on another site where people deeply hate something and behave like idiots. Initial judgement is not what I'm talking about, my problem is when it gets closer to a vendetta.

I'll reserve final judgement until I see pics from address, but I don't think those look terrible. I actually prefer that look to the Rickie Fowleresque green color of the Razr Fit Xtreme. What do we know about these performance wise? A few people have said they're supposed to be hot but that gets said about every driver this time of year.

@CTEagle - They're not just "hot", they're "x hot"

 

Callaway needs a driver and fw that sells well in the RBZ-category. I expect the AMP Cell to be in the same price range, at least here in Norway.

In a couple of years, we may have the XXX Hot.

Man, I disagree with you. I love the looks of these from the bottom. Of course I do t know the top, but I like a lot of design on the bottom as long as the crown is clean, which it very well may not be.

Those woods look like complete junk. Is 2013 going to be the year wear the OEMs compete for the ugliest driver design? So far we have, Taylormade's R1 and RBZ 2, Callaway's new woods, and the Nike Covert (because of the red crown and swoosh on top).

[ron holmes]

they don't look that bad but like its been said would like to see the pictures of the top half,thx for posting

Fairways are not adjustable. Driver only.

Grey on the top, not white.

Gents, these fairways received a non-conforming letter from the USGA as originally submitted. There is a real and discernible technology difference in these that will make them significantly easier to hit off the deck than any other max-COR fairway wood. I've hit them extensively, and even though I vowed to never have a Callaway wood in the bag again, I can definitely see the 15* Pro fairway in the bag come Feb 1. They are astounding, and 100% the best looking club at address that is being released this year.

These look really cheap. It almost looks like they took the X-Hot Costco starter set and added a bit of tech to those clubs. This one doesn't look to stand a chance against RBZ 2.

Thanks for the info GC, I'll definitely give them a look, but it'll be hard to knock out my current gamer.
