Callaway X Hot Fairway Wood
Callaway X Hot Fairway Wood - RH Graphite
I really wonder why we’re still calling these things fairway woods. These things now are about as far from a piece of carved persimmon as you can get.
The base material in the Callaway X Hot is 455 Carpenter Steel, a terrific steel alloy that is lighter and stronger than other types. With this, the designers at Callaway were able to increase the head volume, thus increasing the all-important moment of inertia. The steel also produces increased ball speed as it rebounds off the clubface.
For this club, Callaway has applied the X-Sole design from their X series drivers. The clubhead rests on two sole areas, reducing the tendency of the head to rock and keeping it on line from the start. Callaway’s S2H2 design removes weight from the hosel and repositioning it in the clubhead’s perimeter, further increasing the moment of intertia. Finally, the Callaway bore is designed to increase feel and control
Not your grandfather’s fairway wood.

With a giftcard from Christmas, I purchased a 3-Hot from Callaway Preowned and I love it. I am hitting some great shots off the tee, 40-50 yards further than I was hitting my previous 3W (a Great Big Bertha). I was slow to move off the Great Big Bertha because I really loved the warbird sole, and I was a little concerned about how I would hit a flatter bottom fairway wood off especially on hard flat ground—but that is all it is right now and it is just great.
I also went from a Great Big Bertha 5W to a X-Hybrid 2, and that was a good move as well. Slight distance gain, but much more consistent with the hybrid than I was with the 5W.

Thanks for the info. This is going to be my next big purchase.
Heard this is the best all around fairway wood.
