Callaway’s X Fairway Wood was an Editor’s Choice in Golf Digest’s 2006 Hot List.

The 3 piece stainless steel heads features an “ X Sole Design”, with two keels in the sole that are supposed to contact the turf to align the face (not nearly as pronounced as the LaJolla Knife, though). The Variable Face Thickness technology is said to allow Callaway Golf designers to adjust the face thickness, which they say maximizes ball speed and perimeter weighting.

And, of course, the club features Callaway Golf’s bore through construction which extends the shaft completely through the clubhead to the sole. (This, by the way, is a complete pain in the rear end for those of us who do club repair.)

X Fairway Woods come in 3-, 4-, 5-, 7- and 9-wood models as well as Tour 13-degree and Tour 15-degree models that have slightly smaller heads and stronger lofts for the lower, more boring ball flight preferred by more skilled players.

The new Callaway Golf X Fairway Woods feature a Fujikura graphite shaft in Light, Regular and Stiff flexes as well as a uniflex True Temper(R) steel shaft. The Tour 13-degree and Tour 15-degree models feature the same Fujikura(R) graphite shafts but with the Light option removed and an Extra Stiff version added. They are also available with the True Temper uniflex shaft. Left-handed models are available in the 3-, 5- and 7-woods.

CALLAWAY X Fairway Wood w/Graphite Shaft

Callaway’s latest application of its “Fusion” technology is the Fusion FT-Hybrid.  Like the others in the series, it uses a carbon composite crown to lighten the club, allowing Callaway to move more weight down and back, and to the perimeters. The helps gofers get their balls in the air, and reduces twisting with a high moment of inertia.

It’ll be available March 15 in five models: 1H (14 degrees), 2H (17 degrees), 3H (20 degrees), 4H (23 degrees) and 5H (26 degrees); all but the 1H will be available in left-handed versions as well. The Draw bias will be available in the 2H-5H in both left- and right-handed versions, while the Neutral configuration will be available in the 1H-4H right-handed and the 3H left-handed. The standard shaft is the Callaway Golf Fusion NVS 85 Hybrid from Aldila®, available in Light, Regular and Firm flexes. The stock steel shaft is the True Temper® Uniflex.

Callaway has added to it’s line of graphite topped clubs with the Big Bertha Fusion Fairway Wood.

The club’s steel face and sole combine with the carbon composite top to keep the center of gravity low and back. The result, Callaway says, is the ability to hit a ball with a penetrating flight from almost any lie. Fusion Fairway Woods include patented Callaway Golf technologies, including Variable Face Thickness (VFT(R)), Short Straight Hollow Hosel (S2H2(R)) and Tru-Bore(R), all of which are important in optimizing feel and ball flight while increasing forgiveness.

Big Bertha Fusion Fairway Woods come with the Callaway Golf Fusion NVS from Aldila(R) graphite shaft, available in Light, Regular and Stiff flexes.

Callaway has added 6h and 7H heavenwoods to their line of hybrids.

It won’t be long until you can get a complete set of hybrids.

The full press release is below.

I’m a big time baseball fan. I had a cousin who played catcher for the Senators in the 1960s, and when they moved from Washington, I switched my loyalties to the Baltimore Orioles. I’m in Michigan, now, but I’m still not quite a Tigers fan.

No matter where you are, though, you can show your loyalties with these Callaway Major League Logo Balls.

Too bad they don’t have the Senators though. (No, the Nationals aren’t the same).
