Played my X460 today for the first time. I loved it! Great trajectory, long, and straight. Effortless to hit too. Mine is 9 degree w/ Fujikura stiff shaft. I don't use the alignment aid sole, I align the club with my hands and eyes.

What size Tee works best with the club?

Like others I searched long and hard for a driver and came across the X460 10* Stiff, I must say this is a very easy driver to hit, I do seem to pull it but I think thats more of my swing than the closed face. ITs a great deal compared to others. Its a very straight club but its seems like my distance was lacking and my ball just kind of floated with a soft landing. Im upgrading to the FT-I which is a rocket launcher and straight but pricey.

I recently picked up a 9 degree stiff shaft x460. It is a decent club for the money, $199 currently and even cheaper on ebay. I had a gift certificate to the Sports Authority and figured I would give it a try. I must say the performance is pretty good, but the trajectory is a little low for me. Lastly, I no longer bring it out of the bag due to the completely evil sound it makes, some of you have gotten over it, not me. All this club is going to do for me is bring up my feedback rating when I sell it on ebay.

I purchased the X460 on eBay for $99. It's a stiff flex 10.5 degree loft. It arrived yesterday and I immediately took it out for an 18 hole test drive. It is simply amazing. I did not pull or slice a single tee shot. Even my miss hits went straight. I had trouble on the front nine getting the ball in the air. Most of my tee shots were either topped or low line drives.

On the back nine I decided to tee the ball differently. Instead of the bottom of the ball at the top of the club, I teed it about 1/3 inch higher. The results: TING ... first drive went 273 uphill. Second drive ... TING ... 245. Third drive ... TING ... 265. Fourth ... TING ... 276. Fifth ... TING ... 251. Unbelievable! I'm a beginner and 49 years old, but I was hitting my drives like I was twenty years younger and knew what I was doing.

My previous driver was a Jack Nicklaus 410cc regular flex that I hit about 220 (if I really cranked one it went 245). This Callaway club has added 30-40 yards to my drives. Had I figured out the tee height problem sooner I would have bettered my best round by a wide margin.

I would highly recommend this club to anyone of any ability.

I havent played for 20 years , bought a Ram starter kit. And did not take long to go to Dicks for a driver . I priced drivers under 200 bucks. Bought a Walter Hagen M2 , hit well with it then I swung ..and the head flew buy the ball. No problems swicthing for Callaways x 460 driver nine degree. The ting sound very good , compared to the other clubs. I dont have enough time in to say if the draw or slice bothers me. But as a beginer I can say it drives best .. well over 270 yrds. ( Im 6 4 300 lbs)And is very strait when I grip the shaft good. This is a great club for 150 bucks new. Im hopeing my balls fly better than the range balls.

My x460 stiff shaft 10* replaced a 1999 TaylorMade Titanium. My tendency is high & right, with some balloons. It is difficult to get the clubface closed. I am straight to a slight draw with my 3w and 5w (both Taylor 200 series). Distance is a little disappointing too.

I recently purchased the X460 10 degree with stiff shaft, which may have been a mistake. So far, the club has delivered mostly straight shots, but dissapointing distance. The club it replaced, a Taylor Made 320 I hit further for sure. Perhaps my slowing SS makes the regular shaft a better match for me.

But I've only had it for 2 rounds, so I need to give it a chance.

I tested the x460 out today at a little play in Massachusetts. Im a small kid(5'7" 130lb) but i was hitting the ball a good 250+ straight on almost every drive. I tried out a whole lot of other clubs too..Nike Sasquatch, Taylor Made Burner, and even a Cobra but it was the easiest, and had most forgeveness. Im ordering one soon

I was lent one with a "wrong'un", shaft. It was too stiff for my friend, how could not get it to fly. However it works for me. I can really lean on it and have found it to be forgiving. I am not too sure about length, yes I am 80 yards longer than most, but still shorter than my Mizuno World Cup Persimmon.

It seems to me that you should concentrate on getting the correct shaft for your style of golf. It is, in my opinion the most important part of the club. Then you can play about with the grip thickness and then launch angle / loft.

All being said, I find the whole package quite satisfying and the crack off of the club face better than the Taylor Made.
