Also... Callaway has new Big Bertha driver and fairway woods coming out called the Diablo. I knew there was something missing from that line up... That's why I'm still holding out hope for X Proto wedges.

I got to see the new retail booklet for next season and based off that there aren't any new wedges coming out. This book is the book released to all of the sales managers, and it has all of the new stuff. It had the new Odyssey putters, which the new putters look pretty outrageous!!

Not as good as Ben's photos, but I found these:

yeah i really dislike the look of the new x forgeds. compared to the old ones, they're pretty lame-o.

Thanks for the pics.

Those new X-forged irons are very sweet looking.

Can't wait to get my hands on a demo set and see how they feel.

personally, im not a fan of callaway. i don't like the look and feel of their products, they just aren't for me. this is a first for me, as i love the look of the FT-iq and the FT-9, they both look so forgiving. i don't think i'd buy either one because of the hefty price tag that callaway sticks on their products(main reason for not liking), but i will definitely have to demo them!

Wow both of the drivers look INSANE, as well as both of the irons. I'm not a huge fan of center-shafted putters but I like the XG-7. And that black series putter.... I'm speechless. When it comes time for a new putter I'm probably going to be looking for an Odyssey Black Series. I'll never switch from Odyssey.



Oh and I was glancing at the website Harry posted pictures from, and check out some of these putters coming out next year from Odyssey. http://www.•••••••••.com/2009-odyssey-putters-photos/

That number one black is looking sweet.

The Black Series putter is actually making me think of trading my Scotty.

The design of the New X Forged reminds me a little of the Taylormade Tour Preferred. I've never tried a Cally Driver or wedges. The 2H I did try was pretty sweet but I just can't fork over $200 for one. Their putters have always been money.

Does anyone know if you can customize their putters?

[firstcut]

They have the FT-iq in stores now. It's a really good looking club IMHO. I didn't get to hit with it, but it "felt" solid just swinging it in the store. Ya, I know that doesn't mean anything... Of note is that all the FT-iq drivers come with a 45" shaft this year. Maybe the manufacturers are going to get the "accuracy is better than distance" clue soon? Still.. $500 for a driver is just too much....
