I just recently bought this club early this spring because I needed to get some new technology into my game (I had the Biggest Big Bertha until this year ). I like the feel, design, and power of the club, but I do not like the way it sits at address. If you look at Callaway's website you see that the club is designed to not rock at address to properly set the face before the swing. However, it seems to me that my face is closed at address because of this design. Do you think it's my stance at address or just a design flaw? Well, that's the only thing I don't like about that club. It made me hit hard hooks that I usually do not have. After compensating a bit by tilting the face up, I'm hitting it farther and straighter than I've hit it in a while.

Anyone else have this club or reviewed it?

It might just be your eyes...If you are hitting it well and where you want it then I wouldn't worry about it at all. :)

I don't know. I've asked other people about it and they see it as closed too. Well, I guess I shouldn't complain unless I start snapping them OB every hole.

I have to Callaway 454, and the specs on Callaways Website say that the face is square.. However I do notice that at address the face appears closed approximately 1 or 2 degrees. I dont think its you, Callaway's do look like that...I went to hit the X460 Tour at the golf store and that appears closed as well, and that is the tour version.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
