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.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
