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.

      Context:  I am on vacation, so I don't have access to my indoor practice room, and I won't for about a month. Day 12 (August 22).  Today's weather was not one where even I was going to be outside.  For whatever reason, I didn't do the putting drill today.  There was a drill I remembered from this site (the article was something akin to "five things you can do to improve that don't require talent") that involved having an iron along the back from stance, moving to backswing and holding, then moving to forward swing and holding.  So I did that for five minutes today. I also spent 90 minutes at the gym;  my main motivation for getting stronger is golf related (and I really should get back to Fit For Golf  specific workouts;  I'm not sure when I lost that habit, a poor choice on my part that I did).  Funny story, I spent 20 minutes on the Stairmaster today at the gym (the rest was weights and rests), a device I started with shortly after I took up golf because I read something about it in a Butch Harmon book.  I should be following FFG Mike's fitness advice though, not some memory of someone else.

      Day 325 - 2025-08-22 Practiced for almost an hour after cleaning my cabinets to account for the new GEARS cameras and helping @OBlum for a bit. Exaggerating the same old things.

      Yea, faster greens = shorter putting stroke. You can be more accurate.  Really, I think people who struggle with distance control struggle just as much on slow greens as fast greens. I've seen people blast putts 10-FT past the hole on 8 or 9 STIMP as much as 11-12 STIMP.  I prefer faster greens. Usually means the putting surface is better and again, shorter putting stroke.
