Callaway is comming out with two new Diablo woods; the Edge and the Edge Tour.

http://www.callawaygolf.com/Global/e...rwayWoods.html

I think they will be introduced Feb 15.

But based on what I've read both here and in magazines, Titleist is considered a better club for low handicapers.

For what its worth I bought a Titleist 906f4 last year and struggled with it. It was a bit of a rash purhase really as I was looking for something to hit off the tee and therefore the 906f2 would probably have been a better choice.

Its not the best club for tee shots. The shallow profile make it easy to sky ball. I use mine off the tee but tee it up maybe 1/4"

I have a 906f2 and 906f4. I switch back and forth depending on where I am playing. I also have a 904f 17* with the v2 High Launch shaft and its cut down to the length of a 3H... That club is money for me... I will put that in the bag on the shorter courses.

I've never been a fan of Titleist woods (play their wedges and irons, though). I just don't find them very forgiving and I don't like the "feel" and look of them.

I have always been a Callaway guy when it comes to woods/metals, though. I have a Big Bertha 2007 3 Wood that is great off the tee when the driver isn't cooperating and is wonderful off the fairway. Because of the wide/flat sole, however, it doesn't do as well out of the rough. It is the most forgiving club in my bag and the distance and control is incrediable.

I also play a Callaway X 5 Wood. It is good off the fairway, but incrediable out of the light rough. Which I think is due to the sole design. It is forgiving (though not as forgiving as the Big Bertha), long and straight.

And (which is part of the reason I love Callaway) both the X series and the Big Bertha series look and sound fantastic!

What I Play:

Driver: R9 460
4 Wood: G15

Hy: Callaway FT 3Hy

Irons: AP1 4-PW

Wedges: Vokey 52* & 60*, Mizuno MP-T 10 58*

Putter: Newport Studio Select 2.7

Ball: Nike One Vapor

Interesting.

I really don't like the way the Diablo woods look when you address the ball. The hozzle-to-head connection is funky to me. But that new Diablo with the traditional hozzle is intriguing.

I still use my Callaway Hawkeye VFT 3 & 5 fairway wood and absolutely love it! I have tried several times to replace these to more recent fairway woods but no other fairway woods could replace my babies.

I used to carry all Titleist clubs in my bag. I'm starting to think that Callaway is making the best clubs out there right now. I love my forged blades, the 660s, so I won't change them until I feel the need to. I switched from the 905r to the FT-5 last year and I couldn't believe the difference. I had a Titleist 3 wood as well but got rid of that for a Diablo 3 wood. Titleist makes good clubs, I just feel that Callaway is currently putting out a better product. Hot off the face and damn forgiving, can't beat it.

    • Ok, so I’m still confused here. Are you saying I could have used the only available Spot in the bunker even though it was 6-7 feet closer to the hole?   
    • Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.
    • I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year! 
    • Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water? 
    • Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.
