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.

    • You’ve yet to propose anything else. And yet it was, and the rules tell you how to deal with it. Your question has been answered. The Committee can declare them GUR. I disagree with your assessment of common sense. 😀 And yet they didn’t really change this one. Looks like this is about wrapped up? “That Rule is So Unfair!” A Rules Geek’s Generalized Guide to Hot Takes and Overreactions | Rules Geeks I apologize for the length of this post. If I had more time I’d have written a shorter one. – Erik J...  
    • When you are penalized for hitting into the sand trap the penalty is having to hit it out of the sand, not out of three inches of water. A sand trap is not the same as a water hazard. A sand trap is not supposed to be under water. It is a unique condition caused  by weather and poor drainage. Most local leagues like ours allow the free drop in this type of situation, as long as there is no area in the bunker to legally drop. This is what I’m talking about, sometimes the official rules of golf don’t align with common sense. That’s why they are finally starting to change them. For example, when wind blows your ball off the green. That was a stupid rule. People being able to call the tv network to say they saw a players ball move. That was a stupid rule. I’m just saying, these are rules made up a long time ago, and it’s time to modernize them.
    • Consider it another way: normally, it's a two-stroke penalty to move your ball out of a bunker (unplayable). The ACC reduces it to just one.
    • No, hitting into a hazard that is supposed to be avoided and is designed to be penalizing is not the same as hitting it into the middle of the fairway.   You are penalized because you hit it into a hazard. Based on your logic let's say you hit it into a red staked penalty area and you could normally play it but it's in temporary casual water from rain. Would you expect a free drop from there too??
    • They could have declared it GUR, sure. It is. It's temporary water, and as I said before, an abnormal course condition (ACC). That's what rule 16 is about — ACCs. No, a bunker ≠ the middle of the fairway. You are penalized because you hit it into a bunker. As for the rest… let's stick to the topic. Yep.
