If it's a good driver that hits them far and straight I don't care how it looks.

Looks like this new driver is replacing the Diablo Edge, and the RAZR will replace the FT-9 when it comes out.

No kidding. Hold on to those x-forged irons, that new stuff looks like it came from a marvel comic book.

im just relaly not a big fan of those weird cavity shapes Callaway has been making, starting with Diablo Edge's. I like my clubs to just have a nice classic look to it.

Looks like it's finally time for me to get the FT-9! I love the look of the FT-9 but have been slow to pull the trigger; I'm really attached to my X460.

That Diablo Octane looks gross.

I have played several rounds with the Octane driver and 3 and 5 woods and have mixed emotions. The graphics are flat out pathetic. there were times where i didnt know what to say so i just started laughing... i will tell you one thing, they are carbon copies of the first taylormade burners. not a difference to me. pretty light and go far and erratic. i did like the 3 wood, but the driver sucked imo.

Whats in my 14 Way Stand Bag?? Just...

how did it sound with the new carbon fiber material? in the video its got kind of a weird noise. Im not a fan of the carbon fiber drivers callaway is holding onto for their little niche over other golf companies

I find it to play the exact same as the old Burner. You cant tell that there is any carbon fiber material, and im not 100% sure if there is any in the Octane. I didn't like it, but if someone does, I think you should just get the old Burner for like 100$ new...

weird noise? i like the way it sounds. doesn't sound like a car crash, rather a crisp THWAK which is what I like.

and whats wrong with carbon fiber material? the FT Tour and Diablo Edge Tour drivers are absolutely great.

i think I just dont really care for the carbon fiber/plastic stuff because of using the ft-5 for awhile. Sound was awful, I think the ft tour sounds good though. The diablo edge drivers are pretty much all titanium and they play that way too, sound is completely titanium

Both of those drivers are fugly! The Razr forged irons don't look too terrible IMO, but the rest of that stuff just looks gimmicky. Looks like callaway hired designers from disney or something...
