Just received my Callaway X2 3-wood...

(why does the box say "preowned"?)

I can't wait to try it out this weekend.

I will write up a review within the next couple of weeks.

Before I saw the pictures, it sounded like the box had an enormous "PREOWNED" label slapped ontop of it. If I had to guess, putting the website there is to advertise that they sell preowned clubs as well as new ones.

That is a sweet looking club, congrats!

When do we get to hear how that thing works?  I would be interested to hear how it stacks up against your SLDR.

Mark Crossfield has a comparison video between the sldr and bertha I think. If I remember right they were pretty darn similar. I'm in the market for a new driver if you don't like that one my good friend Matt :-P:beer:

Nice review!

Is it going to replace your SLDR, or function more as a reminder for the SLDR that you have options if it chooses to act up? B-)

Right now they are both in the bag, so I am pulling a Phil right now, TWO DRIVERS BABY!!!

Honestly, I think I might be gaming this Big Bertha for a while. If it keeps going well, I might actually pull the Fujikura Shaft out of my SLDR and see if I can get a Callaway Adapter for it. I still prefer a slightly heavier shaft.

Yea, I like how the Bertha driver performs. I'll have to go make an excuse to visit the golfsmith to get some numbers. Would be interesting to see the differences.

I thought your catch phrase was "BAZINGA"?

Nice review.

    • I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...  
    • Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target. 
    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
