Callaway drivers and fairway woods are designed to be very forgiving and easy to hit. Callaway produce woods that generate massive distance by using variable face technology.
To decide which Callaway wood is best for you, look for the right combination of loft, shaft material and shaft flex.
Callaway woods - loft
The loft on Callaway drivers range from 7-12 degrees. High lofts hit higher shots and low lofts hit lower shots. Callaway drivers (1 wood) with 9-11 degrees loft are suitable for most golfer. Callaway woods with less loft than 9 degrees are more suitable for low handicap golfers. Golfers with a slower swing will usually hit the ball further using a Callaway driver with a higher loft. The same is true with Callaway fairway woods. The higher the loft the easier to hit the ball but the less distance it goes.
Callaway woods – shaft.
Most tour professionals use graphite shafts in drivers. Callaway woods with graphite shafts hit the ball a little further than woods with steel shafts and dampen the vibration caused when striking the ball. Callaway woods with steel shafts are generally only offered as a special option. Some golfers think Callaway woods with steel shafts offer better feel.
Callaway woods - flex
Callaway woods with regular flex shafts are suitable for most golfers. Callaway woods with a stiff flex provide more accuracy for those with strong or quick swings. Callaway woods with light flex are aimed at golfers with slower swing speeds. The extra whip in a Callaway light flex shaft can be a great help to those who do not hit the ball very far, but will be less accurate for stronger players.
Callaway woods - steel or titanium head?
Titanium is half the weight of steel and more expensive. Its light weight allows Callaway to make bigger heads which have bigger sweet spots. Big headed Callaway drivers are much more forgiving. Even tour players benefit from using titanium headed drivers. Large titanium heads on fairway woods are not as popular. They can be less easy to control when you are playing the ball from the fairway rather than teeing it up
