A Great Helper in Tee Shots

The Diablo Edge is Callaway’s latest effort to put easy-to-hit technology in the hands of your average golfer. Since that describes us and most of the guys we know, we applaud the concept. The most obvious visual feature of the club is it’s shape which offers a pleasing blend of the traditional and the progressive. The overall silhouette offers improved aerodynamics that cuts down nearly 10% of the drag that can slow the clubhead speed of competing 460cc drivers. Translation: faster clubhead = longer drives. This shape also produces a slightly shallow face, which, though subjective, gave us a very confident look at address. Additionally, this means that the clubhead’s weight has been optimized towards the perimeter of the club for maximum MOI (moment of inertia) and stability for corralling off-center hits. An all-titanium driver, the Diablo Edge offers pitch-perfect audible feedback, neither too muted nor too sharp (the sound of a driver is a trait that is often overlooked, but can be very unnerving if not properly tuned).
Having already propelled Alvaro Quiros to become the longest driver in world golf, Callaway is now planning to help the rest of us discover our inner big-hitter with the launch of a new line of drivers for 2010. But power is only half of the story, I claims, with the new diablo drivers (standard and Tour versions) offering both distance and forgiveness.
As you might expect, the new drivers feature the sort of technical advancement we’ve come to associate with Callaway. Far from being a simple cosmetic touch-up, this is a full-blown overhaul with updated geometry, improved aerodynamics and a new four-piece design helping to create what the company claims is the most weight-efficient all-titanium driver it has ever produced.
The fusing of crown, sole, face and internal weight enabled Callaway engineers – led by Briton Dr Alan Hocknell – to make the body of the driver much thinner than would have been possible with a standard casting. The weight saved was then moved lower and further back in the head, with a carefully positioned weight chip lowering the CG (centre of gravity), improving the launch conditions and even giving a slight draw bias. If you want to bomb drives these, surely, are your ideal conditions.

The club also greatly helps with the off center hits. A 15-16 handicapper used to believe of fixing the swing, not the club. He was never a real believer in buying new equipment to help the golf game. But with Callaway Diablo Edge Driver, it made him change his view.
