One thing that I will like to mention about in this
Callaway Diablo Octane Driver Review is that it offers great options when it comes to
selecting the shafts. A few golfers prefer taylor made diablo octanes
too. At times people have been found confusing it with nike or ping, but
clearly diablo octane has no relation with them. I went ahead with the
Project X Shaft which feels really solid and offers a flex choice
between Regular and X-Stiff. It is important to select the right shaft
so as not to get disappointing results or zero improvements in handicap.
I use Callaway Men’s universal grip to go with the above shaft. I am
quite impressed with the head portion too as it has a great design and
feels optimum in weight. This alone provides a great confidence when I
start my drives. I like the feel and sound of this
Callaway Diablo Octane Driver so I won’t be trying any other brands from now. It has a
real solid grip and makes a cracking sound at the time of contact which
is pleasing to ears. The smoothness and accuracy is impeccable and makes
me think why did I kept wasting my time with other things till now.

The marketing campaign for the
Callaway Diablo Octane Driver touts 8 more yards
of distance. Nice attention grabber - who doesn't want to be using one
club less into the green? But real-world testing along with testing on a
simulator showed the gains were harder to come by, and in some cases
didn't come at all. A solid 1-handicapper tested Diablo Edge and Diablo
Octane drivers with the same specs on a launch monitor. The longer shaft
on the Octane
did result in higher swing speeds and greater ball
speed, but another result was more off-center hits and a decrease in
average driving distance. That highly skilled 1-handicapper (who also is
a recent state "Open" competitor) was losing between 5-8 yards with the
Octane compared to the Diablo Edge.
