Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver

I hit likely 40-50 balls with Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver (I had a problem putting it down). It had a similar feel to the FT-3 (at least in my books), but if anything a little solider feeling and sounding – if you’ve ever hit the FT-3, you’d likely know what I’m talking about here. I’ll admit I haven’t hit many composite drivers (Cleveland Composite being an exception) but I do enjoy the feel with this material. There is a considerable difference in feel for off-center hits… but it remains a solid one. My swing speed was solid around the 105-108MPH range and distance was also up there at the 290 yard range. The trajectory was slightly lower than expected for a 10.5 degree driver at around 10-11 degrees. I usually hit a lower ball, but I have a feeling the high kick of the Aldila RIP had an effect here. This shaft’s ability to maintain a low ball flight may be a point of contention for players who enjoy a higher trajectory, but on the other hand you’d be hard pressed to balloon this driver.

The Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver also had a surprise in store for me. Spin levels for solid hits we’re pretty normal, if on the lower end around 3300 RPM, but off-center hits showed a significant decrease in spin, which equated to more ground roll. This feature helps contribute to the consistency this club has to offer – most hits were within a 25-yard dispersion pattern, and off-center hits only lost about 10 yards in distance, despite maintaining a solid feel.
Additional Features:

• Forged Composite: revolutionary new material that is lighter, stronger than titanium
• Hyperbolic Face Technology: a chemical milling process selectively removes excess material for precision thickness control across the face which results in consistently high ball speeds for long distance
• Aerodynamic Head Shape: the streamlined surface contours reduce drag during the downswing by 43% compared to the FT-9 driver and creates higher impact speeds for added distance
• Shaft: Aldila RIP Tour graphite shaft - lower torque with better tip stability to give better players the ideal performance and feel they want from their shaft
• Grip: Carbite Rubber Composition
• Headsize: 445 cc
• Face Construction: Titanium
• Body and Crown Construction: Composite
