One thing I will say about Callaway’s approach to I-MIX the multitude of shafts available, particularly on the used market made the I-MIX system much more consumer friendly than any of the other adjustable product lines. My guess, based on absolutely nothing, is that Callaway will go back to the drawing board and completely retool their adjustability system in the very near future. I think at this point even the most loyal Callaway fan would have to acknowledge that the I-MIX system simply didn’t measure up to the other interchangeable systems, and perhaps had even become a liability in some respects.
#CALLAWAY RAZR DRIVER PRO DRIVERS#
We’d have to review the RAZR Hawk by itself, just as we have the other drivers thus far in 2011.Īs of the time of writing, Callaway has decided not to make an I-MIX version of RAZR Hawk available for retail purchase, although we know with absolute certainty that I-MIX versions of the head do exist. Finally we heard back from TaylorMade, and a few emails, and more than a week later, we had to accept the reality that the head to head review was never going to happen. TaylorMade said… … … Days passed without a response. Callaway responded within minutes to basically let me know the drivers were on the way. Given Callaways’ claim, and TaylorMade’s response, we couldn’t imagine a review more compelling to our readers than a head to head test of the two. Quite literally within minutes of reading the original Callaway ads, MyGolfSpy reached out to our contacts at both companies. Of course, when one company calls out the other and essentially takes what is effectively that competitor’s biggest product launch in years, and responds with a simple claim that paint is not innovation – our driver is better, we immediately wanted to sort the truth from the marketing. When my 2010 golf season ended, I had one club from each in my bag. I’ve at one time or another carried drivers, irons, and wedges from both companies. Now when it comes to the marketing wars between two of the biggest names in the industry, I can assure you I’ve got no personal dog in the fight. While we certainly appreciate the humor, especially from an industry in which it’s largely lacking, what really caught our attention was Callaway’s claim that their RAZR Hawk Driver is 6 yards longer than TaylorMade’s R11. Following on the heals of that, Callaway’s marketing people released an ad showing a Hawk driver standing out above a see of R11 drivers with the caption “The Hawk’s diet now includes sheep”. We were just starting to put together the list of clubs we wanted to test in 2011 when Callaway kicked off a media frenzy of sorts by releasing their “Performance Over Paint” campaign on the same day TaylorMade released their R11 Driver (interesting coincidence, right?). Launch angles were consistent and higher than expected.“You would be doing yourself a huge disservice by not adding the Callaway Razr Hawk Driver to your demo list when it comes time to buy your next driver!” Callaway RAZR Hawk Review
It felt solid at impact and I could tell where the head was through the entire swing. Callaway has made the adjustability simple and effective. The Callaway RAZR Fit driver performed consistently, even though the face looked strong at address. The sound on impact is unique, but it works well.Ī beautifully proportioned driver. Solid and powerful without being overbearing, this is something that Callaway has got right for the past couple of years. The traditional shape means major misses will be punished. The ability to manipulate sideways flight will help to reduce the damage that a typical bad shot produces. It produces a lot less spin than most models, which is ideal in the wind. The shaft and head combination means those with fast swing speeds will really see the benefits of the design. The adjustability predominantly affects sideways flight and does make a difference.
Like the RAZR Hawk, the RAZR Fit driver will produce a pleasing flight without too much spin.
