Callaway Diablo Edge Tour DriverCallaway Diablo Edge Tour Driver. Just wanted to get that out of the way. The remainder is a review of the driver, NOT the store :)

I have now owned and used this club for a couple of months and it has been a wonderful driver! My handicap currently sits in the area of 15-18, so I am not awesome, but I don’t think I am a schmuck on the course either. The big decision with this club is whether or not to get the TOUR or REGULAR version (List as Callaway Diablo Edge and Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Driver ). The regular version is geared towards higher handicappers/super-game-improvement, while the tour is geared towards lower handicappers. My reasoning for getting the tour version was that my game has improved over time and that for me to continue to improve, I need to start using some more equipment that is not all about super-game-improvement. Besides, as swings improve, there is no need for the slice correction within super-game-improvement equipment.

Onto the club performance. With this club out on the range, I have no slice problems. Maybe 1 ball in 20+ will have a slight fade. Rather, I fight more hooks than slices, and in both instances, they are not major hooks or slices. This club has easily added 15+ yards over my previous driver (we won’t mention it… let’s just say it was 5+ years old) and is much more consistent in terms of launch angle and accuracy for those hits that are not quite in the normal sweet spot. So, minor mishits are not insanely penalized. The response of the club face does let you know when you are slightly off, so you at least get some feedback you can work with.

This club is by far the most consistent I have hit (I have sampled, demoed a few others) and at the current price points (yes… it is over a year old) is a great buy.

I fully recommend it. Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Driver Customer Review by A. Curtis (Omaha, NE).

Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Driver

Taking top honors in Golf Digest’s 2010 Hot List, this Tour version of the Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Driver offers superior face technology, a higher MOI, a deeper CG, and better aerodynamics–all adding up to the longest, most accurate all-titanium driver Callaway has made yet. It features a unique construction that fuses four titanium elements together for optimal weight efficiency and longer ball flight, and improved aerodynamics for reduced drag in the down swing. It’s complemented by an Aldila Habanero high-performance graphite shaft, which provides incredible feel and performance.

Standard vs. Tour Models
Diablo Edge Drivers feature two unique shapes, but all the same technology. Both drivers offer a 4-piece fused titanium design, a chemically milled hyperbolic face cup, and an aerodynamic body shape.

Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Driver

  • The standard model features a core Callaway technology (S2H2), which removes weight from the hosel and repositions it in the perimeter of the golf club for more stability.
  • The Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Driver model has a full-length hosel, less face progression and an optimized center of gravity that provides the look, feel and performance highly skilled golfers demand.

Callaway Core Technology: S2H2
Callaway’s patented Short, Straight, Hollow, Hosel (S2H2) shortened the length of the hosel, allowing weight to be moved lower and to the more useful perimeter area of the clubhead. This bore-through design (Modified Tru-Bore Technology) allows the shaft tip to extend through the hosel and clubhead to the sole, improving feel and control by moving the tip of the shaft closer to the center of the clubface.

4-piece Fused Titanium Design
The use of Fused Titanium in a 4-piece modular design produces the most weight efficient all titanium driver Callaway’s ever created. Each part is precision-formed and accurately fused together, allowing weight to be positioned optimally, delivering distance-enhancing, penetrating ball flight.

Chemically Milled Hyperbolic Face Cup
An acid chemical reduction process selectively removes unwanted material from the face cup for precision thickness control, resulting in our most consistently high ball speeds ever. And the strategic hyperbolic shaping of the face thickness dramatically improves impact efficiency and produces a larger effective hitting area–resulting in less disparity between the balls you hit in the center of the clubface and the balls you don’t.

Compared to standard clubs, ball speed on off-center impacts from this club with Hyperbolic Face Technology will be noticeably greater. This contributes significantly to total distance on off-center hits.

Aerodynamic Body Design
Callaway reduced drag in the downswing for higher impact speeds by using an aerodynamic body design that refines and optimizes all edge transitions. This reduces drag up to 8 percent versus other 460cc driver heads.
