Callaway Driver question for R35

[warbirdlover]

This year they have about 40 drivers and tour models of each. I know you are up on the whole story so here's the list, tell us a little about each one and pick which one you'd go with, even if it's the one you already play. Thanks!

R35 would play the 910 D3 if it had a chevron alignment aid on it instead of a triangle ;-)

The Razr Hawk is essentially a driver that fits between the FT Tour (players driver) and the Diablo Octane. The FT-Iz is the replacement for the FT-i.

The Razr Hawk Tour will replace the FT Tour after this year. The Diablo Octane is a bit more forgiving than the RAZR, and will fit into more guy's games.

If I had to pick one to play, it would be the FT Tour, but the RAZR Hawk Tour is right up there. The rest of them don't fit my eye.

The Tour versions are measured in half degree lofts and have square to open faces and more "neutral" weighting. The non-Tour versions come in whole lofts and are more draw biased, and also feature more closed faces to help with a slice.

I wouldn't play any of them if it had an alignment aid. I loathe alignment aids.

That said, the D2 is better for my swing (need a bit more spin for better carry).

The loft's have changed with the new line Pal. The Razr Hawk non-Tour's are now half lofts as well as the Tour's, probably the same with the Octane's. I've recieved my Razr Hawk Tour today, it arrived whilst I was out on the course playing with Barkz. I borrowed his FT Tour and hit it very well, just hoping the RHT is an improvement on the FTT which was already a great club.

Hey Eddie, what loft is your IZ?

This is outside convention for Callaway. Being that I almost never look at the non-Tour product, this was my overstatement - I stand corrected.

Interesting that they offer the RH non-Tour in 13.5*. That's more than my 3W.

I'm lovin my FT Tour 9.5. Kind of wish they would make something with a smaller head though, still looks a little too big for me. On a slightly different note has anyone tried the Razr tour Hybrid, I picked up a 3 and it is great, 230 and dropping it out of the Ozone layer

The RAZR hybrid is the only club that I would consider putting in my bag right now. Everything else I have little interest in. But that thing is just sweet (in the 2H model).
