Gone are the days when women teed off with their 3-woods because they couldn't get their drivers up in the air. The new, 460cc super-lightweight drivers are designed with more clubhead loft and lower centers of gravity (CG) to help slower swingers launch the ball higher and gain more distance. New clubface technology and geometrically advanced head shapes make off-center hits perform more like your good shots.

A hyberbolic (X-shaped) raised area on the back of the clubface increases efficiency across the entire face, creating the largest effective hitting area of any Callaway all-titanium driver. The oval-shaped head adds stability while maintaining a classic look.
PLAYER COMMENT: "This hits the ball nice and high, and it's easy to line up. The ball really pops off the face." —Carol Susaeta, Hcp: 13
