    Why We Like It

    • The lightest model in the family at 272 grams targets swing speeds of 85 miles per hour or less.
    • Designed to launch the ball higher with a slice-correcting draw bias for golfers with outside-to-in swing paths.
    • Callaway used AI to review thousands of swings to develop the face’s asymmetrical variable thickness so that it flexes more effectively at moderate-speed impacts.
    • The face design helps to optimize spin and launch while mitigating ball-speed loss on off-center hits.
    • A thermo-forged carbon crown saves more mass than typical carbon composite, some of which is repositioned in the sole. The lower overall weight makes the head easier to control for moderate swing speeds.
    • Developed through new 3-D-printing capabilities, the enhanced head shape has smoother curves for less drag.
    • First lightweight Callaway driver to feature adjustable weight ports (neutral and draw positions).
    • MOI Rating: HIGH
    • 10.5, 12 degrees (with an eight-way adjustable hosel)
