Callaway Diablo Octane Driver Review

The driver is faster, strong and lighter than pretty much any in its class, and although the forged composite does take a few swings to get used to, it is easy to quickly fall in love. When Callaway claims that theDiablo Octane is the most powerful driver to date, theyre not joking! My first run of balls at the range had my adrenaline pumping. Despite my long morning earlier, I wasnt ready to go home and relax for the day; I needed to play a round like an addict yearns for a fix. Hooked was an understatement!

The driver is incredibly lightweight, which is what took me a minute to get used to. Callaway uses a chemical reduction process that is really quite unique, to remove excess material from the face. Not only is the club lighter, it helps to stabilize off-center shots hit from virtually all areas of the clubface.

The head incorporates a smaller footprint with a nice deep face. When you combine this with an open face angle, less face progression and a full tour hostel, you are granted a driver that looks as fierce as it feels.

have to admit, I was excited about this driver before I even got my hands on it, but as time grew near to demo it, I was filled with anxiety. Quite honestly, I was scared that it would not measure up to my expectations. I have found from experience that many drivers do not sit nicely behind the ball, some can even be a bit unstable and distracting when youre trying to line up. The first thing I noticed is that theCallaway Diablo Octane not only sat properly, it pretty much squared itself too!

Now, if you are a 1-handicap, you may find yourself losing distance with this driver. I have found that anyone at this skill level is opting for the Tour model. The Diablo Octane is much more appropriate for the aspiring golfer who would be delighted with even a little improvement but doing backflips over an increased distance in their drive. I think the majority of the golf population falls neatly in this category, whether we like to admit it or not. When a driver promises increased distance, it better deliver. The Callaway Diablo Octane Tour delivers, and goes on to leave a nice fat tip! Callaway certainly knew that they were doing when they teamed up with Lamborghini in a unique partnership to create a club so special that its worthy of being an addition to any bag.
