Review: Callaway X Hot Driver

By Tom Irwin

Apr 4, 2013

Our testers review the latest driver from Callaway

Great for effortless power

Testers’ Comments:

JW: It looks great on the shelf. It was quick off the face and lively. Low spin for me, which was surprising but certainly a plus.

DM: I got a couple very high off the face but when I connected it went miles. Really quick off the face. I like the head shape and finish. It was just too light for me to be consistent.

SC: The long shaft was very hard to control.

SRP: £249
