Nov 24, 2011

NCG's team of experts review all the latest kit independently. Find out what they thought of the Callaway Diablo Octane Black driver...

WHAT WE THOUGHT

“The pattern on the crown is a little off-putting initially but the forgiveness on even big mis-hits is extremely impressive. If you need to hit fairways or struggle with a slice, give this a go.” JoW
“This sits nicely – much better than you’d expect from a mass-market club – and I love the sound. Undeniably forgiving.” MT
“I don’t like the marbled crown but I do like the performance. I felt like I couldn’t miss.” DM
