X460 Driver
Callaway Golf is proud to introduce the new X460(R) Driver -- The X460 Driver, in both standard and Tour models, will be available at Montaup CC for $299.00.
At 460cc, the new Callaway X460 drivers are the largest allowable under the
Rules of Golf. They combine a new CT/VFT face, a distinctly designed and patented
Consistent Alignment Sole and proven and patented Callaway Golf technologies.
Extensive testing at the Callaway Golf Test Center in Carlsbad, California,
show the X460 and X460 Tour to be the longest conforming all-titanium drivers
Callaway Golf has ever made.
The new CT/VFT face, the Company's next-generation patented Variable Face Thickness
(VFT(R)) Technology, takes ball speed to the edge of the legal limit as defined
by the United States Golf Association's Characteristic Time (CT) test. The X460's
titanium face is robotically plasma-welded to the body, utilizing a precision
manufacturing process. This ensures face thickness is controlled to tight tolerances
for robust performance over a larger face area. Result: more distance, more
often.
Another key feature of the Callaway X460 Driver is its distinctively designed
"Consistent Alignment Sole." At address, the subtle keels of the soleplate
rest on the turf for ease in aiming the club face and stabilizing the club head.
And the unique configuration of the X460's larger face area -- more than 10
percent larger than the Big Bertha(R) Titanium 454 Driver -- allowed Callaway
Golf engineers to move even more weight to resist twisting from heel to toe
and from sole to crown. This delivers a more consistent trajectory and more
accuracy off the tee.
Finally, the X460 Driver features two other core Callaway Golf technologies
that have helped make the Company's drivers the choice of golfers of all skill
levels for years: S2H2(R) (short, straight, hollow hosel) the breakthrough design
that dramatically shortens the traditional hosel length, allowing weight to
be moved lower and to the perimeter of the clubhead for significantly greater
forgiveness; and Tru-Bore(R) bore-through construction, which improves feel
and control by extending the shaft completely through the hosel and clubhead
to the sole.
Tour versions of the X460 Driver come in half-degree lofts to distinguish them
from the standard models. In addition to a square face, the X460 Tour Driver
features a slightly modified center of gravity position to produce trajectories
generally preferred by better players.
The new Callaway Golf X460 Driver is available in lofts of 9 degrees, 10 degrees,
11 degrees, and HT (High Trajectory) and comes standard with a Fujikura(R) 64-gram
graphite shaft in Light, Regular and Stiff flexes. The X460 Tour version comes
in 8.5-degree, 9.5-degree and 10.5-degree lofts with a Fujikura Tour Platform
26.3 shaft in Regular, Stiff and Extra Stiff flexes. Left-handed versions of
the X460 Driver are available in the 9-degree and 10-degree lofts. The left-handed
X460 Tour Driver is available in the 8.5-degree and 9.5-degree lofts.
