@CallawayDocHock OptiFit Hosel : Face Angle range 3.5 deg Open to 1.5 deg Closed. That's what it takes to optimize us humans. #LongestDriverInGolf
@CallawayDocHock Forged Composite Crown : 80% stronger than titanium means lower CG, less spin, more distance. Sounds great too. #LongestDriverInGolf
@CallawayDocHock There are around 10million carbon fibers in the 12g Forged Composite Crown. They are tiny, light and incredibly strong. #LongestDriverInGolf
@CallawayDocHock Head design with OptiFit weights : Draw bias in the higher lofts is more than the lower lofts. Optimizing all golfers. #LongestDriverInGolf
@CallawayDocHock 8.5,9.5,10.5 Neutral will play like FT Tour. 11.5 and 13HT Draw have more draw than Razr Hawk. All in one driver. #LongestDriverInGolf
