Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Taking top honors in Golf Digest's 2010 Hot List, this Tour version of the Callaway Diablo Edge Driver offers superior face technology, a higher MOI, a deeper CG, and better aerodynamics--all adding up to the longest, most accurate all-titanium driver Callaway has made yet. It features a unique construction that fuses four titanium elements together for optimal weight efficiency and longer ball flight, and improved aerodynamics for reduced drag in the down swing. It's complemented by an Aldila Habanero high-performance graphite shaft, which provides incredible feel and performance.

Callaway's standard version of the Diablo Edge Driver.

Standard vs. Tour Models
Diablo Edge Drivers feature two unique shapes, but all the same technology. Both drivers offer a 4-piece fused titanium design, a chemically milled hyperbolic face cup, and an aerodynamic body shape.

• The standard model features a core Callaway technology (S2H2), which removes weight from the hosel and repositions it in the perimeter of the golf club for more stability.
• The Tour model has a full-length hosel, less face progression and an optimized center of gravity that provides the look, feel and performance highly skilled golfers demand.

Callaway Core Technology: S2H2
Callaway's patented Short, Straight, Hollow, Hosel (S2H2) shortened the length of the hosel, allowing weight to be moved lower and to the more useful perimeter area of the clubhead. This bore-through design (Modified Tru-Bore Technology) allows the shaft tip to extend through the hosel and clubhead to the sole, improving feel and control by moving the tip of the shaft closer to the center of the clubface.

4-piece Fused Titanium Design
The use of Fused Titanium in a 4-piece modular design produces the most weight efficient all titanium driver Callaway's ever created. Each part is precision-formed and accurately fused together, allowing weight to be positioned optimally, delivering distance-enhancing, penetrating ball flight.

Chemically Milled Hyperbolic Face Cup
An acid chemical reduction process selectively removes unwanted material from the face cup for precision thickness control, resulting in our most consistently high ball speeds ever. And the strategic hyperbolic shaping of the face thickness dramatically improves impact efficiency and produces a larger effective hitting area--resulting in less disparity between the balls you hit in the center of the clubface and the balls you don't.

The sweet spot on a Callaway club with Hyperbolic Face Technology on the left, and a traditionally faced club on the right.

Compared to standard clubs, ball speed on off-center impacts from this club with Hyperbolic Face Technology will be noticeably greater. This contributes significantly to total distance on off-center hits.

Aerodynamic Body Design
Callaway reduced drag in the downswing for higher impact speeds by using an aerodynamic body design that refines and optimizes all edge transitions. This reduces drag up to 8 percent versus other 460cc driver heads.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Driver, even for mid-high handicap, June 27, 2011

I did not get the club from Amazon, rather I got it from Sports Authority during one of their deals (spend $100, get $25) at the $150 price point. Just wanted to get that out of the way. The remainder is a review of the driver, NOT the store :)

I have now owned and used this club for a couple of months and it has been a wonderful driver! My handicap currently sits in the area of 15-18, so I am not awesome, but I don't think I am a schmuck on the course either. The big decision with this club is whether or not to get the TOUR or REGULAR version (listed as Diablo Edge or Diablo Edge Tour). The regular version is geared towards higher handicappers/super-game-improvement, while the tour is geared towards lower handicappers. My reasoning for getting the tour version was that my game has improved over time and that for me to continue to improve, I need to start using some more equipment that is not all about super-game-improvement. Besides, as swings improve, there is no need for the slice correction within super-game-improvement equipment.

Onto the club performance. With this club out on the range, I have no slice problems. Maybe 1 ball in 20+ will have a slight fade. Rather, I fight more hooks than slices, and in both instances, they are not major hooks or slices. This club has easily added 15+ yards over my previous driver (we won't mention it... let's just say it was 5+ years old) and is much more consistent in terms of launch angle and accuracy for those hits that are not quite in the normal sweet spot. So, minor mishits are not insanely penalized. The response of the club face does let you know when you are slightly off, so you at least get some feedback you can work with.

This club is by far the most consistent I have hit (I have sampled, demoed a few others) and at the current price points (yes... it is over a year old) is a great buy.

I fully recommend it.

Great driver so far. It has a nice feel, weight, and classic look. I'm not a fan of the crazy huge drivers these days and this one fits the bill just right. Very sleek looking with its minimalist gloss black head and charcoal graphite shaft. I also purchased the tour version 3 wood and will be playing it this weekend.

This review is from: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Driver (Sports)

I recently started golfing again since I was a teenager. So well over 20 years.
My old 460cc titanium driver was only giving me 180-200 yards max drive with a 10.5°.

Found the 9.5° Diablo Edge Tour at a demo and tried it up against a ton of other drivers at the demo.
For my swing the Diablo Edge was 10yards longer over everything at the demo, also going 40-60 yards longer over my original driver.

This driver has greatly improved my game. Went from a 22 Handicap to a 14.

The feedback that this driver gives is great. You just need to pay attention to the sound and the feedback it will give you.
I also found that if you tend to over swing, this driver will not work. To many guys think a 300mph swing is required to get 250+ yards, when slowing down a little and pay attention to the feedback of your driver like this one helps get more distance.
My drives go anywhere from 240-260 yards with a 70-75 mph swing.

Also went from Slice/Fade to having a small Draw/Hook on my drives.
