There are a lot of great fairway woods on the market. And, if you haven't tried any of them before, now might just be the time to try the new Callaway X hot fairway wood.
I had a chance to play it. I liked it very much. It felt pretty good. The face of the X Hot is made of 455 Carpenter steel. This is harder than the typical 17-4 steel found in normal fairway woods. It is also lighter, allowing for a better weight distribution across the face and increased swing speed.
It is a very smooth and classic looking club. The top is solid black with a glossy finish. It is very noticeable to me at address. It nearly feels like I'm trying to hit a driver. While this gives a player more swing speed resulting in a boost of distance, it takes a bit of getting use to. Don't worry, after a bucket of balls, you'll get the hang of it.
What I liked most about the Steelhead is how the face of the club rounds off at the bottom. Some fairway metals, like the Titleist 913FD Fairway Wood for sale, has a flatter bottom. Callaway's rounded bottom gives me the feeling that I can hit the X Hot off of any lie, no matter how thin it may be. Others may like think that the flat bottom enables them to sweep the ball off the ground, but I prefer a sharper, deeper leading edge that makes it easier to hit the ball higher up in the face.
As for the second use of the fairway wood, the Callaway X Hot is absolutely perfect. Once I teed up a ball and hit the X Hot, I was sold. I'm the kind of person that doesn't mind pulling the fairway wood out of the bag and hitting it on shorter or tighter par fours. Normally this comes at a sacrifice of distance. Well, I can tell you that the sacrifice isn't biblical any more.
With bunkers left and right, instead of hitting driver I pulled the X Hot driver for sale out and laced a beautiful draw down the middle of the fairway. I expected to see the ball about 30 yards short of the green but to my surprise I was only a few paces off the fringe. The guys in the group were surprised to see the ball that far and even more surprised when I told them it was a 3-wood. I've been around that green before, but only with a driver.
I worked with this club at the range and have gotten used to it. I have been very happy with the results off the tee and the fairway. This club is awesome and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their game. Source from: http://www.golfsalebuy.com/article-386-Its-time-to-Play-the-Callaway-X-hot-fairway-wood.html
