Callaway has announced their 2008 club lineup which GolfWRX recently covered.

However, there were two new additions to the line which were recently announced: the Sabertooth putter and the FT-i LGC driver. Both products capitalize on the success of previous designs but introduce new features to help improve performance.

Callaway’s FT-i driver was a huge hit in 2007, delivering on it’s promise tremendous forgiveness. However, better players with higher swing speeds often found that the FT-i produced too much backspin costing them distance in the wind and preventing roll on the ground. To address this, Callway has introduced a new model once only found on the professional golf tours. The FT-i Low Center of Gravity (LCG). The LCG places weight deeper and further back in the club head producing less spin with a higher intial launch which should decrease backspin. Here is Callway’s description, "Designed with input from Callaway Golf’s Tour players, the FT-i Tour LCG Driver has discretionary weight positioned lower and in the extreme corners, producing the highest moment of inertia (MOI) of any Callaway Golf driver."

Not only will the FT-i LCG feature a new internal weighting strategy, but it will also have a new Matrix Ozik X-Con as the stock shaft. Although Callaway has not formally confirmed this yet, the club’s high MSRP suggests that there will be a super high end shaft offering for this driver. The expected MSRP of the FT-i Tour LCG will be $675.

Odyssey’s White Hot XG insert features a softer, more consistent insert than previous White Hot models. The new line has a solid stable of traditional anser and mallet styles. However, Odyssey has pushed the evelope to produce new high MOI mallet styles which help alignment. The Sabertooth putter is the newest model in the White Hot XG line.

According to Callaway, "The Sabertooth putter features the most radical head shape in golf. The Sabertooth utlizes high-density Dual Fangs to position more weight to the outer-most limits, helping keep the putter on-line for wicked accuracy. Aiming Channels inside the fangs make lining up putts easier and the multi-layer White Hot XG insert, our most popular and most responsive, generates our softest feel with fine-tuned responsiveness."

Look for these and other new additions to the ’08 line at the PGA merchandise show scheduled for early 2008.

Details on Jason Day’s latest prototype Avoda iron setup

Jason Day is back in his V3 Avoda prototype irons. That’s not new for him. He’s been switching between irons this year to help as he goes through phases of what shots he’s looking to hit. One set will shape the ball more naturally for the Australian, while the other helps straighten up his ball flight.

What is new this week at the 2026 Memorial Tournament, hosted at Jack Nicklaus’ Muirfield Village Golf Club, is the concept of progressive swing weighting through Day’s iron setup. Each head has now been weighted using lead tape through the longer irons to increase the swing weight.

“We’ve seen that the majority of players, as the ball moves forwards in their stance, fractionally increasing the swing weight just helps delay the release a little bit,” said Tom Bailey, Avoda Golf Founder, when GolfWRX caught up with him to talk about Day’s newest endeavor. ” It gives them more time to get to that forward ball position.”

It’s a pretty simple philosophy for a company that does some really in-depth club concepts. Basically, the further back the ball position is, the more a golfer will need to release the clubhead earlier to square it up. Then, as the ball gets further forward in the stance, the time to release the club extends, and the golfer will need to do it later in the sequence.

Bailey likes to think of it as Avoda’s own take on moment of inertia matching, where clubs are built to require the same amount of force.

“We just did some testing over the last couple of weeks and found that he (Day) does get along better with a progressively heavier swing weight,” Bailey added. “He gets fractionally heavier by about half a swing weight, so he gets a few swing weights through the set and then through to his woods; they continue progressing.”

Day’s scoring clubs start at around D3 in swing weight, and then, with a little Andrew Von Lossow lead tape action, he transitions up to D5 in his 4-iron, which works perfectly as Day’s 7-wood is D6. Bailey told GolfWRX that Day’s woods continue to progress up to D9 in his driver.

The progressive weighting isn’t the only new option in Day’s bag for Muirfield Village. He’s added a brand-new sand wedge, or should it say sand iron.

“He’s hitting his pitching wedge and his 9-iron and going, these just go through the turf so good, I wish I could have this in my wedges as well,” Bailey added. “… So, we started with making him an iron-head gap wedge. And he used that straight away instead of a wedge-head … He called and said, ‘I don’t really open the face of my sand wedge much either, so why don’t I just have my sand wedge the same as my irons.’ So we built him the exact same head shape, and sole as he’s got on his irons.”
