Fairway is suppose to be hotter than RBZ but smaller in all dimensions. Many people thought RBZ was too large.

Now this sounds promising, hated the RBZ Tour off the deck...too big!!

Definitely smaller than the rbz...at least the tour version is

I was told soon on the X-Hot.  I have pics, but was instructed not to post or my rep would lose his job.  I can also confirm that the X-Hot Pro 3 wood was longer than the RBZ...by a good 8-10 yards.

So maybe I should just get like a 13.5* 3 wood in the X Hot and forgo the driver altogether? Seriously...if I could hit it 275 (current driver is in the 285 range) and know it's going straight, I'm fairly certainly I'd give it a go. Can I hit a driver 300 yards? Yes, I've GPS'd it before without any aid, but I also know that's not the norm for me. 275 yards and in the fairway? I'd take it all day long man.

I wish they would have worked for me I just could not hit them. tried different shafts just never got them to work for me. been gaming a I-20 20 degree and loving it for now.

So essentially re-branded to X Muscleback instead of RAZR X Muscleback I assume?

any 4 woods upcoming?  a 4 wood razr fit and a 21° utility iron would be mighty tempting

Me and you...we need to get together sometime because I'm with ya!

I'm already thinking about an 18* & 21* X Utility to go right after my 4 wood. If they're going to be adjustable though, I have a feeling we'll have to choose between the 3 wood and the 5 wood. I don't care much so long as my distance gaps are covered and I can hit the fairway wood 240+ and straight the majority of the time.

I posted earlier regarding the X-Hot and how I might just get a low lofted 3 wood and not even carry a driver. Seriously, if I can hit it "long enough" and find the fairway more times than not, I'm all about it.

[Padre John]

Looking forward to trying the three wood. Hope they are better  rhan the Adams xtd I played last summer. Kept losing one of the weights. Very frustrating!!

Will that be Callaways marketing claim? 10y longer than RBZ? Who needs a driver, 27y longer than a 3w from 2 yrs ago

[Dugan408]

830 Cor has my full attention when it comes to fairway woods. I wonder if it will have a titanium face.

[JB lefty]

Lets just hope they come out with a 4 wood for the lefties. Something around the 17 degree loft and a 13.5 fairway driver type deal.

[dtorn4]

i wish they would bring back the strong 4

[hayzooos]

Steelhead Plus 4+ wood. Best fairway wood I've ever hit until I got the TEE CB1. No joke, that thing was beautiful. Loft of a 3 wood, length of a 4 wood, and the head size of a 5 wood if I remember right.

Which today they would probably make a 'Tour' version.

No. The claim will be MORE audacious than that.  And true.

Longer and easier to hit from the deck? Longer and straighter? Longer and...bringing sexy back?

Last one was a reach, but you have me intrigued. Especially because of the bolded part.

I heard the only people who won’t want it are people who do not want to hit their 3 wood THIRTY yards longer.

[ekrall]

I was able to hit X-hot driver 3 wood and pro 3-wood.  Extremely impressive offerings.... The pro 3-wood was at least 15 yds longer than 910 I currently game (kalil stiff).. I know people often exaggerate distances but I am convinced this is longer than RBZ.... New project X velocity shaft (white) felt stiff but not boardy,  Xhot series has gray metallic finish, dark bottom with decent graphics and white shaft.... I will comment that the sound from the driver sounds like a gunshot very impressive, different than any other drivers I have heard... BTW lofts offered in pro included 15, 17, 19 and I was told fairway woods will b offered in down from 7-woods to 11-woods

Definitely longer. Great design story. And MUCH longer off the deck. And not a piddly 10 yards longer.

I wanted to like the RBZ tour, cannon off the tee but it needed a sole design like the 07 tp tour spoon.....thus the chg to the xtd.  Added some lead tape to the head of the xtd + a kai li and BAM!!!!!
