Callaway scored major points from many Golf Fans last year with its X-forged, X-20, FT-i and FT-5 drivers, woods and wedges.  For 2008, Callaway follows up with new products to compliment and improve their Tour proven line.

The 2008 Hyper X Drive, X Fairway, and FT-i Squareway

The Hyper X Driver uses Callaway’s Hyperbolic Face Technology^™ for increased forgiveness, more consistent ball speed and trajectory.  There will be a Tour and regular version and of course they didn’t leave out the Leftys.  What exactly is Hyperbolic Face Technology?  Well according to Callaway its:

"The strategic parabolic shaping of wall thicknesses dramatically improves impact efficiency and produces the largest effective hitting area of any all-titanium driver Callaway Golf has ever made. This generates higher ball speeds across the entire face for significant average distance gains on off-center hits."

The 2008 X Fairway has also had its internal weights tweaked and sports a deeper face and modified sole to help with setup and alignment at address.

We haven’t seen pictures of the FT-i Squareway but we do know some specifics.  It’s shaped like the FT-i Driver, the 3W is 208cc, and carries on with the Fusion technology with the carbon crown. 

The FT Fairway and FT hybrid have gone through some major changes as well.  Available in both Draw and Neutral configurations, they now both sport a stainless steel traditional hosel and a tungsten infused sole with a lower leading edge than the previous models.

According to Callaway:

"The only way that we could add the hosel without acting as a detriment to the clubs playability, was Fusion Technology and adding the dense soleplate in order to offset the weight that has been displaced.  Fusion technology allows us to be the only ones that can do this."

08′ Callaway Irons

Callaway introduces the  FT-ibrid.  This is a super game improvement club that Callaway hopes High Handicappers will use to bring more enjoyment to their game. 

 According to Callaway:
"Designed for the ultimate in forgiveness in its oversized design with an increased offset, a large effective hitting and a wide sole that improves turf interaction.  Fully Integrated Set Design – Seamless performance progression throughout the set provides consistent distance separation with optimal trajectories.
Fusion Technology
Lightweight Titanium Body, Heavy Tunite Sole Weighting, TPU Sensert Insert
Modified Tru-Bore , I-brid long irons CG 40% Deeper and 73% lower than Fusion Wide Sole"

 The 2008 BB06 is aimed at the High Handicapper who needs super game improvement in the long irons.  The long irons are made up ibrids to help get the ball off the turf and are fully integrated to offer optimal trajectories.  The 2008 FT -Iron now sports a new head shape to attract the better player, higher toe, and thinner topline.  This iron is aimed at the low to mid cappers with a modified True-bore.
