callaway x hot driver Anyone tried one

[kiwitown]

As per title, looking to replace the ZL Cobra

[simmsy]

yep have given on a hit at golfbox.
very nice!

if i didn't love my RF so much the xhot would replace it. performed better for me than the xhot pro and RFE.

it was the longest of the 3 for me and felt better.

I have the X Hot 9.5* with Black Tie, had the X Hot Pro and did not like it as much and swapped it over. Not quite as long for me as a well hit RBZ Xcon6 but straighter, great sound when you hit it and great feel!

I've got the regular X Hot with the stock stiff red shaft. I'd been averaging about 210-220m with my Cobra S3 which was wonderfully forgiving, and long if I really middled it. But the Callaway is even more forgiving, and longer. I played the Vines yesterday and smashed one 285m with no wind assistance! It's just so confidence inspiring, still thinking maybe the upgraded blue 5.5 shaft was the way to go but I absolutely love love love my X Hot.
If you hit it out of the toe or heel (as I do regularly) the club gives you feedback, but doesn't punish you much at all for the mishits. The Cobra's E9 face is forgiving but this is something else.

I'd previously demoed the Anser, G20 and Razr Fit Xtreme. As soon as I swung the X Hot I was sold, it just "fit" me wonderfully. Driver has gone from being my high handicap fear to being my favourite club to hit.

I picked up a standard X Hot recently, with the stock project X shaft. Initial impressions are that it is easy to hit and a fairway finder with good distance. It looks much better at address than I thought it would, and it isn't silly long (shaft length) and heavy like some. Next trail will be with an upgraded shaft, AD DI 7 and 7m3 from the Razr Fits on call. At this stage I am rating it ahead the the Razr Fits in terms of ease of use and accuracy.

How do you figure you hit it 285m Mubs? 311 yards is uhh a long long way without any wind..:D

Super hard fairways.

Laser and GPS belonging to others said so, as I said I still made bogey so it didn't mean **** but it did feel nice to hit one that far :) Point being that my average drive with the X Hot over the Cobra has gone up 10m+, and my best hits are 20-30m longer when I middle it. Best with the S3 was about 260m (according to GPS).

I'm not waving my willy around, I am shite and shot 101 for the round, I'm just pointing out that this driver is looong and also very forgiving for a hacker like me.

Mate i hope it gives me the same results its given you, my mate has the Razr Fit Extreme and i just can't get it to work for me, but i love the look of the X Hot.

I'd heard so much about the other drivers and especially the Razr Fit Xtreme, but I just couldn't hit it reliably. I think the stock shaft is too much for me and I'm not consistent enough with strike to use a 440cc head. I need all the clubhead money can buy!

To be honest, the X Hot wasn't even on my radar but the young guy at the pro shop insisted I give it a go. I hit it last after the Fit and the Anser and from my first ball, I was sold on it. Different clubs suit different people but I went in expecting nothing, and it blew me away.

Pretty doubtful at this stage as I need to get my car fixed next week and it's a 3 day job, so would be getting fixed from or on Wednesday either way unfortunately :(

Let me know how you go and what they do :)

[kiwitown]

will do
