Callaway Diablo Octane

Golf Monthly Verdict

Not only does the Callaway Diablo Octane head produce a driver-like flight it also makes an almost driver-like sound at impact. Quite a chunky head, this is perfect for off the tee use.

Key to the Callaway Diablo Octane is Callaway's Variable Face Thickness (VFT Technology); precision shaping of the stainless steel clubface should increase the size of the sweetspot. Standard and Tour models are available.

A top performer from the tee, creating a driver like ball flight.

The all steel head is not as forgiving as the composite RAZR Hawk.
