I did notice a significantly higher ball flight(as expected) with the Xhot(9.5) vs Cobra S3(8.5). The one thing i need to correct is my shaft. Slightly less forgiving that my Cobra S3, club not for everyone, but definitely us able for 10 handicap players or lower. I am able to play a cut or draw easily with this club. I(6 handicap) played a round yesterday, on Day 1 with this club I hit 9/13 fairways from the farthest back tee's. Still get decent yardages during off center hits. Performance - Very powerful club, distance is great when struck well. More of a old school traditional design, which I like, maked the golfer do all the work. Only for face angle, open, closed neutral. Looks - 8/10, I do like the Matte Grey crown color, black face, black sole.įeel - Feels strong off the face, yet with a dull sound, very responsive face, club tells you when you've hit it well and when you've hit it slightly off center.Īdjustability - No adjustability when it comes to loft. This makes scoring slightly difficult, as you can imagine.Great Club, recommend for 10 handi players or better.
So, about 2-4 shots from penalties and another 5-6 from bad lies. I give up strokes off the tee from time to time, either from penalties or hitting in the junk. Like most low-mid handicaps, I have potential, but I’ve got work to do. I used to be Much better, but, pretty good is my current condition. I’m a 10 and change handicap and a fairly decent driver. I don’t hit balls rapid-fire style when I’m on the range, so the most balls I would hit per session was 150, with the usual being 100 or so. I did this repeatedly over the course of approximately 2 hrs for each range session and would switch out with my irons periodically to restore my tempo.
#Callaway x hot driver loft adjustments drivers#
My range routine with the drivers consisted of me hitting five drives with my driver, then five drives with the Rogue, then hitting the third driver. I say “drivers” because I hit my current driver- a Taylormade R9 circa 2010 or so and another new driver I was also testing for another review. For each session, I would warm up with my sand wedge or sand wedge and 8-iron, then jump into the drivers. My testing of the Rogue driver consisted of multiple range sessions (4 in all) and two rounds of golf. The ball seems to stay in the air forever. (Taylormade R9) Off-center strikes don’t lose near as much distance as my R9. I have no doubt that draws are just as easy to hit for those that have that skill set.ĭefinitely longer than my current driver. With this setting, fades were the shot of choice and were relatively easy to hit. I kept the original settings for loft (10.5*) and a neutral face. Shaping : During testing, my swing path couldn’t help but produce a fade. The face feels Really springy and hot, and the ball seems to jump off the face. It’s hard for me to describe, but it’s kind of a tight-hollow sound on impact. I’ve always thought my R9 felt and sounded pretty good. The sole of the club has cool design features and the face is classic Callaway- which I like. The crown has a little of the carbon fiber look, but the finish is mostly black, overall. the bright green color of the original Epic. I much prefer the aqua color of the Rogue vs. Club Tested: 2018 Callaway Rogue Driver – RH – 10.5* loft -Project X HZRDUS Yellow 60g Graphite Stiff Flex – Grip: Golf Pride – New Dec Platinum/Black/White Teal (46.5g)
