X Hot and X Hot Pro Drivers

Most major equipment companies offer at least two drivers in their new product lineups. There’s usually a larger, more forgiving model aimed at average golfers and a more compact model with lower-spin characteristics for players who have more swing speed.

Along with Callaway’s RAZR Fit Xtreme driver, Callaway is releasing its X Hot and X Hot Tour drivers for 2013, which take individualization a step further. Not only was each head made specifically for a certain type of player — each loft was engineered with a specific player in mind as well.

Callaway Year Club Model Shaft Description Shaft Manufacture Flex Shaft Wt. Dia Butt Dia. Replacement Shaft / MPF Code 2008 X-22 Irons X-22 Graphite Callaway A,R,S 65 - 75.370' 2B2M / 3B2M / 4B2M. While the X-Hot is the less technical model in the Callaway driver line-up, it still offers many great features. It is an all titanium head with Callaway's Opti-fit hosel. It comes in either the standard or pro models. The speed frame face is the real 'tech' behind this driver. Callaway created their fastest face for this driver and it shows.

  1. Verification that your Certified Pre-Owned purchase is 100% Callaway Golf. Accept no substitutes. Callaway Golf's unwavering commitment to innovation and the creation of new golf technologies is well-established. Because of the company's success in producing easy to use, forgiving golf clubs for every player, there are many imitations.
  2. Callaway drivers have been systematically engineered by the best research and development team in the industry. When you carry a Callaway golf driver in your bag you can step on the first tee with the confidence that your equipment will perform at a very high level.
  3. Re: x hot shaft adjustment And if you just want to know the mechanics of it, unscrew the torx far enough to lift up the middle portion and rotate it. Make sure lines on top and bottom match up, then use your callaway torque wrench to tighten it back up.
  4. Callaway were founded on the basis of hot faced titanium drivers and the Callaway X Hot driver takes us back to these glory days. The advance in manufacturing techniques has enabled Callaway to use a new titanium casting process to create a cast head with very thin walls.

The X Hot is the most forgiving driver of the pair. At 460cc, it is 20cc larger than the Pro version. It’s also 14 grams lighter than the Pro, which could allow slower swing-speed players to increase clubhead speed.

Dr. Alan Hocknell, vice president of R&D for Callaway, said data from Callaway’s fit bays across the country showed that most golfers who need more loft also need more draw bias, which is why the X Hot and X Hot Pro drivers have center of gravities that move toward the heel as the lofts increase, helping golfers square the club at impact. That draw bias is more severe in the X Hot driver line than it is in the X Hot Pro drivers, which are aimed at players who need less help squaring up the club face.

The X Hot Pro driver features a smaller head (440cc), with a deeper face that helps golfers reduce the spin on their tee shots. Unlike the X Hot, the X Hot Pro driver does not have any alignment markings on the crown, providing a clean at Callaway’s new dark grey matte finish.

Both all-titanium drivers use Callaway’s Forged Cup Face design, which Callaway says leads to high ball speeds across the face, and are adjustable with Callaway’s Opti-Fit Hosel System.

Face angle and loft

Callaway X Hot Pro Driver

The X Hot driver is designed to have a square face angle in its neutral setting. Setting the face angle to the open (O) position on the Opti-Fit Hosel will open the face to 2.5 degrees and subtract 1 degree of loft. A change to the closed (C) setting will set the face 1.5-degrees closed and increase loft 1 degree.

The X Hot Pro driver is designed to have a face that is 0.5-degrees open in neutral. Setting the face angle to the open (O) position on the Opti-Fit Hosel will open the face to 3.5 degrees and subtract 1 degree of loft. A change to the closed (C) setting will set the face 1-degree closed and increase loft 1 degree.

Specs

The X Hot is available is lofts of 9.5, 10.5, 11.5 and 13 degrees. It comes stock with a proprietary True Temper Project X Velocity shaft in light, regular and stiff flexes. The standard length is 46 inches with a swing weight of D3.

The X Hot Pro is available in 9, 10.5 and 12 degree lofts, and comes stock with a “real deal” Project X Velocity shaft in the following flexes: 5.5 (64 grams — 4.6 degrees of torque), 6.0 (65.1 grams — 4.7 degrees of torque) and 6.5 (76 grams — 4.0 degrees of torque). The standard length is 45.75 with a swing weight of D3.

Fairway Woods

Callaway’s X Hot and X Hot Pro fairway woods look much like the company’s previous fairway woods, but changes to materials and construction make them top-tier performers.

The new fairway woods borrow the forged cup face design from Callaway drivers, which moved the weld line away from the face to allow Callaway more control over face thickness and tolerances. They also employ 455 Carpenter steel faces, which paved the way for faces to be constructed as thin as 0.047 inches in certain areas, 40 percent thinner than the previous RAZR X Black fairway woods.

These changes give X Hot and X Hot Pro fairway woods performance that is near the USGA limit without having to increase the size of the clubhead or add a slot to the sole or crown of the club.

“The reason we didn’t want to add a slot to the front of the sole is because the weight we would be removing is in a pretty good place,” said Evan Gibbs, manager of performance analysis and club configuration for Callaway. “We also wanted to keep it small so it would have the versatility and functionality of a true fairway wood.”

Both fairway woods have what Callaway calls dynamic weight projection, a structure with a “weight” that hangs over the cup face (shown in the video above) and moves the CG in the fairway woods lower and further forward, optimizing launch angle and spin.

The X Hot Pro has a more forward and CG than the standard model, giving it a flatter trajectory with less spin. It also has more camber and less offset for more versitility. Both models feature a modern version of Callaway’s warbird sole for enhanced turf interaction from less-than desirable lies.

Specs

The X Hot comes in lofts of 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 and 25 degrees, and is available with a proprietary Project X Velocity shaft in light, regular and stiff flexes. The standard length is 43.5 inches (3 wood) with a standard swing weight of D3.

The X Hot Pro comes in lofts of 13.5, 15, 17 and 19 degrees, and is available with a “real deal” True Temper Project X Velocity shaft in the following flexes: 5.5 (70 grams — 5 degrees of torque), 6.0 (74 grams — 5 degrees of torque) and 6.5 (75 grams — 5 degrees of torque). The standard length is 43 inches (3 wood) with a swing weight of D3.

The X Hot fairway woods have a square face angle, while the X Hot Pro fairway woods will sit 1-degree open at address.

Japanese forged irons are famous for their quality and precision, but with the Vega Mizar line including the Mizar Tour irons, they can now be known just as much for their technology as their great forged feedback.

The Mizar Tour irons are part of the second generation of Vega’s Mizar line, which also includes the Mizar Plus, a performance-driven game-improvement set. Unlike the Plus version, which features an unsupported maraging steel face, the Mizar Tours are targeted at players looking for performance and feel, so the Tours have a constant thickness (3.5mm) soft carbon steel face for improved feel and shotmaking control.

The Mizar Tour irons are a multi-piece iron, but there is no way you would ever guess that based on their sound or feel—they’re amazingly soft and solid feeling. Indeed, they’re as solid as any single piece forged club I have ever played, and I have played quite a few. On that note, if you are looking for more of a blade-style club, Vega makes those too!

The “secret sauce” of the Mizar Tour is in the way the weight distribution works—designers progressively shift the internal mass for ultimate shotmaking in the set. The progressive weight (as described below) positions a small cavity within the back of the club to precisely locate the CG. This little trick not only creates additional forgiveness but maximizes workability up and down the entire set where you want it.

Even with the shifting cavities, the CG (center of gravity) is still located right in the middle of each clubhead for precise performance. From a club design perspective, one of the often overlooked pieces of the iron design puzzle is the axis of rotation around the shaft and overall blade length. The closer the shaft is to the center of mass, the more face control a player has. Pair that with an iron that has very little offset, and you have the best of both worlds—ball speed and workability.

The topline and total blade length is a smidge thicker and longer than a traditional “blade” iron, but that’s not the point—they should be, they’re not a blade! Vega already has fantastic classic looking blades in their iron lineup and the Mizar line is not designed to compete in that territory, they are a completely different animal and they 100 percent deliver on performance.

The amazing thing that the Mizar Tour irons do, that you’ll very rarely in a set of irons in the “Players Tech” category, is they have an extremely square topline matched with a square toe. This shape is usually reserved for only the smallest of blade and players clubs, but with the Mizar Tour, you get that true players look with technology to help when you might miss a little.

Specs & Availability

When it comes to lofts, undoubtedly yes, the Vega Mizar Tours are strong for a players iron, but the mass shifting and Higher CG (that actually creates spin) keeps the ball flight high and the ball hitting the desired trajectory windows all the way through the set. Even with the longer irons and a moderate clubhead speed, I have no issues elevating the long irons and getting good consistent yardage gapping in clubs.

Mizar Tour Iron Specs

The Mizar Tour irons I tested were shafted with Shimada Tour Mid 115 gram shafts, but like all Vega irons, they can be custom fit and built through any number of available retailers or directly from Vega Golf at Professional Golf Europe Distribution.
