FT series
Callaway's Fusion Technology line's hybrid was a 2009 Golf Digest silver medal winner. The stainless steel FT comes in both draw and neutral models, both with a very conservative look at address which appeals to many players adding their first hybrid to their bag. The 2H only comes in a neutral configuration, while the 4H and 5H only come in draw models.
Diablo
The Golf Digest 2009 gold medal award winner was the performance category winner. Callaway introduced the Diablo line for the 2009 season, and the hybrid offering features the distinctive red hues synonymous with the line. The leading edge was lowered to help get the ball up in the air faster out of tougher lies.
Dual Runner Sole
Callaway uses a dual runner sole design in their hybrids to help the club interact better with the turf. The dual runner glides through both tall and short grass and keeps the club head stable and on line through the shot.
Control
The FT hybrid offers players more control over the trajectory and shape of their shots. For better players who want the consistency of a hybrid but with the control of a traditional long iron, the FT is the answer.
Forgiveness
The Diablo hybrid focuses on forgiveness on off-center hits and offering a high, repeatable trajectory. Most hybrid users get away from long irons because they struggle to hit them consistently. Forgiveness and distance is the main goal of these players, and the Diablo targets this audience.
