Innovative Callaway Golf Club Technologies

Ely Callaway started his business three decades ago to improve the way the game was played. From his earliest developments with the driver to the latest collaborations with Roger Cleveland, the Callaway brand became an industry leader in game improvement technology.

S2H2

In 1988, Callaway Golf introduced the S2H2 irons. The short, straight hollow hosel system was designed to add control to irons. The S2H2 technology shortens the shaft and moves weight toward the perimeter of the club face, creating a more forgiving club.

Big Bertha

A wide-bodied stainless steel wood, the Big Bertha revolutionized the driver. The original 190cc design expanded the hitting area, and the unique weighting created the most forgiving driver on the PGA Tour.

Variable Face Thickness

Introduced in 2000, VFT pushes weight across the club face and places it in the ideal position for trajectory and distance control.

2 Ball Alignment

Callaway's Odyssey brand released the 2-ball putter in 2001 and sparked a revolution in the industry. The design gives the appearance of three balls at address to aid alignment.

Fusion Technology

Callaway designers use Fusion Technology to move weight across the club head to support distance and accuracy. The FT design places the center of gravity in the ideal position for a variety of players.

Industry Experts Debate What Makes an Iron Easy to Hit
by Mike Chwasky
What makes an iron easy to hit? It's a question golfers and designers have been asking since the days of the Nicoll Cleek and Forrester Mashie. When it comes to drivers and woods, it's not nearly as mysterious. Big, light club heads, long graphite shafts and modern materials are easy to spot, and their functions are relatively obvious. With irons it's a different story. At first glance, most irons are almost indistinguishable from one another. Yes, some have longer blades or more offset, but for the most part, irons don't look that much different than they did 25 years ago.
