Callaway X Series Fairway Wood Review

Each club in the line is a comfortable stick that picks the ball up from the turf well. Their strong leading edges and solid kick points get the ball up quickly. The 3- and 5-woods are especially solid performers off the tee, while 7- and 9-woods have exceptional rescue club capabilities.

The only visible flaw of the X Series woods is their tendency to produce high shots, especially for players with steep swing patterns. This can result in shot-shaping limitations and losses in distance.

X Series clubs are superior fairway woods with strong game-improvement characteristics and their ability to get the ball airborne quickly. Advance players will fare best opting for an extra stiff shaft with minimal torque. Most clubs are still available from various dealers for about $75 to $150 (2009).
