Callaway Diabolo driver

Callaway’s brand new Diablo and FT-9 woods are just a couple of brand new products we have spotted after just a couple of hours at Golf Europe 2008. The show is full of brand new equipment from brands including Callaway, Odyssey and Yonex.

Callaway’s new line-up includes the Diablo driver and fairway woods which are a a completely different shape to anything we have seen before. We will bring you more of an update and after our meeting with Callaway tomorrow in the meantime you can see pictures of the driver from the show. The FT-9 is a progression from the impressive FT-5. Also on show were three new irons from Callaway including the great looking X-22. Again we will bring you more information tomorrow. Odyssey have released a number of new modern mallets including a brand new 2-ball model that feels incredibly stable

We also spotted the new VMX range from Yonex which includes a new VMX driver, shallow headed fairway wood and irons. Read more about all of these products when we report live from Golf Europe tomorrow.

I just got a chance to demo this Driver at the Demo Day here in Orlando at Orange county National Demo Day. I have struggled with all the drivers I have ever hit. I currently play a titleist 907 D2. I can hit this club 2 out of every 10 times. On demo day I made my way around to all the vendors, and I had them put me on the driver they felt best fit my swing, and had them track my swing with their computers. I was never able to hit a ball that was worth anything. I then made my way to Callaway to demo the new FT9, immediately the Callaway guys had me swing my Driver and then they set me up with the Diablo. Wow... 9 out of 10 were perfect. My swing speed was 104mph, ball speed was 152mph, ball spin was 2989rpm, 12Â° Launch, 266' carry into the wind with 287' rollout, This driver is Amazing. I recommend trying it out if you can.
