Verdict
Many Callaway fans have waited a long time for the brand to produce a set of muscle backs. The heads are seriously intimidating to look down on, but the feel from the centre of the club is incredible. Not for everyone – particularly at this price – but seriously good ball-strikers will not be disappointed.
