Callaway X Fairway Wood Golf Club

Callaway has always had a reputation for making playable fairway woods for weekend warriors; this club definately continues that tradition.

When I started with this grand game/addiction called golf, I loved all the game improvement features of Callaway fairway woods. The offset and soft shafts corrected my slice. The S2H2 design helped me release the clubhead. The VFT (variable face thickness) helped off-center hits maintain respectable distance.

Then I got better and all those Callaway slice-compensating features started working against me. Once I learned to swing correctly I started hooking the heck out of them. I re-shafted to a stiffer tip shaft and that helped a little. At least my hooks stayed on the hole I was playing! The problem was that my new tip stiff shaft lowered my ball flight a great deal. I was now scared to death of trying to carry a hazard.

So the search for a new fairway wood began. I tried Ping. I tried Cobra. I tried Taylor Made. I sold the Ping. I sold the Cobra. I broke my Taylor Made over a tree trunk and lied to my wife - told her it was an accident. (Irish temper - whoops!)

Then Callaway comes out with this little gem and it piqued my interest. Much less offset, a Fujikura shaft, a sole design that really makes sense.....hmmmm maybe worth a try. No kidding folks, three balls on the range and SOLD! We have a WINNER!

(Sidebar here - I play a Fujikura Speeder shaft in my driver and it really is worth the price. I know 2 bills is steep but how can you put a price on confidence off the tee?)

Anyway, back to the X....
The torque and tip stiffness of the shaft is just right for a mid 90s to low 100s swing speed. I can hit a fade, I can hit a draw, I can hit it straight. Best of all, I can hit it high. The S2H2 and VFT features are still there which is nice 'cause I'll always mis-hit one now and again. And the sole- what an idea!!! The two-point contact thing is a stroke of genius. It really helps you to line up the shot. All you have to do is place the club behind the ball and it seats itself. Now simply grip the club and take your stance and you're lined up with the ball in the correct position. It's almost impossible to hit fat or thin with this sole design.

Just a word of warning to the high handicapper - this ain't no Big Bertha. If you tend to slice the ball you might want to consider something else. (The Steelhead 3's are very good at helping a slice and can be had for a song. Ditto the ERC.) But for those of you out there who left Callaway as your game improved, take a look at this club. If you can, demo one for a round so you can really feel the benefits of this X sole design on different lies.

Good luck and many happy putts for eagles!!

the best fairway wood I've ever hit. I've shot both graphite and steel shafts, and the club is always excellent.

This fairway wood is sooooooooo easy to hit. Has a great feel when the ball jumps off the clubface. Very easy to work the ball left or right. The best fairway wood I have hit in a long time, from the fairway, tee box, or the rough.

Love this golf club. Hitting the ball farther then thought possible for me the average golfer. I bought it because I have a set of Callaway irons and the 460 driver. All are excellent and have a great sound when hitting the sweet spot. I also bought club because of the excellent EBay seller.

Upon seeking replacements for my 10 + year-old Orlimar fairway woods, I hit a Titleist (can't recall what model) and a Callaway X 3-wood at Roger Dunn Golf. The Titleist felt like I was swinging a steel rod and the Callaway felt balanced, so being that they have a 90-day return (for store credit) policy, I chose the Callaway for $99.

The first time I hit it was on the course. I was pleasantly surprised. It swung easy, hits were consistently on center, balls went straight and long, and it even had a nice ping to it. In three rounds, I hit three par fives in regulation from about 220-250 yards, something that would rarely happen with the old Orlimars. So, since the 3-wood played very well, I sought a matching 5-wood and found one for about $100 (including shipping) on e-Bay. Haven't played it on the course yet, but I'm sure it won't disappoint. I absotively posilutely LOVE this club!!!

PROS: Deep face (for better contact surface), stock Fujikura shaft (shafts do make a difference!), balanced weighting (making it easy to swing), looks good at address, reasonably priced (used), and has a nice sound to it.

CONS: Somewhat difficult to get a used model in good condition. Easy to find on e-Bay but hard to win at a good price. Very few found at Roger Dunn used.

good golf club,with Callaway you know that the product has been made to best possible result for the money.

very nice e-bay can kiss my ass I am not intersted in spending all my time doing this nonsense.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ok, it took me awhile to convert to new technology before, but my 3 Iron is now collecting dust. Approach shots to long par fours now hold the green.

love the club it was what he said it was verry good to deal with his pic was good i would buy somthing from him agin

should not have bought old technology buy new tech. just find it used to save some money! the old way of club making is alot differnt than the new waY.
Titanium is alot better than stainless steel.

I tested a new Calaway X Fairway wood at a Golf shop and knew that I loved the UST V Force shaft. When I saw this club listed I decided to upgrade from my 3 yr old Titleist 3Wood. Whe the club arrived I liked its looks. At the range I was not able to hit even 1 shot that felt solid. Don't know why as I hit my Titleist solid about 80-90% of the time. I do not like this club and suspect that there is a flaw somewhere. I will look further into this problem. Perhaps I will ask one of the pros at the GolfSmith.

I have been playing golf for nearly 25 years. I've hit countless clubs over tose years. Some high ends have promised to correct a slice, hook, etc. My friend bought this club & let me use it one day. The grip felt good, the face is shallow, and the balance felt really good. Then I hit it. WOW!!!! I hit it 245 yards dead straight. Normally my 3 woods that I've hit only have traveled 225 yards, with an unnatural fade to them. This 3 wood seems a little heavy on the bottom, but it helps you to hit down & through the ball, especially in light rough. I would highly recomend this 3 wood to any type of player, but buy the right kind of flex for your swing speed.

This Callway X Eleven Wood does not disappoint. It is becoming a rare club and I had to compete heavily against others who knew its value. I have the 3, 5, 7, and 9. I have compared this to a top Callaway hybrid and can still hit it more consistently.

The seller sent this club as fast as could be expected.

Sweet little club. Straight forgiving, and long what else could you ask for. Callaway got it right again.

Hot! is the right adjective to describe this club. Easy to hit, and long. Almost as long as my driver. I average 250-260 with my driver and I can hit this club 220-230 with better confidence. Makes it an easy decision when my driver isn't giving me that loving feeling. Off the deck? If you can't hit this club off the deck then you will have trouble with any fairway metal.

Like the product and it was priced right. I have many Callaway golf clubs and needed this one to complete a set of fairway woods. The product review from the seller was accurate and the item filled my need

Great golf club. Easy to hit out of the rough, even in deeper grass. Sets up well, too. Can be hit out of a fairway bunker pretty easily. Just a great club to have in your bag. Versatile, multiple uses, takes the place of at least two clubs

Took it the range the day I got it and I can't wait to get on the course with it. Very satisfied with the Hybrid. Very forgiving and feels great when you hit the sweet spot and knock it straight down the middle. I hit it from the tee and also from the grass, both shots made me grin.

The 3 wood was just like you said. It is in great condition, also the head cover is in great shape.

Sets up easy and very smooth hitting out of the rough and fairways. I was having a hard time getting any distance from my fairway woods and the Callaways helped me tremendously.

Club hits well, the price was 1/2 that of retail. This 3 wood offers distance and accuracy for even those who have just recently picked up a golf club.

This is a great club that has a heavy head creating a fast head speed with each swing. Great shaft tour stiff.

VERY solid hybrid with great balance and feel (duh, it is a Callaway after all). Clubhead is slightly larger (from heel to toe) than the Big Bertha Heavenwood or Fusion FT hybrids with a slightly lower center of gravity, but all 3 are pure keepers. My only complaint about this club (and the FT) is the fact that the painted surface along the leading edge of the painted crown tends to scratch more than with the Heavenwood, so if you like for your clubs to always look 'new', then don't hit many popups.
