Hidden Help

Golf is hard. Truth be told, we make it harder than it has to be. We’ll buy drivers and putters the size of snow shovels, but for some reason, we insist on playing irons beyond our abilities.

Hawk, line and sinker

If the idea of unsheathing a lean, mean Storm Trooper inspired machine isn’t quite your style, allow Callaway to give you a taste of the dark side with their latest Razr Hawk Driver ($399).

For length's sake

A man’s quest for increasing his length, drive length that is, is a long and never-ending struggle.

Wet fairways? Got a shaft for it. Firm fairways? Got a shaft for it. Short & Tight? Got a shaft for it. Windy? Got a shaft for it. Almost sounds like a used car salesman, but the Callaway I-Mix FT-5 Driver specs couldn’t be farther from it. When pros are out on tour they have [...]

For those of you who enjoyed Callaway’s HX Hot ball the past couple of seasons know it’s benefits. Distance and accuracy. Two crucial elements in a golf ball, but when it comes to approaching the green the ball’s hardness comes out in full force – and we don’t mean this as a good thing. This [...]
