Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this driver with the intent to resell it for a little profit(Dicks was having a double-your-trade-in deal). I'm a 15-16 handicap, and was previously hitting a Titelist 907D2. I hit off the tee with a slight natural draw, but mostly straight. However, when I miss, it's always to the right (slice). I was never a real believer in buying new equipment to help your golf game. Fix the swing, not the club, right?
Just for kicks, I put this in my bag for a few rounds, and let's just say it's been in there for 3 months now. This club helps IMMENSELY with off center hits. There are times I know I'm barely grabbing a piece of the ball with the toe, or clipping it with the heel. The club still manages to shrug it off and get the ball moving forward. My bad slices have turned more into fades, as in, they're not in the rough and under the trees, but right on the edge of the fairway. I'm not saying this club is a miracle worker. I can still manage to let a nasty shot loose, but for those XX% of shots, that are just so close to being playable 2nd shots after your drive, this club does everything in its power to make sure you have that clear 2nd shot.
The stock shaft is suprisingly not sucky. Aldila Harbenero (sp?).My Tileist was shafted with an Aldila DVS, which I liked. This shaft has similar flight characteristics, so it suits me. Ball launch is mid-high for me.
Overall distance has greatly improved. The face of this club is what I believe people call "hot". If you manage to hit dead center, you can literally feel the ball compressing into the face of the club, and in turn, the face exploding during the release. Previous avg. driving distance IN THE AIR was around 240, with roll around 260. With the Diable Edge, I'm average 250-260yd air, with roll 280-290. I've blasted my first 300+ yd drives with this club as well. Feels weird making a 70 yd pitch up to the green on a 380 yd par 4.
Sounds great too. Not obnoxious like a lot of the game improvement clubs out there (FtIq, monster XLS, Nike Sumos, etc.). Why the 4 stars? It DOES have a weird little triangle shape at the back side, so it's not a true "pear" shape. Overall, it is quite large, although It's probably because I'm used to playing a 907D2. Honestly, I don't even notice it anymore, and the payoff is more then worth it. Although, some purists and snobs might dismiss the club entirely just for that fact.

Product Description:
Taking top honors in Golf Digest's 2010 Hot List, this standard version of the Callaway Diablo Edge Driver offers superior face technology, a higher MOI, a deeper CG, and better aerodynamics--all adding up to the longest, most accurate all-titanium driver Callaway has made yet. It features a unique construction that fuses four titanium elements together for optimal weight efficiency and longer ball flight, and improved aerodynamics for reduced drag in the down swing. It's complemented by an Adela Habanero high-performance graphite shaft, which provides incredible feel and performance.
Callaway's standard version of the Diablo Edge Driver. Standard vs. Tour Models
Diablo Edge Drivers feature two unique shapes, but all the same technology. Both drivers offer a 4-piece fused titanium design, a chemically milled hyperbolic face cup, and an aerodynamic body shape.
The standard model features a core Callaway technology (S2H2), which removes weight from the hosel and repositions it in the perimeter of the golf club for more stability.
The Tour model has a full-length hosel, less face progression and an optimized center of gravity that provides the look, feel and performance highly skilled golfers demand.
Callaway Core Technology: S2H2
Callaway's patented Short, Straight, Hollow, Hosel (S2H2) shortened the length of the hosel, allowing weight to be moved lower and to the more useful perimeter area of the clubhead. This bore-through design (Modified Tru-Bore Technology) allows the shaft tip to extend through the hosel and clubhead to the sole, improving feel and control by moving the tip of the shaft closer to the center of the clubface.
4-piece Fused Titanium Design
The use of Fused Titanium in a 4-piece modular design produces the most weight efficient all titanium driver Callaway's ever created. Each part is precision-formed and accurately fused together, allowing weight to be positioned optimally, delivering distance-enhancing, penetrating ball flight.
Chemically Milled Hyperbolic Face Cup
An acid chemical reduction process selectively removes unwanted material from the face cup for precision thickness control, resulting in our most consistently high ball speeds ever. And the strategic hyperbolic shaping of the face thickness dramatically improves impact efficiency and produces a larger effective hitting area--resulting in less disparity between the balls you hit in the center of the clubface and the balls you don't.
The sweet spot on a Callaway club with Hyperbolic Face Technology on the left, and a traditionally faced club on the right.
Compared to standard clubs, ball speed on off-center impacts from this club with Hyperbolic Face Technology will be noticeably greater. This contributes significantly to total distance on off-center hits.
Aerodynamic Body Design
Callaway reduced drag in the downswing for higher impact speeds by using an aerodynamic body design that refines and optimizes all edge transitions. This reduces drag up to 8 percent versus other 460cc driver heads.
