If you want to hit RELIABLE 280+ yd drives from the sweet spot, and 230 yd drives into the right side of the fairway on toe hits, and draws or fades as needed, then THIS IS THE ONE. Just make sure that you get the right shaft for your swing.

The club was a birthday present to myself, so the shop let me try a couple of clubs. I first demoed the 3.2 shaft(testosterone talking there) and hit balooning straight drives of 240 yards. The club was consistent, but not worth the money.

Then I hit the 3.1 and WOW. Drive after drive as low flying bb's towards the far distance. Use an even tempo and a moderate tee height and let everybody else tell you how good your drive was!!! When the swing fits the shaft, the results are astounding.

Despite the "Pro Series" moniker, I found the club easy to hit and control. The increased swingweight allows for greatly improved feel, and a very solid sound at impact. Yet another club that Callaway will be "prying from my cold dead hands".

Played some rounds with a friend's Hawkeye to take it for a test drive. Great distance but not sure it's worth the dough. Tested the Firesole as well and found it comparable in all areas.

Model Reviewed: Callaway Hawkeye 9* driver

I am new at this, about one year, and have had little luck with drivers. I have relied on my strong 3+ Steelhead to hit off the tee with so so results for consistency. However, I had the opportunity to rent the Hawkeye with regular graphite shaft from the factory while in Florida. To my amazement, I am able to hit this driver fairly well and fairly straight. I suspect this may be the case owing to the lightness of the club overall- helps me get around quicker and truer. In any event, it's the easiest to use driver I have been able to find. For about $260 I got one from Ebay - almost new.

Model Reviewed: Hawk Eye 9* w/ stiff graphite

I have had numerous drivers in my bag, but I have to say that the Hawk Eye is by far the best driver I have owned. I don't understand the logic behind the other players, who say that this is a "duck-hook" club. The reason that some people hook the ball is because during the swing, they let their hands overextend through the ball. Keep your mechanics in check and you will enjoy this club immensely. I routinely hit the ball an average distance of 275-285 yards, but can poke it out to over three-hundred as well. This club's forgiving nature can let me put a little more into my swing without worrying about losing control. This club has a great balance and is extremely light. Like I said before, this is by far the best driver I have played yet. Ely scored a home run with this club.

Model Reviewed: Hawkeye VFT 10 deg.

The new Hawkeye VFT replaces the older Hawkeye. It has a larger head with a deeper face and a new shaft that fits into a plastic sleeve on the hosel. Mine's 10 degrees and I regripped it with a Winn grip. Its both super long and super forgiving. Its as long or longer than any driver I've hit, with outstanding trajectory. Good swings produce jaw-dropping results. Bad swings stay in play and still go fairly far. Almost never get a bad hook or slice from this club. Good hits feel and sound great. Just edged out the Taylor 360 (also an outstanding club) for me when I was buying my new driver. Costs an arm and a leg, though- but its about the same as the 300 series or TiSi and you get what you pay for.

Solid feel and great distance. Finally new VFT and ERCII's are bringing this club price down to earth. It's giving me about 10 more yards than my old Great Big Bertha 9 degrees. Yah... baby!!

I first looked at the bottom of this club and saw a 699$ price tag and i thought how damn good this club must be.
Until i hit it....and found that all it is, is an overpriced piece of junk! I was extremely disappointed by this club. I also hit callaway's irons and was also disappointed. Then i hit lower priced Goliath irons hit further and more accurate! Money doesn't make a club! Although the conection sound was extremely goodon the driver!

Model Reviewed: Callaway Hawkeye Driver

Found the hawkeye to be an excellent driver if you are wishing to add an extra 15 to 20 yards to your drive with out giving up to much accuaracy. Had to learn to keep my club speed down as was trying to kill the ball, but once I slowed down a little and just relaxed and hit the ball I found the hawk eye to be an excellent driver and would recommend it to anyone who can afford such.

After a two seasons of playing this club, I feel that this club can be played by any handicap. It has the trademark Callaway look, with a new sole, it's supposed to reduce turf drag. I was shocked that this driver had such feel, just the opposite of the Callaway Great Big Bertha, bad shaft, bad club. (Even after I put in a UST Pro-Force shaft). Anyway the grip is fine, I think it is a Callaway version of the Golf Pride Tour Velvet, fine grip. The only gripe I have is that the shaft is crap! Classic Callaway to put a poor Aldila shaft in a quality club head. I reshafted with a UST Pro Force, great combo! Overall a very long driver with good accuracy and great forgivness.

Very satisfying. Big sweet spot, you can feel how good the shots are, compared to clubs with smaller sweetspots. My distance improved. Very light club, easy to swing. I use a regular flex shaft only, and it feels okay.
