This has to be the best fairway wood I've owned. After demoing the club, I bought it right away. It looks nice and performs evern better. It has a loud 'ping' when you hit it...very cool. The lower leading edge allows for crip shots from the fairway. Great club, very satisfied! It's a little pricy for a fairway wood, but that'll change as the trend dies down.

Tried the FT-3 (draw-bias) and the X460 non-Tour(2* closed) driver, both in stiff shafts. Kept slicing the FT-3 and bombing the X460 straight down the fairway with about 260+ yds of carry. Needless to say which driver is now in my bag! Need to put a smooth tempo, though, on this particular driver and it WILL go a mile. If you try and smash it, it will duck-hook on you. Maybe the Tour Version (square face) wouldn't, but I chose the non-tour for my swing (about 98-100 SS)
When you're riding in the cart up to your ball about 280-300+ yards down the fairway (WAY past your fellow players), the big brass sound when you hit this driver is music to my ears, not to mention the many compliments I receive when everybody sees where (how far) my ball is!!!!!! Makes you feel real good and confident for your 2nd shot.

Customer Service

Top-notch. Came off a 454 driver which they re-shafted for me for free last year.

Read up on all the fairway woods out there before making a purchase. Heard lots of good things about the X. So I went out and tried the three wood (stiff,fujikura). I was amazed. I hit the ball long but I'd never hit a fairway wood 260 off the ground before this club. Easy to hit and even miss-hits turn out alright. You can keep this one low or sky it with distance either way and not have to be a pro to do it.ALWAYS long. I'm out driving my playing partners with it off the tee while they're still hitting driver. All my playing partners then went out and bought X drivers and woods after hitting my 3. I've been able to play the 5 and 7 and both are just as long and easy to hit. A lot of guys here have mentioned the small heads. To me it just makes it easier to hit the ball off the sweet spot of the club. I took a smooth swing with the 7 to try and drop on a 210 yard par 3. Ended up over hitting the hole by 20 yards and couldn't have been happier. My playing partners have a variety of swing types- upright, high swing speed, and low and slow-all of us are htting these things with ease.

If you want looong and easy to hit woods try these out. If there is a better wood out there it hasn't been made yet.

I thought I would give the new Callaway X a try for a round. It has a stock Callaway stiff shaft. The club does setup nice on the ground. What I found is that these are very good off the tee. Well you don't hit a lot of 3 woods of tee's. The problem I had was actually the sole of the club. It is so flat and smooth I had a hard time getting it in the air. Once I start hitting down on it then I didn't have a problem. For me I just don't like hitting down on them to get them in the air. I personaly like a 3 wood that the sole will naturually get the ball air born. My Titleist 904F will stay in the bag, it is a lot easier to get the club airborn. I also found the X not a solid as I would have liked, felt a little hollow. I did not try the X Tour and maybe that would be the difference. I would recommend a round with these before purchasing.

Picked up the 3 and 5 woods with the stiff Fuji shafts on ebay after reading the article in GOLF magazine and hitting them at the Haggin Oaks Golf Event (biggest merchandise show in the country- yes, even bigger than the PGA show in Florida). I hit all the new offerings from Taylormade, Sonartec, Cleveland, Ping, Nike, Adams, Yonex, Bobby Jones, Orlimar, Nicklaus, etc...Hands down the Callaway X series are the most SOLID, EASY TO HIT, & LONG, fairway woods I tried. Actually, after working with the callaway rep at his launch monitor I did have between 2-6 yds more distance with the Fusion fairway woods, though at the expense of control. The callaway guy told me that even though the fusions might be a hint longer, they take a much more precise swing to hit consistently. Even the pro's who hit the Fusion driver (Mickelson, Sorenstam, etc) are using the X series for their fairway woods because they're so damn easy to hit. And they do feel VERY solid and stable at impact. The 5 wood is phenomenal from every lie, and the 3 wood makes a great "backup driver" in addition to being easy to hit off the deck. I used to only use 3 wood off the tee, but am now able to attack the green from 230-240 out in the fairway instead of laying up 210-220 with my 5 wood like I used to. These new woods have cut 2 strokes of my handicap. 'Nuff said. You will love these.

tried 'em all...

I picked up a X Tour 13* with a Fujikura stiff shaft the day before we played the toughest course in the state. I got a good high launch and plenty of distance with the X Tour. I used the club off of the tee for the majority of the holes and should have used it more. You will be rewarded with the most lovely sound that a metal wood could ever make, if you strike the ball well. The club is very playable off of the deck. I hit good shots from the fairway, short rough and semi-long rough. I did not seem to lose any distance from any of the three lies that I hit from.

Why the Callaway X Tour?

1. Small head size. There seems to be a trend that is making larger heads for the fairway woods. The larger head sizes are better off of the tee but not as good off of the deck.

2. A good strong loft. I wanted good distance but did not want a club that was unplayable from the fairway.

3. Hey. It's a Callaway fairway wood. I can't recall a Callaway fairway wood that was not at least good. This one is Great. I hit the Nike SQ, Cleveland Steel, Cobra X Speed, Titleist, Taylor Made V-Steel, R5 and R7 fairway woods. None of them stacked up to the Callway X Tour.

There are number of reasons why this club was the Golfdigest's editor's choice. After reviewing about new fairway woods on the market, i headed to local golf shop and tested this along with few other clubs. I have Ping G5 driver and was leaning toward G5 woods. But for fairway woods, i had to settle with Callaway X. And what a great choice i made.

This club sits very nicely at address. The feel of swing and impact is very simple, easy, and solid. The launch from the ground was very delight to watch. I acquired 3 and 7 woods and it is a life saver on par 5s, long par 3s & 4s.
From time to time, i still make horrible tee shot and iron shots. But with this club, i can hit straight all day long. Very easy and solid. This club makes me feel like i am PGA pro. With this accuracy + distance + confidence, i can sit next to Tiger Woods and buy him a drink. I wish i can hit this solid with my driver and irons. Still practicing, but i got to say, with skills in my level, its got to be the clubs. Very easy to hit, and very satisfying ball flight. If you get a chance, please demo this club.

I recently changed all of my equipments and my new callaway X fairway woods are my favorite, hand down.

Love it. Club sits up nice at address, very solid feeling as advertised.

I went with the 7 wood (getting rid of the 3 iron and unable to join the hybrid craze) and have been very happy with it. Almost exactly the same distance (210yds) as my 3 iron but with a much friendlier flight path.

An article I read said some people have swings that work better with either fairway woods or hybrids but usually not both. I am in the fairway camp and this club is solid. I didn't hit the Fusion because I did not want to be tempted to spend the extra $ when you can get a nice deal on the X series.

I had a lot of trouble finding a 3 wood but the search is over. This one is great, just perfect. I got the fujikura 26.3 stiff and its awesome. Very long off the tee and easy to hit from the fairway. Keeper
