Golf Clubs Review: Callaway Razr Hawk Driver
At first, when Callaway released the Razr Hawk Driver, I thought it was nothing new, but what really caught my attention was Callaway’s claim that their RAZR Hawk is 6 yards longer than TaylorMade’s R11, so I decided to try it. The distance really amazed me, so I am very glad to give a review about it.
Look
At address the RAZR Hawk presents a familiar Callaway appearance. The crown comes in a high gloss finish and the clubhead looks almost stealthy. The neutral driver almost presents a square appearance at address. The club had only a hint of a closed appearance, and is easy to line up with the vertical crown line and Callaway Chevron which is done in a muted gray color and is not distracting in any way. Most of the aerodynamic features and sole cutouts for repositioning weight are all out of site.The driver is done in shades of gray with the RIP shaft’s dark gray color complimenting the driver head.
Design
The Callaway Razr Hawk Driver uses its new forged composite technology to lower overall weight, but more importantly, to use some of that saved weight in specific places to increase forgiveness. Complimenting the new material is a more aerodynamic shape to decrease drag and increase clubhead speed and Callaway’s Hyperbolic Face Technology to stretch the effective hitting area and increase ball speed across more of the driver’s face. Repositioned weight is also used to allow for Draw and Neutral biased models.
Stock shaft is a proprietary Aldila RIP 60. Typical for Callaway drivers, the shaft comes in a 350 tip size. The RIP in the RAZR Hawk is also slightly more tip soft than its 335 tip after-market sibling. The grip is a 55 gram Callaway Velvet with a .580 core size and overall club length is 46″.
Performance
This club is not just designed to perform better than other drivers, but it is also designed to last longer as well. It features an aluminum skid plate to help the driver remain playable for a much longer period of time. This means that your investment will pay off for many years in the future instead of just one or two. You can work the ball with the Razr Hawk, but not a huge amount without really changingthings in the swing. I can get the ball higher with ease, but it is harder to hit a low ball, and it is not that hard to draw or fade the ball.
Summary
Overall, I have hit the driver at the range and love the sound, feel and distance. For golfers concerned with accuracy, particularly those who favor the right side of the golf course more than they’d like, a draw-biased model is also available. Though it’s not on our test list, so we can speak to this with any degree of assurance, higher handicap golfers looking for more forgiveness may want to look at the Callaway Diablo Octane Driver, which also features forged composite technology.
