Callaway RAZR Fit Fairway Woods

From Golf Magazine ClubTest 2012 (May, 2012)

Category: Better-Player Fairway Woods
Price: $249

WE TESTED: 3 (15°), 5 (18°) with RAZR Fit graphite shaft
KEY TECHNOLOGIES: The OptiFit hosel allows for customized fitting (open, square or closed clubface), while “Variable Face” technology produces a larger effective hitting area for faster ball speeds and greater distance. The heattreated stainless steel construction provides greater strength and better acoustics.

OUR TESTERS SAY: Playable from the tee and fairway with a healthy dose of distance.

PROS
PLAYABILITY: Reasonably easy to execute draws and fades from the tee and short grass; cuts through rough surprisingly well; low-profile head allows optimal contact from tough lies.
ACCURACY/FORGIVENESS: Solid strikes hold a tight line to the target.
DISTANCE: Majority of testers find it to be as long or a bit longer than their current model; most off-center hits don’t lose significant distance.
FEEL: Pleasing crispness on solid shots; clubhead maintains stability through impact on most swings.
LOOK: Compact, low-profile head with minimal graphics looks like it can get into tight spaces easily.

CONS
Some testers find that it’s not as forgiving as other models; a few guys see noticeable distance loss on mis-hits.
