![]() OptiFit is Callaway’s official entry into the growing arena of adjustable clubs. While stainless steel construction and VFT are all well and good, the big new exciting feature in the RAZR Fit line is the company’s new OptiFit Technology. Here you can see the face of the Callaway RAZR Fit. Callaway claims larger sweet spots generate higher ball speeds for longer distance. Callaway’s new aggressive VFT (Variable Face Thickness) technology is precision shaping of the face in order to increase the size of the sweet spot. Speaking of VFT we come to the second feature found in the fairway wood line. Callaway says, “The stainless steel is heat treated for enhanced strength, enabling the aggressive VFT pattern.” This is a big thing for a company who has uses alternative materials in several of its past and present driver models. First, RAZR fit fairway woods feature all stainless steel construction. ![]() The RAZR Fit line of fairway woods all feature three basic technologies. I had a chance recently to try out a Callaway RAZR Fit fairway wood for a few weeks and put it through its paces lets take a look at how it went. Callaway did its homework and developed a club that has all the bells and whistles that your modern day golfer desires, without all the aesthetic problems that plagued its passed lines. This years RAZR Fit line of drivers and fairway woods is a step in the right direction. The good news is Callaway looks to be putting out quality golf clubs again. But a lot has changed since then, Callaway got a little weird, someone at TaylorMade thought painting a driver head white would be cool and the rest they say…is history. No other manufacturer was close in those days, Callaway reigned supreme. I remember when I first started playing golf, Callaway’s Big Bertha line of drivers and fairway woods were by far the industry leaders. The Callaway FT- iQ looked more like a spaceship than a golf club, the FT- i wasn’t much better and the FT-9 looked like it was made from used parts the developers found lying around. ![]() I have to say some of Callaway’s offerings in the past few years have left a little something to be desired in my opinion. With the announcement of its intention to cut 12% of its workforce, it is obvious that things are not really going according to plan. Callaway golf has fallen on some hard times lately.
