Callaway Hawkeye Vft Driver Specs

The Hawkeye is a terrific club, regardless I upgraded it this week due to the improvement metallurgic technologies. The only real difference with my new driver is an average yardage increase of 15 yds. I rarely miss the dead center of the sweet spot with my new driver becuase I learned my swing on the smaller Callaway head.

Callaway Golf Company has created two new drivers, both of which the company predicts will have a major beneficial effect on golfers around the world. Both drivers fully conform with the equipment rules and regulations of the R&A. One of these new drivers – the Hawk Eye® VFT™ Titanium Driver – is made out of cast titanium and offers the best performance in distance and forgiveness that Callaway Golf has ever been able to deliver in a cast driver. The other driver – the ERC™ II Forged Titanium Driver – uses a four-piece construction from forged titanium components to deliver the hottest and most forgiving driver Callaway Golf has ever made. Both of these extraordinary, breakthrough products incorporate Callaway Golf’s “VFT” (Variable Face Thickness Technology) and will be available soon to the Company’s retail customers around the world. Delivery will begin in limited quantities not later than January 2001.

The Hawk Eye® VFT™ Titanium Driver “We have created a choice for golfers,” said Richard C. Helmstetter, Senior Executive Vice President of R&D for golf clubs and golf balls “If you prefer a slightly smaller (although still oversized) clubhead and the performance of cast titanium, then the Hawk Eye VFT is the driver for you. It has our patented ‘Variable Face Thickness’ design cast into the face. This has enabled us to make the clubface very “hot” – much hotter than our original Hawk Eye Driver. The Hawk Eye VFT Driver also has our proprietary weighting system and design that provides optimum launch parameters.

With only a handful in play in the last few weeks, prototypes of this great new driver have enjoyed tremendous success on the tours, with 4 wins already. Just as the pros appreciate the many benefits of the Hawk Eye VFT Driver’s technology, we believe that amateur golfers will appreciate the super performance of the Hawk Eye VFT Driver.” In addition to drivers, Callaway Golf is also introducing a full line of Hawk Eye VFT Fairway Woods. Beginning not later than January 2001, the Hawk Eye VFT Metal Woods will be heavily advertised and promoted to the trade and to consumers in a campaign featuring leading golf professionals. Several Callaway Golf Staff Professionals have been using prototype drivers of this general design for the past few weeks. Golf legend Arnold Palmer is one of the professionals who has been using the Hawk Eye VFT prototype driver in his competitive rounds in U.S.

Senior PGA Tour events recently. Palmer, “I am tremendously pleased by the good things this new technology brings to my game.

I am looking forward to using this new VFT Driver in all of the tournaments I enter in the U.S. Next year.” The ERC™ II Forged Titanium Driver The new ERC II Forged Titanium Driver is the state of the art from Callaway Golf’s research and development department.

Like the Hawk Eye VFT Driver, the ERC II Driver fully conforms with the R&A’s equipment rules and may be played by amateurs and pros alike. Using a proprietary four-piece forged titanium fabrication process, the ERC II Driver is the hottest driver Callaway Golf has ever made – slightly exceeding even the original ERC Driver sold by Callaway Golf in limited quantities in Japan, Europe and elsewhere in 2000.

In addition, golfers will find the ERC II Driver to be significantly more forgiving. Helmstetter summed up what this means: “This is quite simply the hottest and most forgiving driver we have ever designed and made.” Chuck Yash, President of Callaway Golf Company, stated, “In the ERC II Driver’s design, there has been developed a major improvement in general playability or ‘forgiveness’. We believe that this extra forgiveness will give the ERC II Driver even broader appeal for most amateur golfers, compared to the original ERC Driver that we introduced in early 2000.” In an interesting twist, it should be noted the ERC II Driver, like the original ERC Driver, will not conform to the USGA’s “spring-like effect rule” that limits a driver’s “coefficient of restitution” or COR (the efficiency with which a driver transfers energy from the club to the ball). The USGA (United States Golf Association) publishes the Rules of Golf in the United States where the ERC II Driver is made. Despite being non-conforming to U.S. Rules, Callaway Golf plans to make the ERC II Driver available to consumers in the U.S.
