Ely Callaway started Callaway Golf with the mission to help players enjoy the game more by helping them play better. Just like golfers, Callaway continuously seeks to improve its game by introducing new, innovative technology into its clubs, golf ball, tees, and accessories. Low-handicappers seeking a versatile fairway wood that is as close to what the tour players use can look no further than the Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Fairway Wood.

It’s the club’s features, like its Variable Face Thickness technology and perimeter weighting, that earned Callaway a gold medal in Golf Digest’s 2010 Hot List for this club. More advanced players will appreciate some key differences between this wood and the standard version, the Diablo Edge Fairway Wood, that are designed for greater control and more precision.

The Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Fairway Wood produces the longest, straightest ball flight of any Callaway club. Both the standard and tour version of the fairway wood have the company’s special Variable Face Thickness technology; with this technology, the center of the face is 2.5mm and the edges are .5mm; the considerable difference in thickness offers more forgiveness and gets more power behind the ball.

The tour version, however, offers a smaller and more traditional headshape; more experienced players do not need the slightly larger and heavier clubhead of the standard version. The wood also has a full hosel and a less aggressive face progression. Most importantly, the center of gravity in the Diablo Edge Tour is very low and deep, giving skilled players more control of the trajectory. In fact, this club has the lowest, shallowest center of gravity of any Callaway fairway wood.

Designed specifically for skilled golfers, the Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Fairway Wood has tour-inspired technology with a price tag that is in the reach of many casual players. Players appreciated the more traditional look of the club with its standard-sized head and full hosel. The tour model has a lower flight than the standard model, which players felt gave them more control. Its shaft, weight, and stability were all ranked very high.

Many reviewers rank this as the best fairway wood they have played with, which comes as no surprise considering the club’s gold medal in the 2010 Hot List. While still forgiving, the wood is “more workable for the better player.” The club is particularly valuable on the rough or for long shots, and it is a must-try for advanced players.
