Callaway RAZR Fit Review

RAZR Fit was Callaway admitting that adjustability had won, then doing it with less noise than the competition. The OptiFit hosel sets the face open, square or closed without touching loft, and a pair of interchangeable sole weights, one gram and twelve, moves bias toward the heel or the toe. Two dials rather than three, which turns out to be about the right number for a player who is not going to keep notes. Above that sits the forged composite crown Callaway had been refining for years, thin and light enough to move real mass down into the sole.

The head is a compact 460cc that looks smaller than it measures, with a faintly pear shaped profile that better players preferred to the fat, round heads of the era. Ball speed is very good and spin runs low, so it wants loft. Plenty of people bought the 9.5 degree head and should have taken the 10.5. Feel is firm and quiet, closer to a solid thud than a crack. At four hundred dollars it was priced with the flagships and earned the shelf space.
