BigEasy Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 The two models that I'm most interested in for 2010 are the Callaway Legacy Tour driver and the new 2010 XXIO driver. Does anyone have any experience with either of these? I couldn't find much information about these drivers on here or gofwrx. Any comments will be appreciated.

gocchin Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I've hit both. I am about to post a review of the XXIO on the blog in the next few days. Both have good feel but have different face materials, the XXIO with its usual TIX face and Callaway going with high grade Ti. Both lines, the XXIO and Legacy have been know for very very good feel. Distance wise, in the past two years of the D1 Golf Digest Contest, the XXIO and the Legacy Aero have both won once, the most recent being the Legacy Aero. The XXIO is aimed more at the mid to higher handicapper while the Callaway Tour is aimed at the better player/low handicapper. They have very different target audiences. The Tour is lower launching and focused on workability while the XXIO is a distance driver made for high launch and carry. Callaway's newer 2010 driver has two models, the L model which is aimed at the mid capper wanting forgiveness and the S which is for the better player/lower handicapper. The New L is a good comparison to the XXIO but the S has a different target audience like the Tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEasy Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Gocchin; Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful. Do you know if Callaway makes 8.5* in the Tour? I know you said the Tour is low launching but I'm always split between 9.5 and 8.5, so I had to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 The Legacy Tour looks amazing especially it's face profile but it's for a different player than the 2010 XXIO driver which is much more user friendly in my opinion. I personally would go with the Legacy Tour and put a very easy swinging shaft on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdmclubber Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 The Legacy Tour looks very simular to the FT 9 TH/ FT Tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
