Callaway’s 2013 Women’s Golf Clubs: Editor Review
Looking for a premium women’s set? Here is a top pick from the GolfWRX editors.
Our testers have had Callaway’s 2013 line of X Hot women’s clubs in play for several weeks, and have both commented on how the distance the irons fly has made the game much more enjoyable for them.
The women’s versions use all the technology of Callaway’s GolfWRX Editor’s Choice-winning X Hot woods and irons, making them a top choice for a women who need more height and forgiveness from their clubs than the men’s versions can provide.
And how can you deny the looks of Callaway’s X Hot lineup going to a pink-and-gray scheme?
One of our testers, who is a higher handicap golfer, has always struggled with getting fairway woods off the ground. She said that the X Hot women’s fairway wood is by far the highest-launching and easiest to hit model she has ever gamed.
The whole set looks great, and put together with the XTT Xtreme Cart Bag in grey, the clubs look even more attractive.

You can’t deny the looks of Callaway’s X Hot lineup going to a pink-and-gray scheme is hot!

X Hot’s adjustable Speed Frame Face allows you to set the face angle in an Open, Square or Closed position to fine tune the trajectory and appearance you’re looking for at address.

The X Hot driver has also received a lot of praise from our testers. Both tested the 13.5-degree HT driver, and are hitting the club higher and farther than their previous drivers. Our testers have also enjoyed the fact that they can adjust the face angle of the club. They used Callaway’s OptiFit Hosel to close the driver’s face and get their shots started closer to the center line.
Like the men’s version, the women’s X Hot driver has three different face angle positions (Open, Square or Closed) to help golfers get the look and flight they need to play their best. It also has the company’s Speed Frame Face, which improves ball speed on mishits.

Callaway’s women’s X Hot driver comes with a lightweight, “W-flex” version of True Temper’s Project X Velocity shafts, which helps create a higher launch for more carry. The irons also come with a proprietary PXv shaft that boosts speed and launch.


The deeper undercut cavity on Callaway’s women’s X Hot irons helps create a higher launch and more ball speed over a larger area of the face.

Odyssey’s Women’s Divine putters are offered in shorter lengths than the men’s versions (32, 33 and 34 inches), with heavier head weights (350 grams) to optimize the feel of the putters.
They come in three popular shapes — 2Ball, Rossie and blade (similar to Odyssey’s No. 1 putter) — and have an insert with a feel that Callaway’s testing showed women preferred.


Callaway’s HEX Solaire Golf Ball has an S-Tech core with a lower compression than the company’s other offerings. That helps provide an extremely soft feel off the clubface, as well as improved accuracy and distance for women with slower club head speeds.
Its special HEX Aerodynamics helps create a long, penetrating flight and that is a better fit for low-speed, low-lift players. The pearlescent finish creates a stylish, elegant appearance on the course, and it’s also available in a vivid pink.

You can see the setup looks awesome on a cart. The strap of the bag is in the back side where it belongs. If you are not going to carry your bag or take a caddie, than this cart bag is the best choice.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

This review is an insult to women golfers . All the women I play golf with are serious about their game and always looking to improve. This review was nothing more then a description of color and fashion.
Absolutely useless.

I was looking around to find a new set of clubs
for my wife’s birthday.This site was a joke,it
was all a fashion show.She may not be a pro,but
she is serious about her game.I think she would
find this site somewhat insulting.

This is the absolutely the most lame club review I’ve seen. Worthless. Although I now know how to position my clubs on the cart for best asthetic effect.

This review assumes that women only care about how clubs look and not how they perform. Where is the real analysis? You are never going to get more women involved in golf if you don’t realize that like men, one size does not fit all. We don’t all love pink. We don’t need a 13.5 HT driver with a watered down shaft. I am hitting Callaway’s Razr Fit Extreme 10.5 with a cut down senior flex shaft and it has done wonders for my drives. Plus I have switched from the “womens” balls and have found that I am longer off the tee and have a ton more feel around the greens. I wish Golfwrx would take reviews targeted at women seriously rather than just talking about the colors or reviewing clothing.

Pink clubs? Are you kidding me?

Oddly enough pink is not a bad thing. Last season I was stuck with a choice of hot pink or powder blue when getting my clubs re-gripped (the “feel” was better than the straight black). Although I’m not a fan of pink in general, I felt it had more personality than the blue and in the end I was happy with my choice. The bright colour really stands out against the grass (especially since the shafts on my clubs are green too) and makes it less likely that I’ll forget to pick up an iron after putting.

Where are the fairway woods (only 1in the bag) and the rescue woods?
