Callaway calls the design “Speed Frame Face Technology” and says it’s a weight-saving setup that combines Callaway’s VFT® and Hyperbolic Face™ Technology. The company’s design for the titanium face of its Callaway RAZR Fit Xtreme driver enlarges the sweet spot, boosts ball speed, and adds forgiveness. The lightweight crown allows most of the head’s weight to be positioned down low, where it’s able to help you generate more ball speed and less backspin. Callaway says this material is stronger and lighter than titanium, which means it can create an extremely light crown. Yes, that Lamborghini, the company that’s known for its fast, exotic cars. The crown is made of forged composite, a high-tech material that’s manufactured in partnership with Lamborghini. By inserting them into the sole’s weight ports, you can position the head’s center of gravity to promote a straight ball or a draw. Two Opti-Fit weights (1-gram and 13-gram) come with the club. The “S” position (which probably stands for “Square”) is the stock factory setting. The “O” setting (probably stands for “Open”) decreases the loft by 1 degree and opens the face by about 2.5 degrees. The “C” setting (I’m guessing “C” stands for “Closed”) bumps up the loft by 1 degree and closes the face by about 1.5 degrees. It lets you adjust the head’s loft, face angle and weighting. The Callaway RAZR Fit Xtreme driver’s claim to fame is its “Opti-Fit” adjustment system. Now let’s talk about the meat of the matter. And who really cares what the sole looks like anyway? The medium-deep titanium face (also black and not too tall, not too shallow) features Callaway’s “X marks the sweet spot.” That’s it for the looks of the Callaway RAZR Fit Xtreme. The sole (black and vivid metallic green) is busier but still attractive. From above, a Callaway RAZR Fit Xtreme gives you a sleek, uncomplicated look. The head has a classic pear shape and a glossy black crown that doesn’t offer any alignment aids. As a result, it has a more compact look than many of the other drivers I’ve tested lately. At 440cc, the head of the Callaway RAZR Fit Xtreme I tested is slightly smaller than the heads of many current drivers (the higher-lofted drivers come in today’s more common 460cc size). Callaway says the Aldila is designed to produce higher drives than the slightly heavier Matrix shaft. There are two stock shafts from which you can choose: the Aldila Trinity that was on my test club and a Matrix Black Tie 7M3. The lower lofts (8.5, 9.5 and10.5) have 440cc heads with a 1-degree open face in the neutral setting the higher lofts (11.5 and 13.5) have 460cc heads with a square face in the neutral setting. Lofts ranging from 8.5-degrees to 13.5-degrees are available. The original RAZR Fit driver was popular with amateurs, so Callaway’s introduction of the follow-up RAZR Fit Xtreme wasn’t any big surprise.
