Callaway Razr X Black Fairway Wood Review By: Nick
Handicap: Pro
The Callaway Razr X Black Fairway Wood is a traditional looking head smaller than previous models and for me I think this is the best looking fairway wood in the Callaway range in 2012. It sits for me very neutral to the target and has a good looking black head and a large face area, the Razr X Black Fairway was a low centre of gravity which helps get the ball up in the air. Although this club has a low centre of gravity it has quite a deep face which helps with the clubs hitting area.
The Razr X Black Fairway has Callaway’s own mid torque and mid to low kick 60 gram shaft in which again like the driver is a shaft that is again at the lighter end of the scale in fairway wood shaft weights, the mid to low kick is designed to help get the ball in the air again with minimum spin helping the ball stay straighter and up there for longer.
Callaway have this year chosen to put a Callaway Crested golf pride multi compound grip on there fairway wood this grip was ever popular in 2011 and adds value and quality to this club. I would have imagined that Callaway’s target market for the Razr X Black fairway would be the mid to high handicapper but now I have hit this fairway I would believe this fairway to be suitable for golfers of all abilities.

The Callaway Razr X Black Fairway has a fantastic traditional looking head which I felt created an enormous amount of ball speed off of the face, precisely what I'm looking for in a fairway wood. The shaft however was slightly weak which meant I didn't get as much control as I perhaps would have wanted but with the correct shaft in I would definitely put one of these in my bag.
I also felt the RAzr X Black Fairway was very forgiving, something which I think is hard to find in a fairway wood. I hit one slightly off the bottom off the face and it still went just as far as it would have done out the middle and nobody would have known otherwise!

Wow! This was impressive, dead easy to hit and launches the ball much further than I could have hoped for off the deck. This fairway wood has really inspired confidence as I feel even if I miss-hit it will still go straight and fairly long. Love the way it lifts the ball in the air so easily as normally I struggle a bit with a 3 wood and find I have to work harder to get a decent ball flight from the deck which often causes me to be a bit wayward.
I can't believe how much Callaway have improved with this fairway wood compared to the model I had from 2 years ago, the distance it gives me is significantly more and it just seems much easier, that in turn has quickly helped me gain confidence in this club. The Razr X Black fairway woods will be appearing in my golf bag next time I play, they look impressive as well and I think Callaway has done a great job on the styling. The ball appears highlighted against the face even when its sitting down and one of the best things is that I will have confidence in using a 3 wood out of rough which I would never attempt with my old clubs.
I can see the Razr X black being top sellers this year as I think they will appeal to a wide range of golfers, high handicaps will find them very forgiving but I think single figured players will find it hard to resist the extra distance and ease of use that these fairway woods offer.
