Just picked this club up a couple weeks ago. I've never been big on upgrading my equipment (fix the swing first, etc.), but decided to give this a try. Previous driver for the last couple years was a Titleist 907D2 10'. All I can say is, I am a BELIEVER in club head technology. I play with a natural draw, but when I do miss off the tee, it's always far right. First day with this club, I hit a whole bucket hitting 10 balls or so with the 907D2, and then the Diablo Edge. Slices literally turned more into power fades, as in, they would probably still hit most fairways. I was amazed. I was hitting balls off the toe occasionally, and it still felt like the ball just launched off the face with a bearable ball flight. Square hits are rewarded with a very sweet feeling of a trampoline effect. I can actually feel the ball compressing and the face grabbing it and launching it. VERY hot face.
My only gripe would be the shape. It's not rounded in the back, but rather comes to a very blunt triangle. Hardly noticable, but to purists and snobs, would be an issue. coming from the classic shape of a 907D2, it took me all of 1 round to get used to it.Stock Aldila Harbenero shaft is interesting. Possibly too high a launch for me even with the 9' face. Not getting a lot of roll which might be an issue on windy days. But it DOES get the ball up in the air nice and quick. Probably why Callaway used it.
As far as sound, best sounding Callway club in recent memory. Better then FTiQ (obviously), and the FT-9. Probably because it's an all titanium head, as opposed to those FT multi-material.
Highly reccomend this club for people who just want to hit it straight and far. Not much for workability, but I've always been a proponnent of straight over workability.
When I get better, maybe I'll break out the 907D2 again, but not for awhile.

Used this club now for about 20 rounds and at first, I found it to be VERY straight but not so long. As I learned the club, I found it to be extremely controllable. By that, I mean that if I try and hit it far with a little faster swing, I am as far as most players that I play with. If I swing slower, I get less distance but I can put the ball where I want to ( ie; middle of fairway). HUGE sweet spot, Good feedback and feel. The more I play it the more I like it.

I was not very impressed with this club. When you hit it in the center, it does feel ok. But, I feel like its paying for brand name, not for real innovation or quality.
