Golf Gear Newswire : Diablo Edge and Diablo Forged Irons are Latest Creations from Callaway

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- The new Diablo Edge and Diablo Forged irons from Callaway Golf are engineered for distance and accuracy, but created for two distinct types of players.

Designed with a lower, deeper center of gravity, Diablo Edge irons feature a more accessible sweet spot that is in line with where most amateurs commonly hit the ball on the clubface. The result, Callaway officials said, is longer, consistent distance and improved accuracy.

The Solid Impact Sole delivers smooth turf interaction and is designed to mitigate the effects of heavy and thin shots. It also improves the impact location on the face for greater distance.

"In designing the new Diablo Edge Irons, we've taken our proven technologies and combined them with insight on where average golfers make contact on the clubface, then moved the sweet spot accordingly," said Dr. Alan Hocknell, Callaway Golf's senior vice president of research & development. "The result of that effort is greater distance overall and greater distance consistency."

The Diablo Forged irons feature a sleek and compact head style with classic lines. With a thin top line, narrow sole, shorter blade length and minimal offset, they provide premium shot-shaping ability for a wide range of golfers.

The forged irons are configured for greater distance than other forged irons due to a lower, deeper center of gravity that provides a penetrating trajectory, Callaway officials explained. The forged steel, perimeter-weighted body and precision welded face provide soft, responsive feedback.

"We used an exceptional combination of materials to design the Diablo Forged irons," said Hocknell. "The thin, high-strength steel face and the soft, forged steel body allowed us to move the center of gravity lower and create a unique combination of added distance and forged feel."

The Diablo Forged Irons will be available at retail on Feb. 15 with a retail price of $999 for steel-shafted sets and $1199 for graphite-shafted sets.

The Diablo Edge Irons are now available with a retail price of $599 for a steel-shafted set. The Diablo Edge Irons are also available in combo sets, which feature six irons and two Diablo Edge Hybrids. The combo set with two graphite-shafted hybrids and six steel-shafted irons retails for $699, while the combo set with two graphite-shafted hybrids and six graphite-shafted irons retails for $799.
