Tour
Callaway's Tour models are designed for more accomplished golfers with features that provide greater versatility to attack the course with precision shot-shaping and trajectory control.

8 Yards Longer than Titanium*
Lighter, faster, stronger. It’s what makes the all-new Diablo Octane Driver a revolution. Fueled by Forged Composite, a unique new material from Callaway that allows superior distribution of clubhead mass, compared with all-titanium drivers. The result? A lighter clubhead that retains an extremely high MOI. The Diablo Octane Driver powers drives beyond those of its all-titanium predecessor, the Diablo Edge Driver, by an average distance of 8 extra yards. Experience the most powerful driver ever imagined – the Diablo Octane Driver with Forged Composite.

* Based on average total distance at a 95 percent confidence level from 2010 Callaway player testing against the Diablo Edge Driver.

Fueled by Forged Composite
Forged Composite is the result of a unique partnership between the R&D teams of Callaway and supercar maker Lamborghini. Forged Composite is one-third the density of titanium, yet features a greater load carrying capacity per unit mass in bending. The Diablo Octane crown contains 10 million turbostratic carbon fibers – 500,000 per square inch – set with six tons of force during the forging process to reinforce 33 percent of the clubhead. These ultra-light, thin-walled components result in lower total head weight and optimized mass properties that make the Diablo Octane Driver lighter, faster, stronger.

Hyperbolic Face Technology
Callaway uses Hyperbolic shaping and a unique chemical reduction process to strategically remove excess material from areas of the titanium face and achieve precision thickness control. This produces consistently high ball speeds for long distance, even on off-center hits and on shots hit across all areas of the face.

Project X7E7 Graphite Shaft
The longer, high-performance shaft is designed with feedback and input from our Tour pros and is the ideal complement to the Diablo Octane Driver to maximize performance and enhance feel. The increased overall club length helps you achieve greater head speed and more power at impact in the Diablo Octane Driver. Flex - 4.5 Light, 5.0 Regular, 6.0 Stiff.

Best Driver

What do supercars and golf clubs have in common? Nothing, until Callaway and Lamborghini teamed up to develope a new carbon composite that's one-third less dense than titanium. Implementing it in the head of the Callaway Diablo Octane dropped the club's centre of gravity, letting designers lengthen the shaft by half an inch. In real world terms, that means the ball will launch off the tee like a Gallardo at a drag strip.

GolfOnline Review

This tour version is even better than the noraml diablo Octane driver. The 450cc head combined with the Project X shaft creates a penetrating ball flight which allows the player to really work the ball off the tee. The Octane Tour is 1* open at address and this really suits the eye of the better golfer. Through the forged composite material makes this clubhead very light and therefore allows the golfer to get through the ball at a higher speed and therfore create more distance.
