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 X6E7 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.

GEAR OF THE YEAR "Men's Journal" (Dec 2010 - Jan 2011, Vol.19, No. 10)
Smarter Faster Lighter Stronger
At the top of a long list of products that came, out this year - The overpromisers, the underdeliverers, the immemorabl and the just plain ridiculous - sit these 25 things. They are the innovators and game-changers. This is the gear you don't just want, but need.
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.
Golf Online Review
This driver is getting brilliant reviews across the golfing world and we at GolfOnline love it too. The technology behind this driver comes from the same composite used in Lamborghini's supercars and can really be seen with the results. The lightweight head combined with the high spec Project X shaft allow the golfer to create much more clubhead speed and a more penetrating ball flight. Very easy to use and maneuver the ball with. A great all round driver.
