Callaway Golf is set to release their next generation of Legacy drivers. This time around for 2010, they will be releasing two drivers simultaneously to cater to different player audiences. The premium forged Legacy drivers have always been a best seller in Japan and know for awesome feel and great overall performance.
In February of next year Callaway Japan will release both a Legacy Type S and a Legacy Type L. The Type S features a smaller 440cc head and more traditional shaped design and is aimed at the better player wanting a mid trajectory workable driver with a focus on both distance and control. The Type L on the other hand features a larger 460cc head with more of a long front to back design providing top notch distance and forgiveness with a higher launch for max carry.
Both the Type S (which is dubbed Sporty and Stylish) and the Type L (dubbed Long and Luxurious) are premium forged all titanium heads featuring an all new Hyperbolic ELF Titanium CUP face. The crown and body are are made of CA-Ti light weight Titanium allowing 30g of weight to be placed lower on the sole for higher MOI and optimal spin control.
The Type S is available in 8.5 9.5 and 10.5* lofts while the Type L is available in 9.5 10.5 and 11.5* lofts. Once again the new Legacys will be available in i-Mix heads and shafts as well as complete shafted clubs with top shaft options besides the stock Speed Amorphous like the new Diamana ilima, Graphite Design’s Tour AD DI-6 and UST Mamiya’s new ATTAS shaft. Standard length for the Type S is 45″ which shows an emphasis on control while the Type L with a distance focus is 46″ in length.
If the new Legacy feels anything like previous genertions and performs even better, Callaway will have yet another winner on their hands. Look for the pre order soon in the pro shop!
