Pros: Two different head options, a 440cc version and 460cc version, allow golfers to choose between a lower-launching, more penetrating flight, and a higher-launching, more forgiving option respectively. New aerodynamically efficient heads and light premium shaft offerings create the lightest drivers Callaway has ever released. The Advanced OptiFit hosel allows golfers to adjust the loft and lie of the driver.

Bottom line: Both drivers live up to the marketing promise. With two premium stock shafts to choose from, both drivers are lighter and offer more adjustability than previous Callaway models. Most golfers will find the 460 launches higher with more forgiveness and has more consistent ball speeds across the face. Better players will favor the lower, more penetrating trajectory offered by the 440.
Mid-season product launches seem to be all the rage right now, and Callaway became part of it with the OptiForce. The current strategy at Callaway is to focus on new innovation, not just iterative products, and the company has been willing to release new clubs more often this year. Even though the X Hot line is still dominating commercials during tournaments, Callaway is moving full-steam ahead to bring golfers more speed (and hopefully more distance) with its lightest drivers yet, the OptiForce.
I wanted to get on a FlightScope launch monitor and run a series of tests with multiple different settings. The Nike Golf 360 Fitting Center at Bentwater Golf Course in Acworth, Ga., was the closest option, and the teaching pro Justin Tackett was nice enough to let me take over the center for a few hours.
Both clubs, once I dialed in the launch conditions, outperform my current gamer in total carry. Golfers of all skill levels can find something good in both options, especially golfers looking for a higher launching more forgiving club. The 440, with its more penetrating flight, will be going straight into my bag.
Instead of trying to offer a one-size-fits-all approach, golfers have two heads to choose from, both with different MOI and CG to optimize performance. Combined with the advanced OptiFit hosel, golfers of all skill levels can fine-tune their trajectory and maximize their distance off the tee. I suggest adding the FT OptiForce to the test list the next time you get fit for a new driver.

I have the OptiForce 10.5 degree 460 with the stock Project X PLV x43 5.0 shaft. I set it to +2 degrees and draw. I have hit many drivers in the past few years, Taylor Made Burner, Tour Burner, SLDR, Callaway X2Hot, Cleveland Classic 270, and many more. Nothing comes close to the OptiForce 460 in distance, accuracy, ball flight and sound. Simply love it!
My 11 year old son purchased the FT Optiforce 460 driver using his birthday money. After using it 4 times on the driving range the golf ball struck the top of the club and a golf ball sized hole formed at the top side of the head of the club. We called Callaway and your representative told us this constitutes miss use of the golf club and it will not be covered under warranty. We showed it to the golf club pro and he said this should not have happened and that the club must be defective. My son is so upset he no longer wants to play golf. I am very disappointed at Callaway Golf customer service and that they do not stand behind their product.
I had been looking for a new driver this season to replace a 3-year old G15, and I had found the Cally x-hot was performing best of the bunch earlier this year until the Optiforce which I have demoed twice in the last month. In the review above it mentions the PLVx43 is available from 5.0-6.5. However, 5.5 was the only version I have seen in outlets and I believe is considered the regular flex, but feels more comparable to the stiff from the x-hot. It performs superbly and is not at all whippy as a few commentators seem to have had concerns with. Additionally, although the 460 is obviously the same volume head as the x-hot, the face is noticeably smaller if you hold them up to each other, but at the same time I have found the Optiforce inspires great confidence of a center strike. My usual fault had been considerable heel hits, whereas for some (unknown) reason, pure centre or slight toe mishits are all I can get with this. Really superb sound as has been said, and certainly 10+ yards gain given 46-inch. But, and of course critically, this is straight and forgiving for me, and no ballooning from the 10.5 degree set at neutral. So, I would recommend people concerned that light and fast means out of control, should give it a demo first. At least if they are a mid-handicapper with 90mph-ish swings like me. That said, it needs to fall about 150 in price before I can justify it.
I tried both the Optiforce Drivers and had similar results with the 460CC driver, It ballooned like crazy since it was fairly windy. I tried the 440CC and I kept hitting it poorly since I have a tendency to hit closer to the heel of the driver, the feel was good, but I was just not consistent with it. The callaway guys doing the fittings had me hit the XHOT Driver set to 8.5 and I was hitting it great, except that when we compared the numbers on trackman device it was no better than my old beat up Taylor Made Burner Tour that I bought on the bay for 60$. No mention of the 3Wood? It was okay, it sounded like a bell when you struck it though which was strange. It was also no better than my razr hawk 3wood.
I have the OptiForce 460 driver and find it to be a great driver. It is by far very long and forgiving. Callaways latest offerings are much better than the TaylorMade offerings. I have tried both and will stick with my Optiforce driver. I rate it a solid 5 star driver.
Figures it only gets the rating it did, Taylor Made is not stamped on it so it is only a so so driver. And the new driver TM has coming out already garnished a 5 star rating from this sight and the public has not even seen it yet. Guess we all know who is paying who to say what.
I hit the slider and it had no punch at all for me. The most solid club out there is the Callaway Octane. Yet, I see very few using it, the xhot and all the Taylor Made drivers just do not go as far or as straight. (at least for me)
Building the perfect driver was a long way off (and still is), but Jertson was excited where Ping had landed with the G30. When it was released, the driver was a powerful testament to his vision. Its rear-CG design created great distance on good and bad shots, and it was also a very straight driver. The G30 sold incredibly well and, as a result, the industry mostly shifted away from forward-CG drivers.
G400 Test Results: With the G400, I launched my drives an average of 1.6-degrees higher than I did with the G while dropping spin an average of 416 rpm. That led to a significant improvement in distance. With my swing speed and ball speed staying about the same, I added an average of 7.2 yards more carry distance and 8.7 yards more total distance.
One way to explain the improved launch conditions is that I hit the G400 drivers more consistently. As you can see in the Trackman dispersion chart, I hit the G400 and G400 LST drivers straighter on average than the G and G LST. Is that its slightly enhanced forgiveness shining through? Maybe, maybe not.
Deadpool is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld, the character first appeared in New Mutants #98 (December 1990). In his comic book appearances, Deadpool is initially depicted as a supervillain of the New Mutants and X-Force, though later stories would portray him as an antihero. Deadpool is the alter ego of Wade Wilson, a disfigured Canadian mercenary with superhuman regenerative healing abilities. He is known for his tendency to joke incessantly and break the fourth wall for humorous effect.
The character's popularity has seen him featured in numerous forms of other media. In the 2004 series Cable & Deadpool, he refers to his own scarred appearance as "Ryan Renolds [sic] crossed with a Shar Pei".[6][7] Reynolds himself developed interest in portraying the character when reading this comic,[8] which was ultimately realized in the X-Men film series, including X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), Deadpool (2016), and its sequel Deadpool 2 (2018).[9][10][11] He is set to reprise the role in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[12]
Created by artist/writer Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza,[13][14][15] Deadpool made his first appearance in the pages of The New Mutants #98 cover dated Feb. 1991.[16] According to Nicieza, Liefeld came up with the character's visual design and name, and Nicieza himself came up with the character's speech mannerisms.[17]
Liefeld's favorite comic title before X-Men was Avengers, which featured weapons like Captain America's shield, Thor's hammer and Hawkeye's bow and arrow. Because of this, he decided to give weapons to his new characters as well.[18] Liefeld, also a fan of the Teen Titans comics, showed his new character to then-writer Fabian Nicieza. Upon seeing the costume and noting his characteristics (killer with super agility), Nicieza contacted Liefeld, saying "this is Deathstroke from Teen Titans". Nicieza gave Deadpool the real name of "Wade Wilson" as an inside-joke to being "related" to "Slade Wilson", Deathstroke.[19]
Other inspirations were Wolverine and Snake Eyes. Liefeld states: "Wolverine and Spider-Man were the two properties I was competing with at all times. I didn't have those, I didn't have access to those. I had to make my own Spider-Man and Wolverine. That's what Cable and Deadpool were meant to be, my own Spider-Man and my own Wolverine."[21] "G.I. Joe was my first obsession. Those were the toys in the sandbox with me, kung fu grip, eagle eye, I had them all. G.I. Joe is a world of characters that I have always aspired to participate in. Snake Eyes was a profound influence on my creating Deadpool."[22]
