All Callaway Golf woods are shipped with a Callaway Golf headcover.

  • Original Callaway Golf Headcovers

    Provided we have one in stock, you may also purchase an original model-specific headcover. These are available in various conditions ranging from Good to Very Good.
  • Other Manufacturer Equipment

    Trade equipment from other manufacturers will not include a headcover. It is possible that a matching headcover may be available for purchase, but because they are not required for trade items, headcovers are not included with the purchase of non-Callaway Golf products. If you are looking for a headcover from a Other Manufacturer Equipment product, check on our Headcovers page.

Equipment, Terminology & Technology Questions

Uniflex shafts are designed to increase stiffness with increased speed and become more flexible with a slower swing. These are the most common steel shafts in golf today. They are ideal for golfers who normally maintain a swing speed between 75 and 95 miles per hour.

HL is an abbreviation for "High Launch." Clubs designated with HL have a lower center of gravity to assist in launching the ball on a high trajectory.

Draw bias is referring to heel weighting on or in the club that will assist in closing the face upon impact. Draw bias is generally preferred by players who may be battling a slice.

  • Draw Bias – Assists in repairing a fade or slice.
  • Neutral Bias – Weighting concentrated in or on center of club.
  • Fade Bias – Weighting on or in toe of the club to assist in repairing a draw or hook.

Shaft flex is determined by one single factor...swing speed.

Senior or "A" Flex 70-90 mph
Regular Flex 80-90 mph
Stiff Flex 90-100 mph
X-Stiff Flex 100+ mph

When you swing your club, the shaft bends or "loads" to store power. It then straightens or "unloads" to release that power and help create club head speed. The flex point, also called the kick point, is the spot on the shaft where most of that bending takes place. The kick point is important because it helps determine the ball's trajectory after you hit it.

  • Your shaft can have a high, medium or low kick point.
    • Low Kick Point = Higher Trajectory
    • Mid Kick Point = Medium Trajectory
    • High Kick Point = Low Trajectory

CC stands for 'Condition of Competition' which means that the grooves conform to USGA guidelines

Bounce is built into the sole of a wedge to keep it from digging into the turf or sand. The greater the bounce, the more the sole resists digging. Bounce helps prevent "fat" shots by keeping the club moving through the turf or sand. Having enough bounce is particularly important on sand shots. Too much bounce can make shots from firm conditions more difficult to execute.

That is the million dollar question. As each golfer has different needs and abilities, determining the right set can be a daunting task. This question is best answered by speaking to one of our Golf Professionals and providing them with your information and discussing where you want to take your game. As a rule of thumb though, the chart below may assist.

Super Game Improvement (High Handicap, Beginners) Big Bertha Series, MAVRIK Max, EPIC, Rogue X
Game Improvement (Mid Handicap) MAVRIK, Apex, Rogue, X-Series (X20, X22, etc.)
Performance (Low, single digit Handicap) Apex Pro, MAVRIK Pro, Rouge Pro, Tour and Forged Models

The loft of a golf club is the angle created between the clubface and a vertical line and will be different for every club in your bag. The loft will have a direct impact on the height and distance the ball travels; the lower the loft, the lower it flies but further the ball will typically go.

Also known as the club length, it is the length of the club from the ground to the top of the grip.

Lie angle is the angle between the center of the shaft and the sole of the club. Upright means the toe of the club will be higher than standard and flat means the toe of the club will be lower than standard.

We are able to adjust the lie angle on most of our irons. Please contact one of our Golf Professionals to see if your selection may be altered.
