Great Driver!
By Joe from Twin Falls, Idaho on May 26, 2012
I've had this as a replacement for an '09 TalyorMade Burner that cracked. I liked the Burner, but a replacement was not available so I ordered this club. To my surprise, not only do I love the feel of this driver, I hit more consistently and every bit as long or longer then with my Burner. I'm not a great golfer, average in the upper 80s low 90s, but I have already shot better rounds with the consistency of the Calloway Diablo Octane. I'd highly recommend to beginning to average golfers.
Pros:
The feel, the forgiveness, the consistency, and the length of the drive.Cons:
N/AI would recommend this item to a friend.
Diablo Octane Driver
By William from Woodstock,On Canada on May 24, 2012
I am generally happy with the Diablo Octane driver, it's a very versitile driver allowing me to hit shots like draws much easier. It does take some getting use to compared to other drivers, I found getting use to the lightness and club head size was the biggest curve for me but when you do find the sweet spot this driver does deliver top performance!!
Pros:
weight of club
shot making capabilitiesI would recommend this item to a friend.
Just what I needed
By Jerry from Milan, IL on May 22, 2012
My new driver showed up in three days which was great. I have only used it at the range so far. I could tell after my first drive that I liked it. I have been fighting a slice. This driver appears to be helping me straighten it out. At the low price that I paid I feel it was a great deal.
Pros:
forgiving
long and straight
Cons:
so far so good, nothing to dislike.I would recommend this item to a friend.
WOW!!!!
By Travis from Machias, Maine on May 22, 2012
My first try at the 400cc+ driver. I am amazed at the improvements in technology since my last driver update. SUPER long. I have gained 35+ yards on my out of date driver. Even get good drives out of hits not flush in the sweet spot.
Pros:
Feel
Forgiveness
DistanceI would recommend this item to a friend.
Very Disappointed
By GARY DAUBS from london ontario canada on May 22, 2012
I bought this club after my 2007 Burner broke at the hosel. I checked rock bottom and the golf digest buyers guide to get a good brand name driver.I thought I was getting a good driver but I cannot stop it from pushing every ball to the right. A big fad to a large slice and I NEVER I repeat NEVER did this with my old Burner.I'm actually having a new shaft put on my old Burner so the deal I thought I was getting from Rock Bottom turned out to be not much of a deal. Im very frustrated and disappointed. I've bought stuff from the Rock before and been very happy with it. My old Burner and some wedges but not this club .
Pros:
NothingCons:
It does not let me keep the ball from fading to slicing the ball.Have tried everthing.My old burner I could turn it over once in a while for a draw.This club I cannot even hit it straightAmazing
By Jason from Portland, Oregon on May 21, 2012
I have always been a fan of Nike and Adams drivers. I was in the market and decided to go hit a few different ones. i tried the Nike machspeed, Nike VR, Adams Speedline, some Taylormade drivers and a couple others. None even compared with how nice this club is. Great distance and very easy to hit. Go out and buy this club before they are gone!!! You wont be disappointed.
Pros:
Distance
Smooth
Easy to hit.I would recommend this item to a friend.
Hitting The Ball Further
By Dennis from Indianapolis, IN on May 17, 2012
I just received my Diablo Driver today. Normally I can hit a driver about 250 yards. With this driver I am hitting the ball 250 yards in the air. The Project X stiff shaft and 9.5 degree loft was the perfect combination for me. The club looks and feel great and responds even better. The head cover is extremely sharp. All in all, a great purchase
Pros:
Great look and feelCons:
NothingI would recommend this item to a friend.
GREAT CLUB
By Christopher from Justice, IL on May 16, 2012
I love this driver. Used to hit a 450cc titanium forged Nike from way back in the day. This new club is lightweight, easy to swing, the extra inch in the shaft is barely noticeable and gives me a few extra yards on my drive. The sound is exactly the kind you want your ear to learn to pick up. Not so crazy about some of the "tribal" graphics on the club head and shaft. They don't really stand out, but at the same time, wish they weren't there.
Pros:
light
fast
durableCons:
tribal graphicsI would recommend this item to a friend.
Amazing driver
By William from Carl Junction, Missouri on May 10, 2012
I just received this yesterday and played a round with it today without any practice. I am amazed at how nice it hits. Long and straight is what I had all day. This was an upgrade from the Callaway Edge that I was using and well worth the purchase.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Great Driver
By Paul from Murphysboro, Il. on May 9, 2012
This is a terrific driver at an outstanding price. It has a wonderful solid feel at impact and is longer than the Diablo Edge and Taylor Made Burner. Get It!
Pros:
Long
Feel

Big sweet spot, instantly added distance!!
By Matt from Kalamazoo, MI on May 5, 2012
Just got back from the range to test out my new Callaway Diablo Octance (Stiff flex, 10.5 degree) driver. First hit was a thing of beauty - great sound, light weight to swing but can feel the club head well and just laid into the ball. I had an old driver that was put together from GolfSmith (460cc square head) and I would get anywhere from 225-230 total drive. With this club, the ball was in the air for 240-250! Big sweet spot on this club too and also allows you to shape your shot a bit if you want. I was just amazed at how easy it was to lay into the ball and come out with a burner through the air!! Love this club so far and can't wait to get it out on the course.
P.S. I was really wanting the Taylormade SuperFast Burner, but it was temporarily sold out when I went to buy. I'm not in the least upset with my decision to go with the Diablo Octane!!
Pros:
Big sweet spot
Great sound
Lightweight, but not "too lightweight"
Aesthetically beautiful club!Cons:
Grip could be upgradedI would recommend this item to a friend.
Great value for the price
By Dave from Baltimore, Maryland on March 31, 2012
Needed a driver to keep up with the "Big hiiters" I play with every Spring and Fall. I am very please with this driver. Feels good on back swing and through the strike zone. Very forgiving sweetspot if you don't overswing. I still have the mishit but have greater confindence using this club
Pros:
Sound
Swing and Feel
Overall performanceCons:
Size makes it easy to damage pulling out irons from the bag.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Sweet Feel!
By El Gordo from Calgary, AB Canada. on December 9, 2011
Even though ordering this in November into Canada, I've hit this club a few times (indoors) and absolutely love the swing, the feel and the balance of the Diablo Octane. The only thing better than the actual club was the on-line purchase experience. I was a first-time Rock-Bottom purchaser, but with the OUTSTANDING pricing, the ease of ordering and the TERRIFIC shipping (3 days in hand, in Canada!) this was EASILY the best on-line purchasing experience I've had. Can't wait to order more!
Pros:
The swing feel -- so completely natural.Cons:
Not getting one sooner!I would recommend this item to a friend.
