What we say...
The Tech:
Designed for extreme forgiveness, high launch, maximum ball speeds and distance. A forged hyper cup face helps maintain high ball speeds no matter where you hit shots on the face. A wider head shape raises MOI performance whilst also boosting confidence.
Our verdict:
How many times have we been told wider body clubs improve MOI and ball speed performance? Well the data we collected with the OS completely backs up the theory. It’s a wider head and Callaway don’t shy away from it, and thanks to it the OS protected ball speed alongside the very best on test. The impressive performance didn’t end there either. It was one of the highest launching and flying hybrids which means excellent drop and stop capability on the greens. It was only out done by a handful of yards for top spot when it came to carry distance.
Bottom line:
An excellent hybrid that delivers the extra ball speed and distance that the majority of golfers need at the top end of their bags. Our test pro thought 80% of golfers would be better off with a wide body hybrid like the OS compared to a narrower bodied alternative.
