Callaway Triple Diamond MAX Driver

With each driver release cycle, Callaway Golf has continued to be at the forefront of providing a breadth of models to ensure that every type of golfer has something within the lineup that addresses their specific needs. However, there have always been a handful of other models which make their way around Tour bags and inevitably are seen by the internet sleuths of the world. With that, there is usually some push back as to why we mere mortals can’t get our hands on those versions. That ends now, because for the first time, Callaway Golf is bringing the Triple Diamond MAX to a general release, TD MAX for short.

People asked for it, and Callaway listened, as the previously Tour only Triple Diamond MAX driver head is set to be the fifth driver in their current release lineup. Now, before someone thinks they are doing this simply to be reactionary and to drum up buzz for their current release, we would remind everyone that the brand currently holds the #1 market share spot for woods across the board. This is a want-to kind of release, not a have to, and that just adds to the excitement.

The Triple Diamond MAX is currently Callaway’s second most played driver on all Tours. It takes the DNA which has made the 450cc Triple Diamond their Tour staple and morphs it into 460cc of intrigue. This head is a blending of profiles, taking both the traits of the Triple Diamond as well as the MOI of the MAX to create the most stable players style driver in the Callaway arsenal.

As far as the design goes, the TD MAX has less face progression than the standard TD and is also overall a much more neutral head. According to Callaway, this means the start line off of this head will be much more neutral while adding more stability to the headshape thanks to the MAX construction aspects. What you get is slightly more spin than the TD, but with a much higher MOI for additional control and versatility. 

During testing on Tour, it was noted by the Callaway staff that “stability” was the constant feedback which they received. That stability is what caused gains to take place for Tour staff as it allowed them to swing more freely and aggressively. The head itself doesn’t utilize the sliding track of the base MAX model, but instead maintains the front/back weighting of the Triple Diamond (10g/4g) which in coordination with the Opti-Fit adapter keeps the broad range of fitting potential Callaway is known for. 

The Details

Callaway is pairing the Triple Diamond MAXbwith the Project X Denali Blue (S or X) rather than the Black as the stock option and is finishing it with the Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360. The head will be RH only and will be offered in 10.5 and 9.0 lofts. As expected, pricing will be in line with the rest of the Ai Smoke lineup, coming in at $599.99. The driver will be available for pre-order on 5/21/24 and at retail on 6/7/24.
