Was at the range when some random dude walked up in frustration and asked me if I wanted to take "this (explicative ommitted) driver off his hands." So after hitting a few balls, I gave the guy $30 and had my new driver. I love this thing. It is worth noting that this club is shafted with a UST Proforce 65 Stiff Flex shaft, which I believe has as much to do with my success with the club as the head (if not more). I hit this club at least 20 yards farther than other drivers I've owned. Great, boring tragectories time and time again.

This club feels so pure when you hit it well. I have had very accurate drives with this club - it is a little shorter and stiffer than my previous driver. Drivers are a little like putters - they are a very personalized club. This club fits me perfectly. I love the look and feel of it and have gotten great results from it. Quality club. The Taylor Made 200 steel is another quality steelheaded driver. I prefer the Callaway, though. It is easier for me to control. Both these drivers are a steel on ebay these days. By the way, I ordered a GBB Hawkeye Ti at the same time I ordered the Steelhead, and I much prefered the Steelhead. The Hawkeye was regular flex graphite and 11 degrees, and the trajectory was too high and I couldn't control it. It was a lousy club for me.

I received this club as a christmas present in 1999. It had a regular graphite shaft. Since then I have gone through 2 shafts (broken twice from leaning down with club to put tee in ground!) Anyway, now play with a firm graphite shaft. Hit the ball on average 225 yards BUT ALWAYS ALWAYS STRAIGHT. I regularly shoot between 78-84 shots and play off a 10 handicapp. As you can see I don't hit the ball a long way but the answer to good golf is not distance it is direction. This club offers a lot of forgiveness again, not the longest out there but deadly accurate.

A number of the oversize headed drivers. Lost accuracy.

Bought the steel shafted 3 and 5 wood version of this club and liked them so much that I recently ordered the Driver. This new version of the "original" Steelhead actually closer resembles the "Plus" model with its slightly larger heads and less curved sole plate. Appearance wise, with its curvy lines,shiny unpainted face with white score lines--the club is attractive in an understated/classic forged iron kind of way. Performance wise, you could not ask for much more from a club. With the more stable steel shaft the sweet spot is pretty much the entire face, and the feel off the clubface is much livelier than the older version of the Steelhead. The steel shaft flex is firm, perfect for my 95mph swing(110mph+ swingers will want to reshaft to a DG S300 or X100). I'm 40yrs old and have been playing golf for almost 20yrs--and I'm through playing with graphite shafts(they're fussy to swing,less accurate,too light,torque and shudder--which is the reason everyone playing them is constantly reshafting one graphite for another graphite hoping to find that elusive magic bullet). They can make a graphite shaft with the low torque of steel, but steel is an inherently lively/springy/responsive material which can never be duplicated by graphite. Graphite is fine for weaker golphers with slower swing speeds and/or golphers that generate all their power solely from the arms and wrists, but most others would do better with steel. As for distance, with the 95mph swing the 5 wood goes about 230yds, the 3 wood 225-250, so I figure the driver will probably be in the 240-280yd range depending on how much roll I get. If you are new to golf, my advice for steel headed driver loft choice would be as follows: Only two category of golphers should play low lofted(e.g 7.5*-- 9*) drivers--one would be superfast 110mph+swingers, and the other would be the many thousand of hacks out there that incorrectly tee the ball up too high and make impact with the ball on the upswing(effectively increasing loft while also losing power). For most all other players I would say 10* to 11* is about optimal--I chose 11* because the trend in high performance balls these days seems to be ones that produce lower trajectories, and club makers have done a great job in producing woods that provide a more boring trajectory than woods of the past. Anyhow, if you are wondering wether or not you should replace your current driver or want to compare one driver to another--a great way to gauge clubs is by adding up the total yards off of the tee shots on par 4 and par 5 holes in a round of golf--then divide by the total number of par 4+5 holes. If your #3wood averages longer than your driver then you definitely need a different driver(you can compare drivers this way also). What I'm trying to say is that total avg yds is what makes a club long--which means accuracy and consistency will play a big factor in that. Oh yeah, I also really do love these new Steelheads

Im a skinny 14 year old from indiana an i bought the seelhead about 2 years ago and it took me a little while for me to get used to it. I have worked on my swing a bit and now i crush it about 230-245. It makes so much difference being in 8 iron range to the green instead of 6 iron. I LOVE this club!!!

Perfect...had a Steelhead and after 2 years of playing it - found a dent in the face plate near the toe (probably from a mis-hit). Called them up and told them my problem - they sent me out a BRAND NE

I am convinced that the Steelhead, not the + or III, remains the best steelheaded club Callaway has made. I have the steel shaft version, which allows be to stand much closer to the ball than does a club with a titanium head and a 45" shaft. All in all, I think I may hit titanium clubs 15 yards longer than this Steelhead, but I hit far more fairways. That's a trade I'll gladly make.

Callaway is uniformly superb in this area.

I bought this driver a few months ago. It seems to be an updated Steelhead. In fact, it appears Callaway is using the Steelhead Plus head design with the VFT and the scoreline pattern on the face, but leaving the head grey and calling it "Steelhead." Anyway if you are looking for control off the tee this is a good choice without spending a fortune. Don''''t let the small head fool you, almost the entire clubface is sweetspot and if you have a high swing-speed it still goes a long way. I have the steel shaft which further enhances control. I have tried so many drivers with the latest tech and for me this plain steelhead, steelshafted driver is the best.
