Callaway ERC Fusion

Sole View

Callaway Golf has introduced the ERC Fusion Driver - featuring radical new Fusion Technology for explosive performance off the tee. Bearing the initials of Company founder Ely Reeves Callaway, the ERC Fusion Driver represents the most forward-looking design Callaway Golf has ever brought to market. The driver combines a high-performance forged titanium "cup-face" with a lightweight carbon composite body that contains strategically located internal weighting. The result is a driver that fuses the best elements of titanium and composites by taking full advantage of both materials. The ERC Fusion Driver conforms to the Rules of Golf as administered by the USGA and the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.

• The 11° and 12° ERC Fusion Drivers have more weight positioned in the heel and have a slightly closed face angle to help higher-handicap players square the clubface at impact and reduce slice-creating sidespin.
• The 8°, 9° and 10° ERC Fusion Drivers have internal weighting that is more evenly spread across the perimeter of the clubhead, which works with a square face angle to help golfers produce a straight, repeatable ball flight.
• And the 7.5°, 8.5°, 9.5° and 10.5° ERC Fusion Drivers have more weight toward the toe of the clubhead and slightly open face angles to help better players with higher swing speeds to shape their shots as desired, whether that be a controlled draw or a power fade.

ERC Fusion Drivers feature Callaway Golf's new RCH System 55 graphite shaft in strong, firm, regular and light flexes. This lightweight shaft is 45 inches long, which is long enough to help produce exceptional clubhead speed while still delivering control and balance. For women, the new RCH System 50 graphite shaft is an inch shorter and even lighter. For golfers looking for more shaft options, ERC Fusion Drivers will also be available by special order with a number of popular after-market shafts factory-installed.

A version of the driver that conforms to international standards set by the R&A for amateur golf but exceeds the limits on COR set by the USGA will be marketed outside of North America. This driver, known as the ERC Fusion+ Driver, has an ultra-hot titanium face that exceeds the 0.830 limit on COR.
