The Callaway X range of irons represent state of the art golfing technology, when it comes to choosing the best golf club you would be hard pressed to find a better product.
Precision Notch WeightingPrecision Notch Weighting
Precisely positions more weight to the perimeter of the iron to create a higher moment of inertia (MOI) for greater forgiveness and stability while maintaining the center of gravity position that produces ideal trajectories and feel.

Tru-BoreTour-Inspired Head Shape
Callaway engineers took elements designed for Tour players, like a thinner top line and narrower sole, and incorporated them into highly forgiving irons with a higher MOI so they can be played by a wide range of golfers.

Modified Tru-Bore
An advanced version of the original Tru-Bore design, the polycarbonate tip plug at the end of the shaft dampens vibration for enhanced feel and performance.

X20 - Progressive Wall Reduction System- Enables Callaway Golf engineers to lower the center of gravity 6 percent more than in the X-18 Irons for improved feel and playability.

The X-series Irons by Callaway Golf have been favored by pro golfers all over the world  because of the technology built into each iron. Many of the best players in the world prefer  these clubs because of the performance enhancing design of each club.

Combining some great looks and an extremely forgiving iron, these clubs are loved by many recreational Golfers as well. Patented Callaway Golf Core Technologies- VFT Technology maximizes ball speed and perimeter weighting for more distance and forgiveness; S2H2 increases discretionary weight by removing it from the hosel and repositioning it in the perimeter of the clubhead.

The new X-18 and x18 Pro series irons combine the same patented technologies used in prior x series Callaway Irons models. This model sports a new head shape and size, but includes all the advancements of the older models.

Callaway Big Bertha Overview and Features

The Big Bertha is a 460cc driver that has a  shallower face with a  flatter shape for longer and straighter drives off the tee, even if you strike off center. 
A Deeper center of gravity means much more power
The correct alignment for the golfer is guided by the Chevron logo
VFT face design results in a more robust face and vastly increased ball speed
Description

The Driver is an all-titanium design, the Callaway Big Bertha 460 driver is designed to be just within the limits of the R&A and USGA. The head is stretched and flattened to produce lower and flatter hits. The deeper center of gravity ensures longer and straighter hits with off-center shots and maximizes forgiveness. The driver has modified VFT Technology which means that face thickness is designed specifically to maximize the drivers conditions under the USGA Characteristic Time test, resulting in a much more robust face and increased ball speed from strikes anywhere on the face.

The wider head shape results in the highest MOI of all the Callway titanium head drivers, producing more stability and straighter shots.

To help the shots start on-lone and elminated any rocking back and forth, the Callway Big Bertha 460 driver has Consistent Alignment Sole which ensures that the club rests on two stable areas of the sole. It also has a Correct Alignment Stripe which allows golfers to square up with the correct alignment.

The 2009 Yamaha YZF R1 is like no other 1000cc machine period.

This is like no in-line-four cylinder sportsbike ever produced. It’s simply sensational.  The Yamaha R1’s has an ultra-short-stroke engine using a cross-plane crankshaft, with the crank pins set at 90° and has irregular firing intervals (bang bang), which is tech taken straight from Valentino Rossi’s factory Yamaha.  At a standstill the motor free revs like a two-stroke and once mobile the R1’s ability to accelerate hard, no matter where you are in the rev range is simply fantastic. The all new engine design  grunts off corners like a big V-twin and screams along straights like the nasty in-line-four it really is.  The best part of all is that  it sounds just like Rossi’s factory M1 at full noise.
