CARLSBAD, CA, February 7, 2006 – Callaway Golf Company
(NYSE: ELY) today announced the introduction of its Callaway Golf® X Junior Set
specifically designed for junior golfers. The X Junior Set (http://www.callawaygolf.com/en.CLUBS.JuniorSets.XJuniorSet.html)
includes six clubs, a putter and a bag. Each club is loaded with much of the
same technological and innovative design advancements Callaway Golf has put into
its men’s and women’s X Series® Clubs for years.
The X Junior Set is small in size only, designed for boys and girls between
the ages of 8 and 12 and/or between approximately 4'2" and 4'11" in height. The
XJ Series™ Clubs include two woods (a 16-degree driver and 24-degree fairway
wood), three irons (5, 7, and 9), a 56-degree sand wedge and an XJ Odyssey®
2-Ball Putter.
The driver is a smaller (360cc), all-titanium version of the popular X460®
Driver. Like its big brother, it features the Consistent Alignment Sole and a
large effective hitting area for more distance and forgiveness. The stainless
steel fairway wood features the X-Sole™ Design for consistent alignment and
perimeter weighting to help get the ball in the air quickly and easily.
The cavity back irons feature Extreme Notch Weighting for amazing forgiveness
and stability.
XJ Odyssey 2-Ball Putter uses the revolutionary 2-Ball
alignment system to make lining up putts easier so more putts find their way
into the hole.
Everything comes in a lightweight stand bag that incorporates a
3-way triangular top, seven zippered pockets, a double strap, an MP3 player
holder and a rain hood.
The X Junior Set is also available in a left-handed version. It will be
available at retail on February 15 at a suggested retail price of $275.
