Episode notes
Three-Layer Face Rewrites Driver Design
- Callaway's Triforce face is a novel three-layer system combining titanium, carbon fiber, and a polymer to improve speed and stability.
- The layered design lets each material play to its strengths to produce faster ball speeds and better spin control.
Why Titanium Stayed On The Face
- Callaway kept titanium as the strike surface to preserve AI-driven micro-deflection tuning and spin control.
- Thinning titanium 14% while supporting it with carbon and polymer unlocked new AI design possibilities.
Use Data-Driven Fitting Protocols
- When fitting tour players, Callaway measures existing heads, runs robot tests, then presents tuned stock heads for conversion.
- Use scientific measurement and robot data to minimize variables during player conversions.
