Callaway And Lamborghini Teaming Up - Exotics and Luxury | Cars, Watches, Houses, Garages

Companies spend millions of dollars each year in research and development for their newest products. Callaway Golf and Automobil Lamborghini S.p.A. have teamed up to create a brand new material for use in Callaway’s golf clubs. The co-developed material, called Forged Composite, is a showcase of how two completely different companies can form an alliance and bring the golf world something truly remarkable. Turbostratic carbon fibers are used in the new material which feature a higher level of strength and performance versus those products currently used in the automotive and golf industries.

Power-to-weight ratio is widely regarded as one of the most important statistics in the automotive world, especially when it comes to supercars. In 2010 Lamborghini unveiled their technological masterpiece, the “Sesto Elemento,” a car that has a ridiculous power-to-weight ratio of just 3.86 pounds per horsepower. At just a hair over 2,200 pounds, the curb weight of the “Sesto Elemento” is an astonishing 750 pounds lighter than the lightest production Lamborghini currently available, the LP570-4 Superleggera.

Callaway has taken a page from the book of Lamborghini and used carbon composites in place of steel and titanium for their club heads. This ability added a greater transfer of power to the ball and has increased the accuracy of trajectories. Lighter and stronger are two words that every golfer is always happy to hear. The new technology is being implemented on the new Diablo Octane Drivers, which are available through Callaway’s Online Store.
