CARLSBAD, Calif., Jan. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Winning 18
total gold medals -- six more than its nearest competitor --
Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced its
industry-leading results for the 2015 Hot List, an annual,
comprehensive golf equipment evaluation conducted by Golf
Digest. A club has to rank high in performance, innovation,
looks, sound and feel, and demand to earn Hot List gold.
Included in the company's 18 gold medal count are gold medals
for each of Callaway's three submitted drivers: the XR Driver/XR
Pro Driver, the Big Bertha Alpha 815 Driver and the Big Bertha V
Series Driver. Comments from testers included:
XR Driver/XR Pro Driver: "It powers through the ball like the
ball isn't even there."
Big Bertha Alpha 815 Driver:
"It's the ideal shape for a driver."
Big Bertha V Series Driver: "Strong but silent. You could bomb
it past your friends, and they'd have no idea."
Also of note, Callaway Golf's XR Fairway Wood and the XR Pro
Fairway Wood (submitted collectively) were the only fairway woods
to earn gold and score a perfect five stars in performance.
Odyssey, the company's putter brand and the #1 Putter in Golf®,
dominated the Hot List putter categories, winning the most gold
medals, including gold in both the blade and mallet categories for
its new Odyssey Works putters.
The 2015 Hot List results continue strong brand momentum for
Callaway, which has more than doubled its PGA TOUR staff since
2012, and reported market share gains and significant improvements
to its operations.
