Ever since the furor erupted in Mid-October concerning Callaway's decision to sell the non-conforming ERC II driver in the United States, I have considered when and how would be the best way for. The clubface on my ERC II looks just like the clubface on any other driver I ever picked up, including my treasured Schwarzenegger Bertha. Of course, it could be my swing. CARLSBAD, CA., May 14, 2001 – Callaway Golf (NYSE: ELY) Staff Professional Dean Wilson won the Japan PGA Championship using a Big Bertha® ERC™ II Forged Titanium Driver and the 'Rule 35'® golf ball yesterday. Wilson also used fairway woods, irons and a putter made by Callaway Golf in earning the second win of his career on the Japan Golf Tour.
CARLSBAD, CA, October 24, 2000 – Callaway Golf Company (NYSE:ELY) today introduced the new ERC™ II Forged Titanium Driver, a revolutionary breakthrough in golf club technology. The new ERC II Driver, which conforms with all R&A equipment regulations, is packed with exciting new design innovations to help golfers of all skill levels achieve unmatched distance, forgiveness and enjoyment.
'The ERC II Driver can give any golfer an even greater chance to enjoy extra distance off the tee – even if he or she strikes the ball even just fairly well,' said Ely Callaway, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Callaway Golf. 'It is a much more forgiving driver than any we have ever made, and we believe that this exceptionally thin, very hot clubface combined with the very forgiving performance that is built into each ERC II Driver will greatly benefit golfers all over the world.'
Delivery of ERC II Drivers will begin in limited quantities to authorized Callaway Golf retailers worldwide no later than January 2001.
'Designing the ERC II was a dream experience,' said Richard C. Helmstetter, Senior Executive Vice President of Research and Development and Chief of New Products. 'We had no restrictions, so we were able to think outside the box to accomplish our goal of making the energy transfer from club to ball as efficient as possible. This allows golfers to generate more ball speed without swinging harder, which leads to greater distance. We used a combination of advanced new computer design technology and hands-on research with golfers from around the world. As a result, we created some design elements that go beyond any previous driver designs. Feedback from the players who have tested this driver indicates that our efforts dramatically improved the performance all golfers can get expect to get from these drivers.'
The breakthrough performance delivered by the ERC II Forged Titanium Drivers comes from a combination of the most extensive application yet of Callaway Golf's patented Variable Face Thickness (VFT) Technology and an innovative new clubhead production process. This technology was first used by Callaway Golf in the tour-proven Big Bertha® Steelhead Plus™ Stainless Steel Metal Woods and the original ERC Forged Titanium Driver. With VFT Technology, the thickness of the clubface tapers from thickest in an area near the center to thinnest around the perimeter. Callaway Golf's engineers use this technology to make the energy transfer between ball and club more efficient. The result is better launch conditions, which help golfers of all skill levels achieve more distance and greater forgiveness.
The ERC II Forged Titanium Drivers feature an innovative five-part clubhead design: A forged face, hot-formed sole and crown, a precision weight chip and an internal suspended hosel. The forging process makes the titanium used in the face area stronger, allowing for extremely thin areas around the perimeter and the most extreme application of VFT Technology. This allows golfers to generate more ball speed without swinging harder, and it also improves forgiveness on off-center hits. The unique Cup Face Design further enhances the effectiveness of VFT Technology by moving the weld areas between the face and the sole and body farther away from the face, further reducing the face thickness around the perimeter of the clubface without compromising durability. The internal hosel moves weight away from the clubface, increasing the clubhead's effective hitting area for greater forgiveness.
The 330cc ERC II Forged Titanium Drivers are approximately 11 percent larger than the original ERC Forged Titanium Drivers. The larger size increases the sweet spot and inspires greater visual confidence. The depth of the driver head has been made greater relative to its length, which increases the aspect ratio of the clubhead. This design feature, combined with internal weight chip in the rear of the clubhead, fine-tunes the center of gravity for a higher launch angle and lower spin. This 'high launch-low spin' combination benefits all golfers by helping launch the ball on a penetrating trajectory for greater carry and roll.
The ERC II Forged Titanium Drivers also feature a new family of ultralight graphite shafts that are directly related to another design innovation. A thermoplastic shaft sleeve is bonded between the clubhead and shaft to absorb stress during impact. This technology was a key in the design of the new high-performance System 50 Ultralight graphite shafts that were designed especially for use with the ERC II Forged Titanium Drivers. These shafts provide lower torque with a lively feel, creating Tuned Performance between the shaft and clubhead. Each individual flex of the System 50 Ultralight shafts has a specific weight, length and design to match the driver head.
ERC II Forged Titanium Drivers are available in lofts from 8 to 12 degrees with System 50 ultralight graphite shafts in light, regular, firm and strong flexes in both right- and left-handed models.

'We believe the ERC Fusion Driver is the most technologicallyadvanced driver ever made,' said Ron Drapeau, Chairman and CEO ofCallaway Golf. 'It is unlike any other driver on the market anywherein the world. There are other metal woods that use both titanium andcomposite materials, but none of them integrates the full benefits ofthe two materials as extensively -- and successfully -- as the ERCFusion Driver. This is not a titanium driver with a composite body,nor is it a composite driver with a titanium face. This is a uniquedriver made with Fusion Technology, and we believe golfers of allskill levels will enjoy the potential distance and forgivenessbenefits of the ERC Fusion Driver.'
The Fusion Technology that powers the ERC Fusion Driver is thesuccessful blend of two design elements created and refined byCallaway Golf. First is the forged titanium cup-face design, whichwraps around the face of the club and extends into the crown, ribbonand sole areas of the clubhead. This is similar to the face designfirst used by the Company in its legendary ERC II(R) Forged TitaniumDriver, and encompasses Callaway Golf's Variable Face Thickness (VFT)Technology. The cup-face construction makes the clubface stronger inkey, high-stress areas for greater strength, while VFT(R) Technologycreates a highly efficient transfer of energy from clubhead to golfball at impact to help achieve the maximum COR allowed by the USGA andR&A. The titanium cup-face used in the ERC Fusion Driver is alsoprecisely tuned to create the powerful sound golfers want to hear atimpact.

The second major element of the Fusion Technology used in the ERCFusion Driver is its super-lightweight composite body. This is thesame material Callaway Golf first used in the Big Bertha C4(R) Driver,which is a high-strength, multi-direction carbon composite similar tothose used in other high-strength lightweight applications likeaerospace and high-end performance vehicles. Using this lightweightmaterial allows Callaway Golf engineers to move 45 to 50 grams ofweight away from the center of the clubhead - where it has littlebenefit - to the back and perimeter of the driver using threehigh-density internal weight strips.

Callaway Golf's unique internal weighting system accounts forapproximately 25 percent of the clubhead mass, and is calibrated toactively influence ball flight and help golfers choose the ERC FusionDriver that best suits their swing:
The ERC Fusion Driver already is one of the most popular driversacross the world's major professional tours, where Callaway Golf hasbeen testing the driver as a prototype over the last several weeks.This past weekend, Annika Sorenstam switched to the ERC Fusion Driverand won her fifth LPGA Tour event of the year while Nationwide Tourrookie James Oh, age 21, used the ERC Fusion Driver in his firstprofessional victory and became the youngest winner of a PGA Tourco-sponsored event in history. More than 90 professionals used the ERCFusion Driver last week alone despite limited availability, and it hasalready become the No. 1 driver model on both the PGA European andJapan Golf tours in recent weeks. Most Tour professionals who haveused the driver report that it produces a strong ball flight withexceptional forgiveness and a 'hot' sound at impact. One touring prowho is not a Callaway Golf Staff Professional switched to the ERCFusion Driver and won a Champions Tour event for his first victory inmore than a year and later explained to the media how the ERC FusionDriver was the key to his victory.
ERC Fusion Drivers feature Callaway Golf's new RCH System 55graphite shaft in strong, firm, regular and light flexes. Thislightweight shaft is 45 inches long, which is long enough to helpproduce exceptional clubhead speed while still delivering control andbalance. For women, the new RCH System 50 graphite shaft is an inchshorter and even lighter. For golfers looking for more shaft options,ERC Fusion Drivers will also be available by special order with anumber of popular after-market shafts factory-installed.
'The goal of Callaway Golf is to make products that aredemonstrably superior and pleasingly different, and ERC Fusion morethan delivers on that promise,' said Patrice Hutin, President andChief Operating Officer of Callaway Golf. 'ERC Fusion is a productonly Callaway Golf could conceive and manufacture, and more than 70patents cover this driver's remarkable technology. We believe golfersof all skill levels will love the ERC Fusion Driver, as it willdeliver the performance and enjoyment they expect from the industryleader in golf club innovation.'
The ERC Fusion Driver will carry a suggested retail price of $625.A version of the driver that conforms to international standards setby the R&A for amateur golf but exceeds the limits on COR set by theUSGA will be marketed outside of North America. This driver, known asthe ERC Fusion+ Driver, has an ultra-hot titanium face that exceedsthe 0.830 limit on COR.
