"Drive for show - putt for dough" is an expression often cited as justification for hitting bad drives. But that simply ignores the importance of hitting a good drive like you get when you hit Callaway golf drivers.

Bad drives will cost you strokes if you hit into water hazards, traps or the woods and most dramatically if you hit it out of bounds. Getting that little white sphere off the tee and into the fairway with some distance is what Callaway drivers are noted for.
