Revolutionary Tri-Force Face Technology Explained
The Callaway Quantum driver range-defining innovation centres on the Tri-Force Face, representing the first time ultra-thin, high-strength titanium, poly mesh, and carbon fibre have been combined in a fully integrated driver face system. Understanding this technology helps appreciate why Quantum drivers command premium pricing and deliver measurable performance advantages.
Callaway Quantum Driver – Side View
The Three-Layer Construction
Layer 1: Ultra-Thin, High-Strength Titanium
The striking surface employs Callaway’s thinnest titanium face ever produced, maximising flex at impact for enhanced ball speed. Traditional titanium faces a trade-off between thickness and durability, limiting how thin manufacturers can engineer it. Callaway’s breakthrough involves supporting layers that enable ultra-thin construction without compromising structural integrity.
Layer 2: Poly Mesh Integration
Behind the titanium striking surface is a poly mesh layer that provides structural support whilst allowing controlled flex patterns. This mesh acts as a spring system, storing energy during the milliseconds of ball contact and releasing it efficiently through impact. The poly mesh’s strategic placement allows the ultra-thin titanium to flex more aggressively without increasing the risk of failure.
Layer 3: Carbon Fibre Backing
The innermost layer employs carbon fibre for lightweight strength and vibration dampening. Carbon fibre’s exceptional strength-to-weight ratio allows Callaway to redistribute mass saved from the face to strategic perimeter locations, increasing MOI for enhanced forgiveness. The carbon fibre also improves sound and feel characteristics compared to all-titanium constructions.
Next Generation AI Optimisation
Previous Callaway drivers employed AI to optimise single-material faces. The Quantum range’s AI modelling accounts for how three distinct materials with different properties interact under dynamic impact loading. This represents exponentially more complex computational challenges, requiring advanced machine learning to map optimal thickness variations across the entire face.
The AI system analysed thousands of impact scenarios, accounting for real golfer swing patterns, strike locations, and ball flight preferences. Every microscopic region of the face was precisely tuned to optimise speed, spin, launch angle, and accuracy based on where golfers actually make contact, rather than theoretical perfect centre strikes.
Real-World Performance Benefits
Independent testing confirms the Tri-Force Face delivers measurable advantages:
Ball Speed Maintenance: Off-centre strikes lose 2-3 mph of ball speed compared to previous Callaway drivers
Expanded Sweet Spot: High ball speed zone measures approximately 15% larger than the previous generation
Spin Consistency: Spin variation across the face reduced by 200-300 RPM on mishits

It’s basically their most AI optimised face as well as their design high levels optimised face, this triforce face, which is going to basically work with all the clubs, they’re trying to sustain ball speed, keep ball speed constant when you’re hitting all across the face cuz we have a drop off in ball speeds. They’re trying to keep them up.”
#1: Callaway Quantum Max Driver – Maximum Forgiveness Champion
Loading widget...
The Callaway Quantum Driver Max version is the most user-friendly option in the range, engineered for golfers who prioritise forgiveness, consistency, and confidence over absolute maximum performance. Priced at £529, this driver combines the revolutionary Tri-Force Face with the highest MOI in the Quantum lineup, creating a driver that helps golfers find more fairways whilst maintaining competitive distance.
Design Philosophy & Construction
Callaway engineered the Quantum Max with a singular focus: create the most forgiving driver possible whilst maintaining tour-level ball speeds. The full 460cc head size maximises moment of inertia, resisting twisting on off-centre strikes. A carbon crown reduces weight from the top of the clubhead and redistributes it to strategic perimeter locations for enhanced stability.
The adjustable 10g weight system positioned at the back of the sole allows personalisation between neutral and draw setups. This weight proves particularly valuable for golfers whose miss patterns vary with conditions or whose swings evolve through lessons. The grey accent around the crown’s perimeter creates visual contrast against the black carbon, aiding alignment at address.
Key Technologies & Features
APW Adjustable Weight System
The 10g Adjustable Perimeter Weighting system offers neutral and draw configurations. Moving the weight to the heel position promotes a draw bias for slice fighters or those wanting reliable right-to-left shape. The neutral setting provides straight flight for golfers with balanced swings. The refined, more compact weight design simplifies adjustment compared to previous Callaway systems.
OptiFit Hosel Adjustability
Eight configurations provide independent loft and lie adjustments, allowing precise tuning of launch angle and shot shape. This system proves particularly valuable during custom fitting, enabling fitters to dial in optimal specifications without multiple head changes. Adjustments range from higher trajectory to straighter ball flight to draw-biased setups.
Clean, Streamlined Shape
The confidence-inspiring profile sits beautifully at address with neutral CG positioning. The grey crown accent provides subtle contrast, aiding alignment without appearing busy or distracting. The streamlined shape appeals to a wide range of skill levels and avoids the overly bulky appearance that some high-MOI drivers exhibit.
Performance Characteristics
The Quantum Max delivers mid to low spin with fast ball speeds across the entire face. Neutral CG positioning delivers versatile performance, accommodating golfers with varying spin rates. Launch angle trends slightly higher than those of Triple Diamond models, benefiting golfers with moderate swing speeds who need trajectory assistance.
Forgiveness rates exceptionally high, with the Tri-Force Face maintaining ball speed even on toe and heel strikes. The high MOI construction resists gear effect, keeping off-centre strikes closer to the target line than lower MOI alternatives. Sound and feel provide satisfying feedback without harshness, thanks to the carbon fibre backing layer.

#2: Callaway Quantum Driver Max D Version – Draw Bias Specialist
Loading widget...
The Callaway Quantum Driver Max D version shares the Quantum Max’s forgiveness-first philosophy, whilst adding strategic heel weighting to promote draw bias. Priced identically at £529, this driver targets golfers fighting slices or those naturally fading the ball who want reliable right-to-left shape without sacrificing the Tri-Force Face’s performance benefits.
Draw Bias Engineering
Rather than simply repositioning weight, Callaway employed sophisticated internal heel weighting strategically placed to promote draw without creating hooks for golfers with neutral swings. This approach differs from external heel weights used by some competitors, maintaining a clean aesthetic whilst delivering functional draw assistance.
The heel weighting shifts the centre of gravity towards the heel section, naturally closing the face through impact for golfers whose swings leave the face open at contact. This is particularly effective for slice fighters whose ball starts right and curves further right, resulting in significant loss of distance and accuracy.
Key Technologies & Features
Internal Heel Weighting System
A strategically added internal weight in the heel section promotes a slight draw bias to reduce slice and enhance draw. Unlike adjustable systems requiring tools, this permanent weighting provides consistent draw assistance on every swing. The internal placement maintains the clean sole appearance golfers expect from premium drivers.
High MOI Construction
Despite the draw-biased weighting, the Max D maintains exceptionally high MOI for forgiveness on off-centre strikes. This proves critical because slice fighters often compound poor face angle with inconsistent contact. The combination of draw bias and forgiveness addresses both issues simultaneously.
Easy Launch Profile
The Max D features slightly higher launch characteristics compared to the standard Max, benefiting golfers whose slices often result from insufficient dynamic loft at impact. The higher launch, combined with draw bias, creates straighter, longer drives for players struggling with low, weak fades.
Performance Characteristics
The Quantum Max D delivers similar forgiveness to the standard Max while promoting a 5-10-yard draw bias for golfers with neutral swings. Slice fighters experience more dramatic correction, often seeing their typical 20-30 yard slice reduced to a manageable 5-10 yard fade or even straight flight.
Ball speed characteristics match the standard Max thanks to the identical Tri-Force Face implementation. The draw bias doesn’t compromise speed or distance; rather, it redirects shots back towards the fairway, eliminating the distance loss associated with severe slices into rough or hazards.
Specifications
Head Size: 460cc (identical to Max)
Standard Length: 45.75 inches
Loft Options: 9°, 10.5°, 12°
Standard Shaft Options: True Temper Denali Frost Silver 50g (R, S), 60g (S); Mitsubishi Chemical Vanquish 40g (R2); Mitsubishi Chemical Eldio 40g (Women’s)
Standard Grip: Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360; Women’s Lamkin ST Soft
Golfers with swing speeds of 85-105 mph seeking a draw bias
Players who’ve struggled with adjustable weight systems
Those wanting permanent draw assistance without adjustments
Mark Crossfield on Quantum Max D
“Then very similar to that, but with more weight towards the heel, we’ve got the Quantum Max D. So, a little bit more of a draw bias. Everything is very similar to what we’ve just seen in the Max in terms of looks. a little bit more kind of shaped in this part of the club, as they’ve kind of tried to push the weight into this part, but sits very nicely down by the ball. Looks really neat down by the ball.”
Fight Your Slice with Draw Bias Technology
The Callaway Quantum Max D combines maximum forgiveness with strategic heel weighting to promote draw bias and eliminate costly slice patterns.

#3: Callaway Quantum Driver Triple Diamond Version – Tour Performance Specialist
Loading widget...
The Callaway Quantum Driver Triple Diamond version is the range’s pure-performance option, engineered for accomplished ball strikers who demand low spin, workability, and a penetrating trajectory. Priced at £569, this compact 450cc driver features a full 360° carbon chassis and tour-validated shaping for golfers whose swing speeds and skills merit premium technology.
Tour-Validated Design Philosophy
Callaway developed the Triple Diamond specifically for tour professionals and elite amateurs, generating swing speeds exceeding 110 mph. At these speeds, excessive spin creates ballooning trajectories that lose significant distance, particularly into headwinds. The Triple Diamond’s shallower, more forward CG positioning reduces spin by 300-500 RPM compared to the Max models, translating to 10-20 additional yards of carry for fast swingers.
The compact 450cc head size creates the traditional tour profile better players prefer, appearing smaller and more workable at address. This psychological advantage proves valuable for accomplished golfers who find oversized drivers intimidating or difficult to shape intentionally.
Key Technologies & Features
360° Carbon Chassis
Callaway’s lightest, strongest chassis construction yet employs carbon fibre wrapping completely around the clubhead from crown through sole. This full-carbon construction saves substantial weight compared to traditional titanium bodies, enabling strategic mass placement for optimised CG and increased forgiveness despite its compact size. The woven sole design adds visual appeal whilst maintaining structural integrity.
APW Neutral & Fade Settings
The 10g Adjustable Perimeter Weighting system offers neutral and fade configurations rather than Max’s neutral and draw options. This fade-ready weighting suits players who prefer working the ball left-to-right or who need spin-reduction assistance. Tour professionals particularly value fade bias for controlling trajectory into greens.
Deeper Face Profile
The Triple Diamond features a deeper face than Max models, producing lower spin and a penetrating ball flight that better players demand. The deeper face also provides improved workability, allowing accomplished golfers to shape shots intentionally through swing path and face angle manipulation.
Performance Characteristics
The Quantum Triple Diamond delivers significantly lower spin than Max models while maintaining the Tri-Force Face’s ball-speed benefits. Launch angle trends lower, creating the penetrating trajectory tour players prefer. Workability rates are exceptionally high, responding predictably to intentional swing-path and face-angle variations to shape shots around obstacles or into specific landing zones.
Sound characteristics differ noticeably from those of Max models due to the full-carbon construction. The Triple Diamond produces a slightly muted, more refined acoustic profile some golfers describe as “tour-like” whilst others find less satisfying than the Max’s crisper sound. Feel remains responsive despite the carbon construction, providing clear feedback on strike quality.
Specifications
Head Size: 450cc (compact tour profile)
Standard Length: 45.75 inches
Loft Options: 8°, 9°, 10.5°
Standard Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 60g (S, X flexes)
Standard Grip: Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360
Weight System: 10g APW (neutral & fade settings)

Mark Crossfield on Quantum Triple Diamond
“Then we’ve got the triple diamond. This one’s been around for a while… We see carbon at the bottom and at the top. Slightly smaller-looking head. This is the low-spinning version of the bombing. Remember, it’s got that AI triforce face as well. Looks great down by the ball. It’s not for everyone. This club possibly need a certain amount of speed. It will be less user-friendly than the others. Also presents a little bit deeper by the ball as well. Being quite popular with high-speed players, makes a slightly duller sound compared to the Max and the Max D.”

#4: Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond Max Driver – The Game-Changing Bridge
Loading widget...
The Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond Max represents entirely new territory in driver design, bridging the gap between maximum performance and playable forgiveness in ways no previous Callaway driver achieved. Priced at £569 and featuring a full 460cc head with 360° carbon construction, this model targets the substantial population of golfers wanting Triple Diamond performance without sacrificing the confidence and consistency larger heads provide.
The Innovation That Changes Everything
Historically, golfers faced a binary choice: maximum forgiveness with potentially excessive spin (460cc game-improvement models) or tour performance with minimal forgiveness (450cc compact models). The Triple Diamond Max eliminates this compromise through sophisticated engineering, combining the Triple Diamond’s low-spin CG positioning with the Max’s full 460cc size and rear-weighted mass properties.
Mark Crossfield identifies this as the model generating exceptional interest: “This is the newest one that didn’t exist before for Quantum or any of Callaway’s range… So it’s been wedged between them. It has elements of max and the triple diamond. So it’s going to be slightly lower spinning, but it’s still going to have some stability with weight push back similar to the Max.”
Tour professionals have enthusiastically embraced the Triple Diamond Max, with significant uptake among players seeking slightly more stability than the compact Triple Diamond provides, whilst maintaining the low-spin characteristics essential at tour swing speeds.
Key Technologies & Features
Full 460cc with Low-Spin Design
The Triple Diamond Max achieves what seemed impossible: maintaining the Triple Diamond’s shallow, forward CG for low spin whilst incorporating the Max’s full 460cc footprint. This engineering accomplishment required extensive AI modelling to identify optimal weight distribution patterns that don’t compromise either characteristic. The result suits better players generating high spin, who also benefit from enhanced forgiveness on occasional mishits.
360° Carbon Chassis with Rear Weighting
Like the Triple Diamond, the Max version employs full-carbon construction from crown to sole. However, the Triple Diamond Max incorporates an adjustable 10g rearward-mounted weight system, which substantially increases MOI compared to the standard Triple Diamond. This rear weight provides stability and forgiveness whilst the shallow CG maintains low-spin characteristics.
Tour-Validated with Added Forgiveness
The combination creates a driver that better players can confidently game, knowing occasional mishits won’t prove as costly as with the compact Triple Diamond, whilst maintaining the low-spin, penetrating trajectory essential for maximising distance at higher swing speeds. The slightly larger footprint also provides confidence at address for players transitioning from game improvement drivers.
Performance Characteristics
The Quantum Triple Diamond Max delivers spin rates approximately 200-300 RPM higher than the standard Triple Diamond but 400-600 RPM lower than the Max. This positions it perfectly for golfers with swing speeds of 105-115 mph who generate too much spin with standard drivers but don’t quite achieve the 110+ mph where the compact Triple Diamond excels.
Forgiveness substantially exceeds the Triple Diamond thanks to the full 460cc size and rear-weighted construction, whilst workability remains good though not matching the compact model’s responsiveness. Launch angle sits between the Max’s higher trajectory and the Triple Diamond’s penetrating flight, creating versatile performance across varying conditions.

OptiFit Hosel Adjustability Explained
All four Quantum models feature Callaway’s OptiFit hosel system, providing eight total configurations through independent loft and lie adjustment. Understanding this system helps maximise your driver’s performance through precise tuning.
How OptiFit Works
The OptiFit hosel employs two adjustment mechanisms operating independently:
Loft Adjustment: Four settings (S, N, D, U) modify loft by ±1° to ±2° depending on configuration
Lie Adjustment: Two settings (Draw or Neutral) modify lie angle by approximately 2°
Combining these creates eight configurations, enabling precise tuning of launch angle and shot shape without requiring multiple driver heads. This proves particularly valuable during custom-fitting sessions, where fitters can quickly identify optimal specifications.

What is the Tri-Force Face and how does it work?
The Tri-Force Face represents world-first driver face technology, combining three distinct materials:
Layer 1 (Ultra-Thin Titanium): The striking surface employs Callaway’s thinnest titanium face ever, maximising flex for enhanced ball speed. The ultra-thin construction is made possible by supporting layers that prevent structural failure.
Layer 2 (Poly Mesh): Strategic placement of poly mesh behind the titanium provides structural support whilst allowing controlled flex patterns. This mesh stores energy during impact milliseconds and releases it efficiently through ball separation.
Layer 3 (Carbon Fibre): The innermost carbon fibre backing provides lightweight strength and vibration dampening whilst allowing mass redistribution to perimeter locations for enhanced forgiveness.
Real-World Benefits: Independent testing confirms off-centre strikes lose 2-3 mph less ball speed compared to previous Callaway drivers. The high-ball-speed zone is approximately 15% larger, whilst spin variation across the face reduces by 200-300 RPM on mishits.
Is the Quantum Triple Diamond Max worth the extra £40 over the Max?
For golfers generating excessive spin, absolutely yes. For others, potentially not:
Worth the Premium If:
Your swing speed exceeds 105 mph consistently
You generate 2,800+ RPM of spin with standard drivers
You’re a better ball-striker (5-15 handicap)
You want tour-level performance with forgiveness insurance
The 360° carbon chassis appeals aesthetically
Standard Max Better If:
Your swing speed measures below 105 mph
You generate optimal or low spin naturally
You prioritise absolute maximum forgiveness
The £40 saving matters significantly
You prefer a wider loft selection (12° available in Max)
The Triple Diamond Max’s spin reduction translates to 8-12 additional yards for fast swingers generating excessive spin. However, golfers who don’t experience this issue won’t benefit from the lower-spin characteristics and may even lose distance.
Our trade-in programme can reduce the effective cost difference, whilst our 60-day returns guarantee allows risk-free testing to determine which model optimises your performance.
Do the Quantum drivers come with premium shafts?
Shaft quality varies by model:
Quantum Max & Max D (£529): Include True Temper Denali Frost Silver or Mitsubishi Chemical shafts as standard. These represent solid mid-range options suitable for most golfers but not premium tour-level shafts. Custom shaft upgrades available at additional cost.
Quantum Triple Diamond & Triple Diamond Max (£569): Includes Fujikura Ventus Black 60g shafts as standard. The Ventus Black represents genuinely premium tour-level shafting, partially justifying the £40 price premium over Max models. This shaft alone retails for £200+ separately.
Custom Fitting Recommended: Whilst standard shafts suit many golfers, custom fitting ensures optimal shaft weight, flex, and profile for your swing characteristics. The Golf Shop Online offers comprehensive custom-fitting services to identify your ideal specifications.
Can I adjust the weight on all Quantum models?
Three of four models feature adjustable weights, but with important differences:
Quantum Max: Features a 10g Adjustable Perimeter Weight (APW) system with neutral and draw settings. Weight repositioning requires a tool (supplied) and takes 2-3 minutes. Allows personalisation between straight and draw-biased setups.
Quantum Max D: Employs permanent internal heel weighting that cannot be adjusted. This fixed weighting provides consistent draw bias on every swing without requiring tools or adjustments. Better for golfers wanting reliable draw assistance rather than adjustability.
Quantum Triple Diamond: Features a 10g APW system with neutral and fade settings (rather than neutral/draw). Suits better players wanting fade-biased characteristics or a neutral setup for maximum workability.
Quantum Triple Diamond Max: Features a 10g APW system with neutral and fade settings, identical to standard Triple Diamond. The rear-positioned weight also enhances forgiveness compared to the compact Triple Diamond.
Important Note: Weight adjustment requires the supplied tool and isn’t intended for quick on-course changes. Most golfers settle on their preferred setting and leave it permanently.
How does the Quantum range compare to previous Callaway drivers?
The Quantum range represents a genuine advancement over previous Callaway drivers:
Key Improvements vs Paradym AI Smoke:
Face Technology: Tri-Force Face’s three-layer construction (titanium/poly mesh/carbon) represents world-first innovation vs Paradym’s two-piece face
Model Range: Four distinct models vs Paradym’s typical two-model approach provides better targeting
Triple Diamond Max: Entirely new category bridging performance/forgiveness that didn’t exist in Paradym lineup
AI Optimisation: Next-generation modelling accounts for multi-material interactions vs Paradym’s single-material optimisation
Sound & Feel: The carbon fibre backing produces a slightly more muted acoustic profile than Paradym’s crisper sound. Golfer preference varies, though tour professionals generally prefer the Quantum’s refined tone.
Pricing: Quantum pricing remains competitive with Paradym launch prices (£529-£569), providing a similar value proposition with technological advancement.

Revolutionary Tri-Force Face Technology Explained
The Callaway Quantum driver range-defining innovation centres on the Tri-Force Face, representing the first time ultra-thin, high-strength titanium, poly mesh, and carbon fibre have been combined in a fully integrated driver face system. Understanding this technology helps appreciate why Quantum drivers command premium pricing and deliver measurable performance advantages.
Callaway Quantum Driver – Side View
The Three-Layer Construction
Layer 1: Ultra-Thin, High-Strength Titanium
The striking surface employs Callaway’s thinnest titanium face ever produced, maximising flex at impact for enhanced ball speed. Traditional titanium faces a trade-off between thickness and durability, limiting how thin manufacturers can engineer it. Callaway’s breakthrough involves supporting layers that enable ultra-thin construction without compromising structural integrity.
Layer 2: Poly Mesh Integration
Behind the titanium striking surface is a poly mesh layer that provides structural support whilst allowing controlled flex patterns. This mesh acts as a spring system, storing energy during the milliseconds of ball contact and releasing it efficiently through impact. The poly mesh’s strategic placement allows the ultra-thin titanium to flex more aggressively without increasing the risk of failure.
Layer 3: Carbon Fibre Backing
The innermost layer employs carbon fibre for lightweight strength and vibration dampening. Carbon fibre’s exceptional strength-to-weight ratio allows Callaway to redistribute mass saved from the face to strategic perimeter locations, increasing MOI for enhanced forgiveness. The carbon fibre also improves sound and feel characteristics compared to all-titanium constructions.
Next Generation AI Optimisation
Previous Callaway drivers employed AI to optimise single-material faces. The Quantum range’s AI modelling accounts for how three distinct materials with different properties interact under dynamic impact loading. This represents exponentially more complex computational challenges, requiring advanced machine learning to map optimal thickness variations across the entire face.
The AI system analysed thousands of impact scenarios, accounting for real golfer swing patterns, strike locations, and ball flight preferences. Every microscopic region of the face was precisely tuned to optimise speed, spin, launch angle, and accuracy based on where golfers actually make contact, rather than theoretical perfect centre strikes.
Real-World Performance Benefits
Independent testing confirms the Tri-Force Face delivers measurable advantages:

Mark Crossfield’s Insight on Tri-Force Technology
“So, the shared technologies definitely come in the face. So, this is the Triforce three-piece face. The finished titanium. It’s got carbon and poly mesh behind it. It’s basically their most AI optimised face as well as their design high levels optimised face, this triforce face, which is going to basically work with all the clubs, they’re trying to sustain ball speed, keep ball speed constant when you’re hitting all across the face cuz we have a drop off in ball speeds. They’re trying to keep them up.”
#1: Callaway Quantum Max Driver – Maximum Forgiveness Champion
The Callaway Quantum Driver Max version is the most user-friendly option in the range, engineered for golfers who prioritise forgiveness, consistency, and confidence over absolute maximum performance. Priced at £529, this driver combines the revolutionary Tri-Force Face with the highest MOI in the Quantum lineup, creating a driver that helps golfers find more fairways whilst maintaining competitive distance.
Design Philosophy & Construction
Callaway engineered the Quantum Max with a singular focus: create the most forgiving driver possible whilst maintaining tour-level ball speeds. The full 460cc head size maximises moment of inertia, resisting twisting on off-centre strikes. A carbon crown reduces weight from the top of the clubhead and redistributes it to strategic perimeter locations for enhanced stability.
The adjustable 10g weight system positioned at the back of the sole allows personalisation between neutral and draw setups. This weight proves particularly valuable for golfers whose miss patterns vary with conditions or whose swings evolve through lessons. The grey accent around the crown’s perimeter creates visual contrast against the black carbon, aiding alignment at address.
Key Technologies & Features
APW Adjustable Weight System
The 10g Adjustable Perimeter Weighting system offers neutral and draw configurations. Moving the weight to the heel position promotes a draw bias for slice fighters or those wanting reliable right-to-left shape. The neutral setting provides straight flight for golfers with balanced swings. The refined, more compact weight design simplifies adjustment compared to previous Callaway systems.
OptiFit Hosel Adjustability
Eight configurations provide independent loft and lie adjustments, allowing precise tuning of launch angle and shot shape. This system proves particularly valuable during custom fitting, enabling fitters to dial in optimal specifications without multiple head changes. Adjustments range from higher trajectory to straighter ball flight to draw-biased setups.
Clean, Streamlined Shape
The confidence-inspiring profile sits beautifully at address with neutral CG positioning. The grey crown accent provides subtle contrast, aiding alignment without appearing busy or distracting. The streamlined shape appeals to a wide range of skill levels and avoids the overly bulky appearance that some high-MOI drivers exhibit.
Performance Characteristics
The Quantum Max delivers mid to low spin with fast ball speeds across the entire face. Neutral CG positioning delivers versatile performance, accommodating golfers with varying spin rates. Launch angle trends slightly higher than those of Triple Diamond models, benefiting golfers with moderate swing speeds who need trajectory assistance.
Forgiveness rates exceptionally high, with the Tri-Force Face maintaining ball speed even on toe and heel strikes. The high MOI construction resists gear effect, keeping off-centre strikes closer to the target line than lower MOI alternatives. Sound and feel provide satisfying feedback without harshness, thanks to the carbon fibre backing layer.

Who Should Buy the Quantum Max?
This driver excels for:
Mark Crossfield on Quantum Max
“Most forgiving would be the Quantum Max. This is the highest MOI club in the range. It has an adjustable 10 g weight at the back, which is movable for a little shot shaping and dialling in your strikes. It’s got the carbon crown. Also has a grey look around the outside… This will probably be the most user-friendly: the Max. It has a nice, large profile. Sits super great.”

#2: Callaway Quantum Driver Max D Version – Draw Bias Specialist
The Callaway Quantum Driver Max D version shares the Quantum Max’s forgiveness-first philosophy, whilst adding strategic heel weighting to promote draw bias. Priced identically at £529, this driver targets golfers fighting slices or those naturally fading the ball who want reliable right-to-left shape without sacrificing the Tri-Force Face’s performance benefits.
Draw Bias Engineering
Rather than simply repositioning weight, Callaway employed sophisticated internal heel weighting strategically placed to promote draw without creating hooks for golfers with neutral swings. This approach differs from external heel weights used by some competitors, maintaining a clean aesthetic whilst delivering functional draw assistance.
The heel weighting shifts the centre of gravity towards the heel section, naturally closing the face through impact for golfers whose swings leave the face open at contact. This is particularly effective for slice fighters whose ball starts right and curves further right, resulting in significant loss of distance and accuracy.
Key Technologies & Features
Internal Heel Weighting System
A strategically added internal weight in the heel section promotes a slight draw bias to reduce slice and enhance draw. Unlike adjustable systems requiring tools, this permanent weighting provides consistent draw assistance on every swing. The internal placement maintains the clean sole appearance golfers expect from premium drivers.
High MOI Construction
Despite the draw-biased weighting, the Max D maintains exceptionally high MOI for forgiveness on off-centre strikes. This proves critical because slice fighters often compound poor face angle with inconsistent contact. The combination of draw bias and forgiveness addresses both issues simultaneously.
Easy Launch Profile
The Max D features slightly higher launch characteristics compared to the standard Max, benefiting golfers whose slices often result from insufficient dynamic loft at impact. The higher launch, combined with draw bias, creates straighter, longer drives for players struggling with low, weak fades.
Performance Characteristics
The Quantum Max D delivers similar forgiveness to the standard Max while promoting a 5-10-yard draw bias for golfers with neutral swings. Slice fighters experience more dramatic correction, often seeing their typical 20-30 yard slice reduced to a manageable 5-10 yard fade or even straight flight.
Ball speed characteristics match the standard Max thanks to the identical Tri-Force Face implementation. The draw bias doesn’t compromise speed or distance; rather, it redirects shots back towards the fairway, eliminating the distance loss associated with severe slices into rough or hazards.

“Then very similar to that, but with more weight towards the heel, we’ve got the Quantum Max D. So, a little bit more of a draw bias. Everything is very similar to what we’ve just seen in the Max in terms of looks. a little bit more kind of shaped in this part of the club, as they’ve kind of tried to push the weight into this part, but sits very nicely down by the ball. Looks really neat down by the ball.”

#3: Callaway Quantum Driver Triple Diamond Version – Tour Performance Specialist
The Callaway Quantum Driver Triple Diamond version is the range’s pure-performance option, engineered for accomplished ball strikers who demand low spin, workability, and a penetrating trajectory. Priced at £569, this compact 450cc driver features a full 360° carbon chassis and tour-validated shaping for golfers whose swing speeds and skills merit premium technology.
Tour-Validated Design Philosophy
Callaway developed the Triple Diamond specifically for tour professionals and elite amateurs, generating swing speeds exceeding 110 mph. At these speeds, excessive spin creates ballooning trajectories that lose significant distance, particularly into headwinds. The Triple Diamond’s shallower, more forward CG positioning reduces spin by 300-500 RPM compared to the Max models, translating to 10-20 additional yards of carry for fast swingers.
The compact 450cc head size creates the traditional tour profile better players prefer, appearing smaller and more workable at address. This psychological advantage proves valuable for accomplished golfers who find oversized drivers intimidating or difficult to shape intentionally.
Key Technologies & Features
360° Carbon Chassis
Callaway’s lightest, strongest chassis construction yet employs carbon fibre wrapping completely around the clubhead from crown through sole. This full-carbon construction saves substantial weight compared to traditional titanium bodies, enabling strategic mass placement for optimised CG and increased forgiveness despite its compact size. The woven sole design adds visual appeal whilst maintaining structural integrity.
APW Neutral & Fade Settings
The 10g Adjustable Perimeter Weighting system offers neutral and fade configurations rather than Max’s neutral and draw options. This fade-ready weighting suits players who prefer working the ball left-to-right or who need spin-reduction assistance. Tour professionals particularly value fade bias for controlling trajectory into greens.
Deeper Face Profile
The Triple Diamond features a deeper face than Max models, producing lower spin and a penetrating ball flight that better players demand. The deeper face also provides improved workability, allowing accomplished golfers to shape shots intentionally through swing path and face angle manipulation.
Performance Characteristics
The Quantum Triple Diamond delivers significantly lower spin than Max models while maintaining the Tri-Force Face’s ball-speed benefits. Launch angle trends lower, creating the penetrating trajectory tour players prefer. Workability rates are exceptionally high, responding predictably to intentional swing-path and face-angle variations to shape shots around obstacles or into specific landing zones.
Sound characteristics differ noticeably from those of Max models due to the full-carbon construction. The Triple Diamond produces a slightly muted, more refined acoustic profile some golfers describe as “tour-like” whilst others find less satisfying than the Max’s crisper sound. Feel remains responsive despite the carbon construction, providing clear feedback on strike quality.

Remember, it’s got that AI triforce face as well. Looks great down by the ball. It’s not for everyone. This club possibly need a certain amount of speed. It will be less user-friendly than the others. Also presents a little bit deeper by the ball as well. Being quite popular with high-speed players, makes a slightly duller sound compared to the Max and the Max D.”

#4: Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond Max Driver – The Game-Changing Bridge
The Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond Max represents entirely new territory in driver design, bridging the gap between maximum performance and playable forgiveness in ways no previous Callaway driver achieved. Priced at £569 and featuring a full 460cc head with 360° carbon construction, this model targets the substantial population of golfers wanting Triple Diamond performance without sacrificing the confidence and consistency larger heads provide.
The Innovation That Changes Everything
Historically, golfers faced a binary choice: maximum forgiveness with potentially excessive spin (460cc game-improvement models) or tour performance with minimal forgiveness (450cc compact models). The Triple Diamond Max eliminates this compromise through sophisticated engineering, combining the Triple Diamond’s low-spin CG positioning with the Max’s full 460cc size and rear-weighted mass properties.
Mark Crossfield identifies this as the model generating exceptional interest: “This is the newest one that didn’t exist before for Quantum or any of Callaway’s range… So it’s been wedged between them. It has elements of max and the triple diamond. So it’s going to be slightly lower spinning, but it’s still going to have some stability with weight push back similar to the Max.”
Tour professionals have enthusiastically embraced the Triple Diamond Max, with significant uptake among players seeking slightly more stability than the compact Triple Diamond provides, whilst maintaining the low-spin characteristics essential at tour swing speeds.
Key Technologies & Features
Full 460cc with Low-Spin Design
The Triple Diamond Max achieves what seemed impossible: maintaining the Triple Diamond’s shallow, forward CG for low spin whilst incorporating the Max’s full 460cc footprint. This engineering accomplishment required extensive AI modelling to identify optimal weight distribution patterns that don’t compromise either characteristic. The result suits better players generating high spin, who also benefit from enhanced forgiveness on occasional mishits.
360° Carbon Chassis with Rear Weighting
Like the Triple Diamond, the Max version employs full-carbon construction from crown to sole. However, the Triple Diamond Max incorporates an adjustable 10g rearward-mounted weight system, which substantially increases MOI compared to the standard Triple Diamond. This rear weight provides stability and forgiveness whilst the shallow CG maintains low-spin characteristics.
Tour-Validated with Added Forgiveness
The combination creates a driver that better players can confidently game, knowing occasional mishits won’t prove as costly as with the compact Triple Diamond, whilst maintaining the low-spin, penetrating trajectory essential for maximising distance at higher swing speeds. The slightly larger footprint also provides confidence at address for players transitioning from game improvement drivers.
Performance Characteristics
The Quantum Triple Diamond Max delivers spin rates approximately 200-300 RPM higher than the standard Triple Diamond but 400-600 RPM lower than the Max. This positions it perfectly for golfers with swing speeds of 105-115 mph who generate too much spin with standard drivers but don’t quite achieve the 110+ mph where the compact Triple Diamond excels.
Forgiveness substantially exceeds the Triple Diamond thanks to the full 460cc size and rear-weighted construction, whilst workability remains good though not matching the compact model’s responsiveness. Launch angle sits between the Max’s higher trajectory and the Triple Diamond’s penetrating flight, creating versatile performance across varying conditions.

What is the Tri-Force Face and how does it work?
The Tri-Force Face represents world-first driver face technology, combining three distinct materials:
Layer 1 (Ultra-Thin Titanium): The striking surface employs Callaway’s thinnest titanium face ever, maximising flex for enhanced ball speed. The ultra-thin construction is made possible by supporting layers that prevent structural failure.
Layer 2 (Poly Mesh): Strategic placement of poly mesh behind the titanium provides structural support whilst allowing controlled flex patterns. This mesh stores energy during impact milliseconds and releases it efficiently through ball separation.
Layer 3 (Carbon Fibre): The innermost carbon fibre backing provides lightweight strength and vibration dampening whilst allowing mass redistribution to perimeter locations for enhanced forgiveness.
Real-World Benefits: Independent testing confirms off-centre strikes lose 2-3 mph less ball speed compared to previous Callaway drivers. The high-ball-speed zone is approximately 15% larger, whilst spin variation across the face reduces by 200-300 RPM on mishits.
Is the Quantum Triple Diamond Max worth the extra £40 over the Max?
For golfers generating excessive spin, absolutely yes. For others, potentially not:
Worth the Premium If:
Standard Max Better If:
The Triple Diamond Max’s spin reduction translates to 8-12 additional yards for fast swingers generating excessive spin. However, golfers who don’t experience this issue won’t benefit from the lower-spin characteristics and may even lose distance.
Our trade-in programme can reduce the effective cost difference, whilst our 60-day returns guarantee allows risk-free testing to determine which model optimises your performance.
Do the Quantum drivers come with premium shafts?
Shaft quality varies by model:
Quantum Max & Max D (£529): Include True Temper Denali Frost Silver or Mitsubishi Chemical shafts as standard. These represent solid mid-range options suitable for most golfers but not premium tour-level shafts. Custom shaft upgrades available at additional cost.
Quantum Triple Diamond & Triple Diamond Max (£569): Includes Fujikura Ventus Black 60g shafts as standard. The Ventus Black represents genuinely premium tour-level shafting, partially justifying the £40 price premium over Max models. This shaft alone retails for £200+ separately.
Custom Fitting Recommended: Whilst standard shafts suit many golfers, custom fitting ensures optimal shaft weight, flex, and profile for your swing characteristics. The Golf Shop Online offers comprehensive custom-fitting services to identify your ideal specifications.
Can I adjust the weight on all Quantum models?
Three of four models feature adjustable weights, but with important differences:
Quantum Max: Features a 10g Adjustable Perimeter Weight (APW) system with neutral and draw settings. Weight repositioning requires a tool (supplied) and takes 2-3 minutes. Allows personalisation between straight and draw-biased setups.
Quantum Max D: Employs permanent internal heel weighting that cannot be adjusted. This fixed weighting provides consistent draw bias on every swing without requiring tools or adjustments. Better for golfers wanting reliable draw assistance rather than adjustability.
Quantum Triple Diamond: Features a 10g APW system with neutral and fade settings (rather than neutral/draw). Suits better players wanting fade-biased characteristics or a neutral setup for maximum workability.
Quantum Triple Diamond Max: Features a 10g APW system with neutral and fade settings, identical to standard Triple Diamond. The rear-positioned weight also enhances forgiveness compared to the compact Triple Diamond.
Important Note: Weight adjustment requires the supplied tool and isn’t intended for quick on-course changes. Most golfers settle on their preferred setting and leave it permanently.
How does the Quantum range compare to previous Callaway drivers?
The Quantum range represents a genuine advancement over previous Callaway drivers:
Key Improvements vs Paradym AI Smoke:
Sound & Feel: The carbon fibre backing produces a slightly more muted acoustic profile than Paradym’s crisper sound. Golfer preference varies, though tour professionals generally prefer the Quantum’s refined tone.
Pricing: Quantum pricing remains competitive with Paradym launch prices (£529-£569), providing a similar value proposition with technological advancement.

Final Verdict: Which Quantum Driver Wins?
Callaway’s Quantum driver range represents genuine technological advancement through the revolutionary Tri-Force Face, whilst providing exceptional choice through four distinct models targeting every skill level and swing characteristic. Rather than creating a single “best” driver, Callaway engineered four purpose-built options excelling in different scenarios.
Model Recommendations by Priority
Technology Assessment
The Tri-Force Face represents a genuine breakthrough rather than an incremental improvement. Independent testing validates Callaway’s claims about maintaining ball speed on off-centre strikes and expanding sweet-spot dimensions. The three-layer construction combining titanium, poly mesh, and carbon fibre delivers measurable performance advantages over previous-generation drivers.
The 360° carbon chassis used in Triple Diamond models delivers the lightest, strongest construction Callaway has produced, enabling strategic mass placement that is not possible with traditional titanium bodies. This technology proves particularly effective in the Triple Diamond Max, enabling the low-spin/high-forgiveness combination that defines this model’s revolutionary positioning.
The Bottom Line
The Callaway Quantum driver range delivers on its performance promises through genuine innovation validated by tour professional adoption and independent testing. The four-model lineup ensures exceptional targeting, eliminating the compromise golfers previously faced between forgiveness and performance.
For mid-to-high handicappers (12-28), the Quantum Max or Max D at £529 represent compelling value, providing revolutionary face technology with maximum forgiveness. The £40 premium for Triple Diamond models is worthwhile only for golfers whose swing speeds and spin profiles benefit from their low-spin characteristics.
The Quantum Triple Diamond Max represents the range’s most significant innovation, bridging performance and forgiveness in ways no previous driver achieved. For better players who generate excessive spin and value forgiveness insurance, this model justifies its £569 premium through unique positioning unavailable elsewhere.
Our trade-in programme reduces the effective cost across all models, whilst our 60-day Play Better Promise removes all purchase risk. Combined with authorised retailer status, competitive pricing, fast delivery, and expert support from PGA professional Mark Crossfield’s team, purchasing a Callaway Quantum driver from The Golf Shop Online ensures confidence from order through first tee.
