Callaway X2 Hot Driver Adjustment Instructions
That screw came loose once on my RazrFitXtreme. I tightened it and haven't had any problems with it since. I was playing in a tournament with a guy who had the same thing happen to his Xhot Driver. Right after he teed off on the 18th tee is when he noticed it was loose. We tightened it up and he hasn't had any issues since.
You commenting on it makes the third time and third different Callaway driver I have heard of to experience it. I wonder if these things need to go through something similar to what happens when you put new aluminum wheels on a car (have to retighten once after a few miles of driving). Anyway, if you got it tight and heard the click, you should be good to go. I still check mine periodically but it hasn't come loose again.
The hosel consists of two cogs - an upper cog and a lower cog - that rotate independently to provide a total of 8 possible loft and lie combinations. Callaway are replacing their extremely popular X2 Hot franchise with the new XR line. Headlining the new releases are the XR driver and fairway woods, which are designed to help you generate as much clubhead speed as possible.

That screw is the same bit on both my Callys and TM drivers, and I have used the oem torque drivers interchangably, but they are soft metal and wear out and slip where the screw is harder metal. I use a harder bit that is not on a torque slip drive now, to prevent damage to the screw, and I tighten them firmly and have not had issues. Tricky we are talking INCH POUNDS, not foot pounds. The screw size for hozle adjusting threaded into aluminum should be somewhere near 50 in/# or so. I'd have to measure the screw and check with the chart in the Machinists Handbook to be sure.
Foot pounds is for screws much larger threading into steel. Just click it with the tool and you should be OK. If you are continually loosening up replace the adapter and screw. They can wear out if continually adjusting. Also a tiny drop of BLUE Locktite can help.
And make it a very small drop. Use a toothpick to make the drop. I'm a mechanic by trade with an engineering degree. Don't ask how I ended up here, a long story. But the tool should get you there.

Mark Shuman Good point. So divide 12 inches into 50 inches and get 4.17 ft/lbs. Seems kinda light. Maybe because I run my torques higher I dont have a problem. It also explains why I have had so many TM and Cally OEM tool bits fail, as no designer would use a decent alloy on such a low torque value.

I swear I had a girl that could generate that force with her tongue. Both have backspin, neither has topspin (or else you'd see a ball that dove into the dirt shortly after you hit it). The reason a draw usually rolls out more is because a lot of people hit them with a closed clubface, which reduces the loft of the club and also reduces the amount of spin, meaning it'll roll out more. I usually hit a push-draw with a clubface open to my target, meaning I'm adding loft to the club compared to if it was square. This shot will stop sooner than if I were to hit a pull fade or a perfectly straight shot, because it's hit with more loft on the clubface and as such has more spin. It should be noted that my clubs are Heavily toe/ fade biased and my shots feel like I am hitting a draw but the actually ball flight is very much straight and high.
