Callaway FT-i Driver Review

It's Hip to Be Square!

The FT-i came from two designs actually, along with a totally new concept. The old Callaway C4 driver, a composite driver featured a metal skirting around the perimeter which helped drastically on off center hits. While this driver was extremely accurate, it lacked hitting power due to the softer face material. Callaway has long been known for its long hitting Titanium drivers and the consumer wanted both designers in one! Introduce the Fusion Series beginning with the original ERC Fusion to the FT-I, Callaways high performance drivers have incorporated Fusion Technology.

The FT-i features a larger head than the original Fusion and the FT-5. Oh, did I forget to mention that it is also square! This will raise the MOI and lower the center of gravity for straighter, higher launching shots! The advances in technology have allowed the designers at Callaway to "fuse" an entire face area of a Titanium driver to the body similar to the C4. This makes for not only a very forgiving driver, but one that goes long as well! The technology frees almost 50 grams of weight to be distributed to the perimeter to create a high launch low spin driver designed for todays golf balls. Callaway has also incorporated a new feature where this weight is put in the center of the club, to the toe or to the heel. This will created a fade or draw biased head that will be more prone to opening or closing at impact to help reduce or create a different ball flight for the player.
