Description The Callaway Golf® FT-i and FT-i Tour Drivers represent a quantum leap in driver design. To exploit our proprietary Fusion® Technology — the superior weight-shifting science developed by Callaway Golf...
Summary: A nice big piece of junk with alot of hype and marketing, The sound everybody talks about is a dead thud. It slices just like every other driver.off center hit feel like every other driver,very over priced for junk. WARNING... The tennis manufacturers are making junk racquet too.,because they know we are a sucker born every minute. it's ashame we americans are stooping so low in every respect. The next thing is plastic shafts which the mfg. will market as high tech polymers, another good word for plastic. and of course there can't be new technology because the usga say's the "cor" limit is .830 where do you go from here?
Customer Service: never dealt with cs
Similar Products Used: the old big bertha was decent.

Summary: I was able to play 3 rounds with a borrowed FTi set to draw. The club was very forgiving and I was so impressed I ordered one. I found that the club hits the ball higher than other clubs so I would recommend trying a lower loft club.
Now for the not so good news------ After about 6 or 7 rounds the head cracked along the heel of the club. And,Just hitting the club, and it's tin-can sound, make one wonder if this club will survive the test of time. It is also very over priced so you may want to develop a wait and see approach. I did not gain any distance with this club, in fact, it was shorter that my old Wilson driver.
It may not be for everyone but it is a fun club to hit so try one it may be the club for you. Just don't pay to much for one -- it may not last.

Shoots in the 80s
Model Reviewed: Callaway FTi Driver 10 deg
Summary: For the last 3 year I have always pulled out my trusty 3 iron and hit it up the middle of most fairways as I have always struggled to hit drivers accurately. I tried alot of different brands ( borrowing most of my friends drivers for a test run ) but still struggled for consistency. About 3 months ago I went to the Callaway performance center and tried the FT5 and FTi as well as all the irons, X20 & tours, BB & FT's Didn't like any of the irons, the FT5 was good but not perfect, then enter this square ugly looking thing and I couldn't believe how accurate I was with good distance ( 220 - 230 meters / 105mph club head speed ) on the computer with low side spin. Still not fully convinced I went to a local golf shop and tried it on there computer and it was showing very similar results so I bought it. The next day I went and played a round with my mates and they couldn't believe I was using a driver and hitting it so straight. I was loosing a bit of distance compared to my mates ( using a Callaway Tour 56 ball ) but then tried a Pro V1x and instantly found 15 meters. I have also tried the Tour i but I get the best results with a Pro V1x and I am yet to try a Pro V1. That day I only missed 1 fairway and that was only by 2 meters. Since then I have played about 10 rounds of golf and rarely miss a fairway with an average distance of about 220. This club has completely changed my game as it is making it alot easier for me to make green in regulation and I have seen my handicap come down by 8 shots.
I know this club will not work for everyone as I have had 4 of my friends use it, 2 of them hit accurately and 2 of them don't, but for me it is amazing, the confidence I have on the tee is something I thought I would never experience with a driver.
Two things that I am sure you will not like. The sound even out of the middle of the club is at best ordinary, ( ( but the feel is still good ) and the price is insane. No matter how good the club is, to charge $650 australian dollars for a driver should be illegal!!!
I have also been able to work the ball around which has surprised me as I was told that you can't. Drawing or Fading has not been a problem for me ( I should mention my setting on the driver is the neutral & regular flex shaft ) just enough to keep it on the fairway.
What makes no sense to me is why PM has so much trouble driving on the tour when he could use an FTi?
Customer Service: The performance center was ok, not worth the money I had a free voucher, found it hard to get feedback out of the pro during testing.
Summary: I bought this driver for 350 dollers from callawaypreomwned.com, very disspointing, may work well for other but not for me, it didnt go no where near as far as my old Nike Sasquatch tour, the sound is very off putting, and the square design isint that amazing, dont believe the hype, and my nike is back in the bag

Summary: On my 1. round with my new driver it made a sound from inside the head as if something was loose.
And on hole 16 half the head flew of... Fortunately nobody was hit as it flew into a group of trees.
When I tried it, before ordering it, Í hit it very well.
