Summary: Amazing how easy this club is for me to hit well. Over the past 2 years my search for the perfect Driver, 3w, & 5w has taken me thru every major brand, has cost me several thousand dollars & I've spent many, many hours on e-bay buying and selling golf clubs.
Well, I think that my search is over. For less than $50 I purchased a used but like new Callaway Hawk eye VFT with the System 60 regular flex shaft. I hit this club really well, have done so from the first ball that I struck on the driving range. The weight and balance are so well engineered that my orthodox swing just performs well. My shots are more predictable with the VFT than any other club I've tried.
Now maybe some of those big headed, souped-up newer Drivers I briefly owned gave me more distance, but at the cost of occasional slices, shanks, and other mis-hits that I could not predict standing at ball address.
So I maybe lost 5 yards compared to the Nike Sumo SQ that I used all last year. But with the VFT I can hit 80% of my 245 yard drives within 20 feet of my intended target. I Never could do that with the Nike or any other brand Driver. With the VFT for the 1st time in my life I've been able to dial up a draw or hook from the tee box.
I like this club so much that I searched e-bay for the matching 3 wood, 5 wood and 7 wood. Was successful in acquiring all those clubs at an average price of $40 each. I love golf & I love a bargain. It's nice to combine those 2 passions and come out a winner!
Customer Service: Have used the Callaway Certified used club sales + service in the past. Very nice guys at the shop. Helpful, sincere, smart.
Similar Products Used: In the past 6 months I've bought and sold over 10 drivers and 5 iron sets. My second favorite of all those golf clubs was the Cleveland Tour action irons and Hi-bore woods.
I hit the Callaway VFT woods and X-12 irons MUCH better than the Clevelands.

Summary: I love this club! I would've been described as a hacker at best off the tee box before I got this club. This club offers amazing feel and performance for being an older club. Working for a sport shop, I have been able to demo many of the hot new clubs and I still wouldn't trade my VFT for any of them. I would sell this club to anybody who is not looking for the giant headed clubs today's market offers. The best part is this club can be bought cheap!!! $40 or less is the current going rate... one great buy!

Summary: This is a great club.With a smooth swing and good contact, the ball FLIES!!! Even on mis-hits you get distance with plenty of forgiveness. The face is huge which helps to cut down on tailing it off. The only bad thing about it is that I bought a shaft too stiff for my swing speed. It's a great club, definitely one that should be in your bag.
Customer Service: No Need

Summary: I've had nothing but trouble with this driver. Perhaps the regular shaft flex is causing my problems but I've owned Callaway drivers before and never had problems. When I hit the ball it travels about thirty or forty yards before it hits the ground. It really seems like the ball just can't stay airborne. It's been frustrating to hit a smooth swing and see a good amount of energy into the ball and watch it hit the ground before the ladies tees.
