Description Fusion Technology that delivers professional shot-shaping and Tour distance, for a fine-tuned game.
This is the driver the shot makers turn to. Versatility, distance and control all in one space-age package. The FT-9 Driver was designed to deliver the most creative shot-making you can think of. Fade it. Draw it. Or take it over the trees. With the addition of Hyperbolic Face Technology, ball speeds across the entire face have been dramatically improved to generate even more distance. Choose between Draw or Neutral configurations with the help of external web weighting that helps precisely position the center of gravity to promote the desired trajectory and ball flight for the desired shot shape. The FT-9 Tour Driver features a slightly open face angle and produces stronger, more penetrating trajectories preferred by highly accomplished players.

Model Reviewed: Callaway FT 9 tour driver 8.5* with PRO65 shaft
Summary: Advantages : very low spin rate below 2600. Perfect lanch angle. Maximum distance for swingspeed. reasonably forgiving. Disadvantages: not that easy to work right to left .. probably a good thing as my bad shot is a hook with a driver.

Summary: Traditional look. Forgiving on off-center hits, but it definitely has a sweet spot. When hit flush, it has a different tone and the ball comes off the face very hot.

Summary: I bought this club off Callaway Preowned. Like new, and only miss hit 1 drive when I went out yesterday for the first time with it. Hit Longer and straighter than I ever have. It is the first decent Driver I have owned and I freakin love it.
Customer Service: Callaway Preowned were awesome. I ordered on Monday and it got to Perth Australia in 4 days from the states.
Summary: Sold the FT-3 on e-bay for what I paid at the beginning of the season. Was looking for more distance. Fooled around with the Ping Rapture - Couldn't hit it straight. Bought & kept the TM R-7 for 2 weeks, that was a disaster for me. Got the Callaway FT-9 last week. Have only smacked a few buckets at the range Verdict: Longer than the FT-3. Straighter that the Ping or Taylormade. Has a nice solid sound at ball impact. Looks good at address, lines up easy. Now let's see if I can actually play well with it!
Customer Service: Another E-bay purchase. Cheap, fast, faceless.
Similar Products Used: You name it, I've bought and sold it. Fickle is my middle name.

Summary: Played a full round with my new FT-9 yesterday. First drive of the day, no warm up, exactly where I aimed it and the longest drive of the day. Just goes to show a smooth swing produces the best results. This driver is terrific and I love the idea that I can interchange the shaft if I feel like a change or find a better shaft. Love the shape, the feel and the sound. Feel very confident over the ball. Just got to sort out the swing now and I know I'll be hitting good drives more consistently with this great club.
Customer Service: Good customer service to date.
Similar Products Used: EVERYTHING! Srixon (great), Titleist, Taylormade (overated), Nike, PING (awesome), Cobra etc etc etc.
