Summary: I have been using a Taylor Made R7 Draw for about 1 year but now that I have corrected my shank, I needed a new driver. My local dealer talked me into trying the FT-3, it was a great price I really couldn't say no. After hitting about 300 balls with it, I found my shots are straighter and longer, I loose a little feel when I make contact with the ball but I'm gaining distance about 280+. The club feels great and has a big sweet spot. I'm very happy, I was looking at spending more money but now I don't haft to.

Summary: I bought this club second-hand and took it to the driving range and was hitting dead straight and a good 150 metres and then out on the course it kept going right. But it is a very good club none-the-less. I find that the extra loft of 11 degrees has helped me get the ball in the air where as with my old driver the ball would always go low or along the ground.

Summary: You gott'a love Rock Bootm Golf.Com... They had a E-bay run of this driver for a few weeks (Sept 2009). They listed 3 or 4 dozen simultaneously. Starting bids were all 99 cents. I got mine (LH 9.5 degree face, stiff Aldila 60 gram shaft) for $38... (Brand New Club).
My normal & still current driver is a USA made Callaway VFT. The Ft-3 has family resemblence to the VFT but it is a different club. I hit the FT-3 more accurately & consistently than the VFT. I can work the ball better with the Ft-3. I have lost a few yards distance compared to the VFT. I do not like the feel of the FT-3 at ball contact as much as the VFT. The VFT is a smoother feeling club and more satisfying when crushing a drive. Ball contact sound is a more professional sounding Whack! instead of the Chinese sounding Clink! of the FT-3. BTW, this club is Chinese made.
Aftr taking the VFT out of my bag for a month in favor of the FT-3 I hit them both today at the range. Confirmed - I lose distance (just a few yards) with the FT-3. But I can go too wild with the VFT because it is so easy to swing that I over do it and hooks appear.
I think for the sake of my score the FT-3 stays in the bag.
Customer Service: Rock Bottom Golf purchase. Best prices, good communication, fast shipment, good customer service.
Similar Products Used: Ludicrous! I've bought and sold over a dozen sets of irons and more than 25 drivers this past year. Currently play Callway Driver & Woods, Ping i3+ irons.
Just bought a set of Top Flight USA made muclebacks 3-pw for $49. Have hit them only one day on the range. See my review for those.

Summary: I bought this club factory refurbished at a huge fraction of the MSRP. I have improved my driving to a consistant 175 yards or so compared to about 150 with my old no name special. (my first year out so it can only improve from here lol.) I can't justify purchasing this club at the MSRP unless you are an avid golfer but if you can find a nice used one i say snatch it up!

Summary: Let me tell you how great this driver is. Immediatley after i bought this driver, I could feel the draw weighting. With my old dunlop driver, i could never hit it straight and was averaging 200 off the tee. However, after hitting a bag of balls on the range with this driver, im averaging 230 consistenately. Great club!!!!
