Callaway FT-5 Tour Drivers

Callaway FT-5 Tour Drivers 

DESCRIPTION

The new FT-5 and FT-5 Tour Drivers are the latest evolution in clubhead design utilizing our revolutionary Fusion® Technology. A massive 50 grams of discretionary weight has been created using a Carbon Fiber Body — creating the OptiFit™ Weighting System that produces three center of gravity configurations: Draw, Neutral and Fade, enabling golfers to choose a combination to best suit their individual game. The larger, more robust CT/VFT Titanium cup face is designed to the legal limit, as defined by the USGA Characteristic Time test, resulting in increased ball speed, distance and forgiveness — even on miss-hits. The FT-5 Tour Driver has a slightly open face for a look preferred by more accomplished players. The end result is exceptional distance, performance, accuracy and confidence.

Fusion Technology
Proprietary Fusion Technology creates an unprecedented 50 grams of discretionary weight which is strategically positioned for a high Moment of Inertia and precise lateral location of the center of gravity. This provides exceptional stability on off-center hits, while enabling ball flight customization for optimal individual performance. The 25-gram weight located at the rear of the driver lowers the CG for optimal trajectory.

OptiFit Weighting System
Enables golfers to customize their driver by giving them three CG locations to choose from in most lofts: Draw for promoting a draw or reducing a slice/fade; Neutral for maximum workability; or Fade for promoting a fade or reducing a hook/draw.

CT/VFT Titanium Cup Face
Modified version of VFT® Technology in which face thicknesses are designed specifically to maximize performance under the new USGA Characteristic Time test, resulting in a larger, more robust face for increased ball speed on shots hit all over the face.

460cc head design
A 460cc head volume is incorporated with a longer, wider and hotter face for more confidence at address, a higher MOI and increased ball speed for longer, straighter drives.

Carbon Composite Body
The material used to make the body is significantly lighter than titanium, allowing Callaway Golf engineers to move 50 grams of discretionary weight where it is needed most, resulting in better stability and distance.

Forget changing the screws and the fancy wrench. Great marketing gimmick, but little real world or real golfer application. If you are a tour player go ahead and take offense. I just sold my Taylor Made R7 quad 425 TP to pay for my Callaway. NO REGRETS at all. The Callaway is more consistent, longer and a better feeling driver. $250 cheaper too. $449 is stiff for a driver but the USGA isn't going to lift the 460cc limit or the COR anytime soon (EVER)so I won't need another one for a while.

Its like a turbocharged FT-3 Tour. Better feel, better distance, better sound. If you loved the FT-3, you will love this driver. If you hated the FT-3, you will love this driver. It is the best driver to come out in 2007. It may be a bit more expensive than the other drivers on the market right now. But when you hit it you will know where the extra money went.

Customer Service

Callaway has always been top notch.
