I was scared at first after reading all the reviews here on the VFT, but I had really good results with the ERC 2 so I decided to try the VFT. I have to say that the feeling was the same but the ERC was better because it was more solid and distances were farther. The VFT might be about 20 yards closer than the ERC but don't forget, its a conforming driver. I think you hookers out there don't like this because the toed in face. This helps slicers and not drawers. The ERC and VFT straightened out my fades and slices. Yes, you have to hit it on the spot to get it going, because it says, VFT, which means that the sweet spot is thicker than the rim. I personally like this club more than the TISI, TM 360, and the 975D which have all had good reviews. At the end of the day, it all depends on your swing. The TISI and TM 320,360 look wide, big, and ugly and that already gives me a bad feeling before I swing. The 975D looks good (prettiest), but had too many unpredictable mood swings because she was harder to handle. You really have to try before you buy, but even then the first few hot dates could be misleading!

Customer Service

Callaway are very good when it comes to customer service.

Tried the club demo VFT yesterday. I am an 8 handicap and I average 225 off the tee with maybe a 240 in there every now and then. This club was no longer than my GBB with a Prolite regular shaft. My GBB is 8 degrees and I have a tendency to hit a high draw (occasionally turns into Captain hook). This club had a lower trajectory; I did not hook the ball, instead tended to pull it. It seemed like a pretty forgiving driver, but not worth the $395 to replace my GBB.

One note, I am 42 years old, have played golf since I was 10. I play approx. 130 rounds a year and have probably only played with 5 people in my life who hit the ball 300 yards. I guess down here at sea level the ball just doesn't travel like everywhere else. I sometimes want to go on a fishing website to see if the same people who are posting about their 300 plus yard drives are also posting about the 45 lb bass they caught.

I purchased a VFT this weekend and am so glad that I did not read a review before doing so. I generally hit a draw / hook and would not of even considered it had I read anything about it. Well I am happy to say that this is the BEST DRIVER I have ever hit. You must be conscience of the hook face and keep a good tempo, but I am able to hit a fade or a draw. It is by far the longest club I have hit to date, and I love the shaft (tour stiff). So, don't be scared by these bad reviews, unless you want to write off the best driver on the market

I have been puting of purchasing the 320 untill I had demoed the new hawkeye.
I am a fan of Callaway clubs and have used a gbb for three years with graet results and was therefore looking forward to trying out their latest offering.
First impression was wow what a great looking driver, nice deep face and more traditional headshape.
So out to the bays I went to try it out.
I have to admit I really wanted to like this driver, but could just not get it to work for me.
The flight pattern was inconsistant, anything not hit in the centre died rapidly (very unusual for the normally very forgiving callaways),the clubface is slightly closed sending balls left untill a compensation is made, and nowhere near the length of my ggb.
I am going to go back tommorow and try the 10 degree before I commit to the tm320, but on first impression they were a major dissapointment.

Customer Service

very good

I really don't know why people doesn't like this driver??? I found that this driver give me "Motivation"... Very easy to hit and go very far.. And also, I tried my friend 's Talyor 320... I found the outlook is really bad, but easy to hit. And also the ball can't go far...

Although i use callaway 3&5 woods i didnt like this driver at all. It was not any were near as forgiving as my driver i am using at the moment, and on good hits it wasnt as long.
Anything either side of a centre hit just didnt get any were. I am really gutted i didnt get on better with this club as i was so looking forward to trying it. Reading the reviews below it is a very mixed bag of reviews which isnt all that good for a new product ?.
the driver i use at the moment is a Taylor Made 320 and i dont think there is anything out there at the moment that can touch this club

I hit this driver as well as any driver I have ever hit. This driver has a great feel and I have a tendency to hit it from right to left. The length is at least 15 yards longer than any driver I have hit. I would recommend this driver to any one, has great feel and control if you want to go long go with the VFT.

Model Reviewed: VFT 10 with firm shaft

This is a great driver. I don't understand why anybody would have a problem with it. Must be ERC backlash. I hit it long and straight. When I say long, I am pumping them out there about 270 on average. I had the Taylor 360 and it would go almost as deep but it went left too much. Tried the 320 but it wasn't as long as the VFT, felt pretty good though, I would definitely choose that second to the VFT. I think it's up to the user and the results they get. Some clubs fit people and some don't. VFT is high quality. Worth every dollar.

Customer Service

Top notch. A big company that knows how to treat their customers right.

I traded my Firesole driver for the VFT with another golfer. Plus paid $150.00. Liked the sound of the Firesole, but loved the way the VFT worked for me. Sometimes it's on, and sometimes not. But I can hit the fairway more often than the firesole. Go figure! Distance is about the same if it's a straight shot. I just happen to hit the VFT straight more often than the Firesole. If it wasn't for Callaway's excellent service, plus the fact that I have all Callaway in the bag,....would I do it again....maybe not but then again...maybe yes. It does hit far and straight, but you have to get use to the club.

Customer Service

Just call customer service anywhere else. Maybe you might get a human response. Probably not!... Call Callaway and you get a human being and you get quick resolution of your question. Best customer service in the world. Go ahead, call TM or Titleist and hang on the phone with a robot for a very long time.
