I'd like anyone who plays or has played the FT-IQ to share their opinion of the driver. I've got an FT-IQ tour on hold and am thinking it over. I will either reshaft my burner or switch to the FT-IQ.

What's your opinion of the ft-iq compared to other drivers you've hit/played? Either way, I'm looking for a new driver setup.

I picked up the FTIQ tour in October and hit it for a month or two before the season closed out. I wanted the FTIQ for two reasons: lower trajectory and more forgiving. It gives me both!

It has a penetrating, mid height trajectory ball flight. I really like the shaft! (the Fubuki 63 shaft) And...I'm told due to the square head, I find it incrediably forgiving. I've read reviews that stated "I can't not hit the ball straight!" Welll...I'm not sure I find it that forgiving. But, it's the most forgiving driver I've ever hit in my life.

I'm told the tour version has a .5* degree open face, but....when you look down, there's no way. In fact, I'd even say it has a 1-2* closed face. I've A-B'd the tour vs non tour versions side by side and I can't see a difference looking down at them.

I've been hitting the Callaway X series driver the past two seasons. And...earlier this year I picked up the FT-5, just to try. I think the FTIQ is superior to these two models, no question.

I was apprehensive about the square face at first, but after two range sessions, I had forgotten what a "traditional" 460 head looked like. I don't think you'd regret the purchase. Good luck!

I love my FTiQ! I am a new golfer who was looking for a max-forgiving driver, and I got it. Don't get me wrong, the ball can go left and right, but the sweet spot is huge, and you really got to do something wrong to get a ball in the woods. Some talk about composite clubs sounding bad, but I dig the pop you get from the FTiQ when well struck.

I have an FT-IQ and think it is an excellent club. The square head puts more weight at heel and toe than a pear shaped head, and as such will help off center hit to go straight. As a matter of fact, I have hit a few shots off center that feel not so great, but the ball goes straight and my playing partners say "nice drive". But I know i didn't catch it flush.

I am looking at a new driver as I want to be able to work the ball left or right off the tee, and due to this club wanting to go straight, doesn't give me the workability I would like. It is a 9* stiff with the great Fubuki shaft. I got it over the summer and is in fantastic condition. Let me know if you are interested in it. I take VERY good care of my clubs.

    • Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

    • I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
