Played 18 yesterday with a friend who had just picked up his FT-i. I used it during the day and found it to be a very nice club. It was a 10* stiff shaft, and the first thing you notice is that the head is about the size of a 425 Taylormade....a LOT smaller than the head on my SUMO2.

I got a feeling people are going to like the FT-i.

Trust me, everyone will benefit from the Sumo^2.

You commented on how small the FT-i was at adress, you are completely 100% correct. If you are making a revolutionary driver design, don't try to make it look normal when in the long run you are taking away from performance. I don't care if people think the Sumo^2 looks like , my driver that looks like will be outdriving your "normal" driver.

Why would you want the look of a small driver at adress? I can honestly say I hated the club when I hit it. At the same time, my friends liked the FT-i better than the Sumo^2. The ideal shape of a driver is what you make it, don't be influenced by the rejects who take one look at it and say it sucks.

I love the fact that you can swing hard and not worry about the ball straying to far from where you aimed, perfect for the big hitter in me!

I haven't seen anyone with the new Sumos or FT-i yet, but I did see someone at my range with a black square driver that was definitely not Callaway or Nike, I was guessing it might have been a Pinemeadow Bloc or one of the other square clones.

I checked out the FT-i and the Sumo at Golf Galaxy. I liked the appearance of the FT-i much better. The Sumo makes a very loud "bang" when you hit it which I didn't like.
I hit both of them into one of those virtual screens and liked the Callaway better.
I'm sticking with my R7 460 - I love it!

      How to Remove Verdigris From Black Burner 2.0 Irons....

      By Archie Bunker ·

      You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.

      Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By Elmer ·

      I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
