I was given a Callaway FTi.
It has a serial no engraved on the club head.
However, it also has a circular dot on the side of the club facing me at the address position. I could not see such dot on the club in Callaway's website.
What can I do to find out whether mine is a genuine club?

I would call callaway personally and ask them, im sure they get at least one of these calls a day (at least), go to your local golf store and make some comparisons there as well. I think Callaway will be able to help you though.

Yeah... are you talking about the dot referring to it being neutral or draw bias? You said it has a serial # right? I imagine you could check that out. Or take it to a local pro if you're worried about it. I suspect you'll be alright. Also, who gave you the driver? Couldn't you ask them where they got it? If they bought it new from a respectable retailer then you're aiiiight (which I think you are anyways).

I am not talking about the neutral or draw bias though.

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
