I hit a Callaway FT-I today

Certainly odd to look at, but once you are past that, what a beast.

Far easier to hit than my 905R is - it was a stiff flex 'speeder' shaft and felt like it had more flex than the YS6 stiff in my 905. 9 deg also had a higher trajectory than my 905 with 9.5 loft.

All in, I think the 905 is the wrong club for me!

What's the FT-5 like?

Why don't you like the 905R? Are you going to sell it?

Did you find the FT-I to be more forgiving than your 905R? I am looking at a new driver this season and am seriously considering the FT-I or FT-5, or maybe even the Titleist 907D2. Any thoughts?

the FT-I was a neutral bias. And seemed very nice to hit - actually felt like I connected with the ball where with the 905 it just bounces off it. After hitting good irons round the course today, and the score let down by erratic driving, a few hits with the Callaway were like a dream.

I find the 905 with the square face and my not so perfect swing leaves a lot of drives going right. Try to fix it, and I get a duck hook as I am over-compensating. Dammit.

905R is highly likely to be sold in the coming months, and the replacement will depend on available funds. Something set up for a draw would be ideal - poss a Callaway or a TM R7

When I hit the FT-I it felt as if it was almost a helping driver. Although it didnt go as far as I usually hit, It still went far with little effort put into the swing. And was very easy to hit straight.

The FT-I is certainly more forgiving than the Titleist 905 driver. There are many forgiving drivers made today by Cobra, Cleveland, Callaway, Nickent, even Titleist ( 907D1 ). The FT-I is one of the easiest to hit drivers on the market.

FT-I very straight and long. I almost hit it as far as my SupperQuad.
