I am looking to upgrade my driver from the X460 to either the FT-5 or the Superquad, I plan on demoing both of these clubs but was looking to get a little input on if either of them have or have not worked. What are some of the ups and downs of the clubs. I have always used Callaway clubs and have never been disappointed but my buddy has a Superquad and it caught my eye. Thanks for any input!

My vote is for the ft-5. i love the way it looks and my buddy hits it a mile. I play the ft-5 3 wood and love it. I also had the superquad and the head was too light for me. I had a bad tendency to hook the hell out of it.

hope that helps

Both good drivers IMO. I personally hit the FT-5 farther. I have a G2 and hit the SuperQuad about the same. The FT-5 a good 5-10 yards farther. Could have been set up of the club though. Shaft etc. Cant comment on forgivness of them.

I have both. I only purchased the Super quad to help me reduce/eliminate my slice after demoing several drivers on the range and then playing the SQ on 18 holes. I think the shaft on my X460 was just a little to soft for my taste but otherwise it was a fine driver. When I did hit the X460 straight it was just about the same length as the SQ.

I would say demo anything before you purchase it, your X460 might be just as good as a newer one.

It depends on what your looking for:

The Superquad has a lot more playability, which usually will have the upper hand when it comes to more skilled players. Now, you listed your handicap as a 17, so you shoot in the low 90's and high 80's. If your looking at it from a future standpoint I would recommend the Taylor made, as it will benefit you more down the road.

The Ft-5 has a lot of distance, if you want to show off, this club is for you. Not much to say about it except that it has a lot of distance.

    • Attempting to lift. Any better?  
    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
