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.

    • Day 21 - 2026-01-10 More mirror work focused on hip. 
    • I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.  
    • Day 150 1-10 focus on arching the wrist and getting the ball to go left. Recorded, hit foam balls. 
    • Day 467 - 2026-01-10 Practiced at Pinehurst every day I was there, and before Junior Elite this morning I got fifteen minutes of backswing checks in the mirror in.
