hehe, funny how i came across your message to me. i was almost going to sign off, but looked for "new posts" and saw this...

anyway, there is a difference between the 2, that is for sure. the Mizunos face is hotter than the FT-i. im getting about 10, sometimes 15 more yards out of the Mizuno too. but im having a harder time keeping the ball in the fairway. ive been hooking the ball a little more lately, and i think its because the face is 1º closed compared to my FT-i which was neutral. im actually on my way out the door right now to work on that at the range. also, the Mizuno launches the ball a tad higher than the FT-i as well, but then again, my FT-i was a 9º, and my MX-700 is a 10.5º. as soon as i can start controlling it a little better, im sure it will be money. i just need to work on keeping it in the fairway a little more. but all-in-all, its a great driver. it has a hot face, and it is long. are you thinking about getting one?

I've been shopping around for a new driver. I love my mizuno irons and hybrid, so I started looking into their woods as well. One of my finalists is the Fti, it felt good when I demoed one.

The clubs I have narrowed it down to are:
Callaway Ft-i
Cleveland HiBore XLS Draw
Cobra Speed LD line
Nike Sumo2
If I demo one and like it alot, I may drop the extra money on the new Mx 700

Any other input from you or anyone else is greatly appreciated. Thanks

well, i just got back from the range and i pretty much worked it out. the mx-700 is DEFINITELY longer than the FT-i. the FT_i is just a tad more forgiving and easier to keep straight. another driver i REALLY like is the Callaway Diablo. that thing is awesome. and actually, i would've picked that over the MX-700, but i got a deal on the MX-700 that i couldnt refuse (free). i would've had to pay for the Diablo. i mean, they are all good drivers, and it all just depends on what YOU like, but for me, i like the Diablo the best, then the MX-700... good luck
