I owe all of you gents a thank-you. The used FT-i arrived from Callaway Pre-owned last week and I was finally able to get to the range and air it out last evening. The first thing that popped into my mind was that line from Woody Harrelson's bowling movie "Kingpin": "Sweeter than YooHoo...". Nothing went right unintentionally as the Hyper X had been doing but instead straight or slight draw. Looked like decent distance but was not able to compare hard numbers yet as the range is poorly marked. I did find that by purposely slashing at the ball it would fade or slice so there is some workability there if I ever get good enough to control it.

glad to hear it is working well so far... keep us posted about distance comparisons.

My Clubs: Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5° w/ Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 stiff; Sonartec GS Tour 14° w/ Graphite Design Red Ice 70 stiff; Adams Idea Pro 2h(18°) & 3h(20°) w/ Aldila VS Proto 80 stiff; Adams Idea Pro Forged 4-PW w/ TT Black Gold stiff; Cleveland CG12 DSG RTG 52°-10° & 58°-10°; Odyssey...

I've had the FT-i since middle last year, when they had that 100 dollar gas gift card promo (remember when gas was 4.25).
The ft-i is a great driver. My distance is about 210 yards, but I have hit it 250ish recently.

That being said, however I do follow the Tom Wishon idea of higher loft, so I got the 13 degree head. It works, since I now don't loose as many balls as before. MAter of fact, I've played one ball for 4 rounds.

The FT-IQ looks good, but I don't like that it only has a draw bias. When they come out with one in neutral, I'll def pick one up.

Yeah, a lot of pressure. Rise above it. Harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness energy, block bad.
Feel the flow, Happy. It's circular. It's Like a carousel. You get on the horse. It goes up, down and around. Circular. Circle. With the music,the flow. All good things.I...

The standard FT-iQ is 1* closed(draw) while the tour version is .5* open(neutral).

    • Day 33 (13 Dec 25) - Worked on weight shift and resetting the left heel during downswing (after listening to a discussion on Golf School this morning on PGA Tour Radio).  It centered on how Jack Nicklaus lifted his lead heel and how long driver champs do as well.  Taking cues from that discussion, worked an exaggerated feel of the left heel working doing some swing drill in the backyard using the 7i.  Wrapped up the session by hitting a few low bump and run shots in the backyard - keeping the process slow and exaggerated.  
    • Day 123 12-13 Rotation and getting to lead side work. Recorded face on. Hit a few foam balls but did plenty of rehearsals today.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
