I bought this new at Dick's Sporting Goods. It was sitting in a rack with a bunch of other full FT-5 clubs.



However I don't think the Javln shaft was a standard shaft for the FT-5. When I tried to register it that shaft wasn't listed on the Callaway site. And it seems like the piece where the shaft connects to the head is shaped like the i-mix wrench.

It woudl be sweet if I accidentally bought i-mix. I am not getting my hopes up but when I look at ft-5 i-mix heads, they don't appear to actually say "I-Mix" anywhere on the head. Mine doesn't, and I haven't found a pic of one online that does.

thanks in advance, and I apologize for the quality of the photo. Blackberry needs to upgrade their camera offerings.

Driver - FT-5 10°
Hybrids - 4DX 15.5°, 20°
Irons/Wedges - CI-7 4-GW, SW | "Free" Warrior 60° LWPutter - TiffanyBalls - various

After doing a bit more searching around it looks like this might actually be "optifit", the fitting system Callaway ditched for i-mix. I have no options other than FT-5 and Hyper X. Can anyone confirm?

The regular FT-i and FT5 still have the same look of the hosel. It's probably not an I-Mix. If it's an i-Mix it probably should have the "i-Mix" logo on the head, and the head I think should have a different color.

That is not an I-Mix. I-Mix has an aluminum sleeve at the end of the shaft that's threaded. For a few good pics, look here .

Does it have a bolt in the bottom of the head under the shaft? If so, it's optifit, otherwise it's just a normal, glued together, FT-5.

ETA: The head is also stamped I-Mix out on the toe. Best pics that I could find of this are here and here (FT-i, FT-5 is marked exactly the same).
