I made an educated buy because I couldnt test the ft-5 first. At 100.00 its not that much of a gamble. Most people recommended the burners, I could only check out the 09 burner and wasnt impressed. I dont like the g15 that much so I didnt go for the g10 plus I couldnt find one that easy. Ive always liked callaways drivers, my current driver is the great big bertha so I looked at the ft-9 driver. I thought it was a decent driver after hitting. I read around alot of read that the ft-5 is liked more than the ft-9. I went and looked at the golf digest hot list around 2008 and the ft-5 was the top gold one and picked as editors choice out of them all. hmmm cant be that bad.

I didn't like the G15 either.

really. Have you ever hit the ft-5?

No, sorry, but I've heard it's a keeper.

When the time comes, I'll probably replace my G10 with another just like it - if I can find one.

well the guy questioning my buy got me thinking of trying the g10 so I went to my local driving range that had a g10 and also a f-5, lol luckily. So I got to hit them side by side. I was surprised, I loved the f-5 and hit it better than the g10. Only thing that's a little weird is the sound, got used to it though and for real I couldn't put the f-5 down. I think the f-5 was a tour model though cause it was 9.5 degrees. Before this I was thinking of canceling my order if I liked the g10. Glad I got to hit the f-5 as well. It's a keeper, very accurate

i had called first though and asked if they had a f-5 too and they said they only had the g10. so I was looking around before going out to the range with the g10 and a f-5 headcover caught my eye. take off the headcover and bam theres a f-5, cant find them anywhere around here to try out. They had it priced at 420.00 but they had all the old models priced really high as well. Like the g10 they had at like 260.

I may have to check out used F5s when it's time - the only thing I don't like about the PING is the sound.

When I was comparing them the shaft of the g10 is a little longer, like an inch. Yea the sound of the F-5 is different, it will catch you by surprise at first, but it delivers. Its almost sounds like a professional baseball player hitting a basebal with a wood bat. I didnt notice the sound of the PING very much, had a high pitch titanium sound.

The stock shafts on the G10s were unimpressive...

I probably have low standards. So do guys like Hunter Mahan I suppose.

its all opinion. Some people think the standard shaft and the g10 is a great match.

Said the guy playing TM Burners and PING raptures - LOL.

the raptures were cheap, availaible and easy to hit. =D before them i was playing traduitonal forged lynx master model blades. and i could hit them. but required sme real consistency. however, if i could put better and improve my sand saves , i would be a single digit capper. the only thing i cant seem to do is hit low shots with my short irons.

Burners are forgiving and workable. =D

y not? the shape put u off?

I actully play a 07 Burner TP (aswell as my nike) and I just don;t think it;s that good of driver, the older r7 is much better imo.
