Just bought on eBay a Callaway FT-5 Tour Fusion (Fade) Stiff Fujikura Vista Pro 70
for 60 bucks and I'm excited and can't wait to hit it.
Switching from my X460 to get a stiffer shaft (haha very funny)
but it was cheaper than buying just a shaft and having mine reshafted

Anyone else play this? What are your thoughts on it? How's it play?

Who would bother copying an FT-5 now? Didn't it come out in 2005?

In the blue Colts bag:

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

I'm starting to see FT-5s go for $60-70 in the area, so that price shouldn't raise a red flag. I had an FT-5, very solid driver with lower spin and nice mid trajectory.

Haven't found a Callaway driver I've liked yet...just my personal opinion. I've tried several and I've tried really hard to like them, but in the end I just don't hit them as well as I hit others. Recently got rid of my FT-5 iMix and got a TaylorMade Burner SuperFast and I LOVE it!!
In My Bag ( Superlight 3.5):

Driver: 9.5* Burner SuperFast, Matrix Ozik XCon 4.8 Stiff
Fairway Woods: Steelhead III, Uniflex Steel (3w, 5w)
Hybrids: Big Bertha Heavenwood 4H, Uniflex SteelIrons: Victory Red Full Cavity, Stiff (5-AW)Wedges: WALTER HAGEN,...

I had an FT-5 and could never get used to it. Its very loud and the trajectory wasnt for me.

That is my goal and if it feels anything like my x460, then it's a win win for me.

It is used, but in nice shape and the FT-5 has been on the market for some time. So I'm figuring that cost is about avg.

I bought an FT5 with Aldila DVS shaft for $47 from a guy on another site. GREAT driver. 3 people out of my regular foursome use the FT5. Great distance, forgiving and medium trajectory. It actually kicked the TM burner and Cobra LD out of my bag. I'll be using this driver for a long long time.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
