Callaway's Square FT-i

[mrbillinoc]

Played 18 yesterday with a friend who had just picked up his FT-i. I used it during the day and found it to be a very nice club. It was a 10* stiff shaft, and the first thing you notice is that the head is about the size of a 425 Taylormade....a LOT smaller than the head on my SUMO2.

I got a feeling people are going to like the FT-i.

anyone else try this driver? debating g5 vs the ft-5 or fti?

Trust me, everyone will benefit from the Sumo^2.

You commented on how small the FT-i was at adress, you are completely 100% correct. If you are making a revolutionary driver design, don't try to make it look normal when in the long run you are taking away from performance. I don't care if people think the Sumo^2 looks like , my driver that looks like will be outdriving your "normal" driver.

Why would you want the look of a small driver at adress? I can honestly say I hated the club when I hit it. At the same time, my friends liked the FT-i better than the Sumo^2. The ideal shape of a driver is what you make it, don't be influenced by the rejects who take one look at it and say it sucks.

I love the fact that you can swing hard and not worry about the ball straying to far from where you aimed, perfect for the big hitter in me!

I haven't seen anyone with the new Sumos or FT-i yet, but I did see someone at my range with a black square driver that was definitely not Callaway or Nike, I was guessing it might have been a Pinemeadow Bloc or one of the other square clones.

I checked out the FT-i and the Sumo at Golf Galaxy. I liked the appearance of the FT-i much better. The Sumo makes a very loud "bang" when you hit it which I didn't like.
I hit both of them into one of those virtual screens and liked the Callaway better.
I'm sticking with my R7 460 - I love it!
