From G5 to FT3?

[CG031]

I am seriously considering this. I love my G5, But I don't hit it that great anymore. I used to 8 months ago when I first got it, cuz I needed the 13.5 degree loft. Now, I really don't. It's hurting me now. It's hurting me in the aspect I'm losing 20-30 yards of roll because the ball does so damn high. I could just a get a preowned, good condition, FT3 with 11 degree loft.

it was 300 dollars and ive only had it 8 months so i dont wanna give up on it completely..but if i could trade it in for like 130 dollars..then buy a callaway FT3 11 degree for 200 (used and its now last years model)...i would only be spending like 70 bucks, and then if u dont like the new preowned club u purchased, u can give it back in 10 days and get 90 percent money back..

So, what do ya'll think I should do here?

I think your right 13.5 degrees is WAY too high for a driver. I'm just about to order the Titleist 905r 9.5 degree. I've been planning to do this just been saving up (I'm 15) and I just need about $50 more dollars cause its only $200. Yesterday I was reading Golf Magazine and they did a driver test and the 905r beat the Hibore XL, the Tour Edge Exotics Proto, and the Callaway Fusion Ft-5 all 2007 models beaten by the 905r from last year. It's only $200 and has a high level of launch off the tee. This is what I'm getting and I recommend you get it too, 10.5 degrees.

I couldn't get a 10 degree off the ground well at all, so that's the whole reason why I went to a 13.5 degree. But right now, I still believe it's too much loft.

Where are you in NJ?

I suggest you either demo the clubs and/or get on a launch monitor. My swing is pretty inconsistent so a launch monitor doesn't help me much since I can't see the ball flight and make adjustments.

I found a place that allows me to demo clubs (essentially borrow them for a day or two) and over the last year I demoed 5 drivers or so and found one that I liked best and rewarded them with a purchase.

I'm Northwest NJ. Near PA actually.

I am not going to go to the FT3. I <3 my ****ing driver. I just hit it GREAT today. Can't believe I even thought aobut switching. I shot a 42, and hit 5/6 fairways with it. (9 holes only)...
