I believe Ernie Els switched back and forth from FT-5 to FT-i.....was playing it at the Scottish open but not sure if he used it at the Open Championship....

Retief also uses Burner driver...

He had the FT-i going at the Open Championship. Saw it on the slow-mo swing thing one day on the weekend. X-Mo on ABC, I think... Swing Vision is CBS.

I don't like any of them really, but the FT-i's noise is incredible so it gets my vote.

I haven't lost any distance and I am hitting a lot more fairways and greens since I switched to the FT-i. Plus I think it looks cooler than the other square heads.

There isn't an option for the F-Speed, and btw, I love the noise.

Aren't all of the new drivers odd looking?

I think all of these are pretty good performance wise. Personally I don't like them... I'd say it's probably the FT-i or perhaps the HiBore but I wouldn't put either in my bag.

FT-i hands down when you are standing over the ball. It has the most appealing look of any of the MOI machines on the market, although you will lose considerable distance with it. Performance wise, the Hi-Bore XL blows the other "odd looking" drivers out of the water if you put the right shaft in it. Great club combo'd with the Diamana Whiteboard.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
