I have the FT-5 9.5° and I'm in love with it. I feel very comfortable with it, and the shaft is great. I haven't tried the others options but I really recomend the FT-5.

Regards.

Just got my FT-5 today.......only got a chance to hit about 10 balls but looking very forward to playing on Saturday with it. It's replacing an R7 Superquad TP that I have been using for the last month or so which I like a lot too. Was not thrilled with the stock shaft so I put in an Epic which I liked a lot more and gained a little more control and a few yards. Personally so far I prefer the setup of the FT-5 and feels a little more controllable through the swing and at impact for me.

So Far:

R7 SuperQuad (stock shaft) 8.5/10
R7 SuperQuad (EPIC shaft) 9/10
FT-5 (stock shaft) 9.5/10

Which ever way you go ENJOY!

I tried the ft-5 at a demo day and i didnt like it, i also tried the nike sq sumo i couldnt stand it. i used to have the r7 but it had the wrong shaft for me, i really like it but i sold it and ended up getting a burner. i had hit the ft-5,ft-i,sq sumo, titleist 907, superquad, burner, x 460, and big bertha 460. i liked some of them but overall i thought the burner felt the best and gave me the most distance/accuracy. i also really liked the light head weighting.
R7-8.5/10
FT-5-6/10

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
