FT-5
I demoed nearly a dozen drivers, including all the new Callaway drivers. The FT-5 was easily the most consistent. I hit the Taylormade R-9 just as far on average, however the FT-5 was the most accurate and I averaged 290 yards. Great buy! |

callaway ft-5 tour
Callaway ft-5 tour, aldila proto vs 60s 10.5 degree. This club is a bomber! I've always liked callaway drivers, but was a little skeptical of the "fusion" drivers. I couldn't have been more wrong. The sound is a little bit of a turn off as its hard to distinguish a good shot from a bad. In reality, do you really need anything more than sight to notice performance? One really needs to be more than a hacker = me, to fully appreciate this club. What I mean is that this club is forgiving, long, and workable. If you don't have a consistent shot shape, this club can eat your lunch on a bad day. In other words, I don't need the tour model. Customer Service Thankfully never had to use.

Callaway FT-5 Tour
I purchased a new FT-5 Tour with Fujikura E360 Stiff shaft on eBay for about $120 in March 2009. The driver is fantastic! It has the characteristics of workability, control, and decent distance. My average drives are 270-275 with good drives being easily clearing 310-320. Launch trajectory is mid-low with low spin and good carry. Miss hits produce little side spin and still gets good distance. This in part can be attributed to the E360's mid/high flex point and 3.8 torque that produces stability on impact, feel and manageable control. The impact sound is high pitched and loud, which are common characteristics of Callaway and 460cc drivers. Overall, this is high quality driver for the mid-low handicapper with 95-105mph swing speeds, that desires consistency and decent distance. Swing speeds lower than this range I recommend the regular FT-5 with Fujikura E150. Swing speeds faster than this I recommend Taylor Made R9's or Titleist 909's for hotter, thick wall face construction on the driver's head for enhanced distance.

FT-5 Tour 9.5 Neutral
I'm a 3.4 Hcp - tested a couple used drivers and settled on the FT-5 Tour with a ProV2 S shaft. This thing is fantastic - I didn't see the huge jump in distance that some folks are reporting (some of these guys must be taking steroids as well), but much more importantly: This driver puts the ball in the fairway. It is very workable right-left and vice versa. Trajectory is spot on, and it is incredibly true to direction.

Callaway FT-5 9.5* Tour I-Mix - Grafalloy Platinum 65 gm Stiff
I have been playing the Callaway FT-5 I-mix now for 6 months and thought i would give you a review based on facts. The Driver is very solid and as long as you swing a golf club well you should have no problems with the club. I opted for a Grafalloy shaft as they tend to be more solid and the head and shaft tend to swing as one (if that makes sense) it gives you total confidence that if your aiming to take out the left side of the fairway you can just point and go. I have lessons every week at the Butch Harmon School and my teacher there works with me on moving the ball with the driver left to right and right to left hitting low and high shots. This driver is very workable and both me and my pro like it. The ball jumps of the face and is definitely long, i wouldn't say it was life changing but does inspire confidence, which is all you can ask for on the tee. I would recommend the I-Mix version for people like me who like to try different shaft combo's (i tried the UST V2 S, Aldila NVS R, Matrix Ozik X-Con 6) The Platinum is king for me. I hope this helps someone and if you want to get the head and shafts cheap rockbottomgolf.com is cheaper than Ebay!!

FT-5 Tour 9.5- Fuji E360 Stiff
Been playing the Hibore XL Tour (V2 stiff) for the last year and a half. For most of that time, the H-XL was awesome. About 3 months ago, I totally lost my driver swing. I'm constantly working on improving my swing and what I really think happened is my swing evolved until it no longer fit that head/shaft combo. So, about a month ago, I decided to try something new. After a lot of research, I settled on the FT5tour with stock e360 stiff shaft. Very happy with this combo. THe ball really does shoot off the face. I totally dig the step up and look of the head as compared to the H-xl. I'm really happy with this combo. I have a 102-103 mph swing speed and have a quick transition. Ive read a lot of negative comments about the e360 shaft but...after playing a lot of current shafts, I really like it. This driver can be had at some great bargains on ebay. That's where I got mine for 195.00 delivered. Never been hit. Customer Service I've used Callaway c/s before and it was excellent.
