Well...I bought myself one of these, played with it for a couple of weeks and them the head cracked. Went overseas (with the replacement the shop gve me)...took it to a driving range for a few week...BANG....cracked again. Maybe the carbon mix is not ideal for big hitters, but the club does have a good feel. Shame |

Long story short, the head cracked on me after 2.5 weeks. When I took it back to Edwin Watts, they were extremely accomodating. I ended up getting a full refund, bought a brand new closeout Tour Edge Bazooka Geomax for $50 and I am hitting the ball better than the Callaway. I never did get the feel with the FT-5 that I have with my current driver nor the feel I had with the FT-i. Customer Service Edwin Watts was fantastic. When they say Callaway has great customer service, I believe them without having to personally contact them.

I have been playing golf on a serious level for about a year now. While I now personally believe that iron play is more important than driving, I still have a love for hitting the ball really far and straight down the fairway.

Let me just start this review by saying I have never been a Callaway Guy .. I went to my local Pro and he had a few hours to kill so we pulled 4 Drivers to test. All big name company's and all made claims that they were super long easy to hit ect... you know the drill. After a good warm up we tested all the models and I was very very surprised that the Callaway FT-5 was by a good margin the best in all areas. A few words that could used to describe this driver , Cannon , Long Easy did I mention Long. My current Driver is a Taylormade 9.5 Stiff TP-460 (very good) driver NOTE: The Callaway driver was 10-12-Yards longer every time. And we both concurred after this test that we would now pull the drivers were using and replace them with the Winner Of our Test the Callaway FT-5.

callaway ft-5 9*
This club is amazing. today is the first day i played with it. all i can say is straight, straight and straight. added 20-30 yards to my drive. my previous driver was an old cobra 427 10.5*. my only regret is not buying this club earlier. It has made the game more enjoyable, i hit every fairway today, beat the everyone in my group. took their money which covered green fees and then some. can't wait to play again.
Customer Service not used. Similar Products Used: cobra 427, r7 quad, r7 draw, precept driver. |

Bought this at Golf show for $250...demo club...9 degree with stock fujikura 150 stiff shaft...much nicer driver than my old ERC fusion! I cranked a couple 300yd drives during my first round Saturday! I still duck hooked it a couple times but my fault...Hit a very nice high fade with it too though so its still workable...I intentionally hit fades and draws with it was well to see what I could do...I also hit it stright just fine too!! hit the same model on a monitor and was consistently swinging 110mph and hitting it 290+ so definitely a good driver for me! |

Not the club for me, I love Callaway clubs and was looking forward to ripping my new Callaway, FT-5 (stiff shaft) but oh dear what a disappointment!, not long ,too loud and no feel, I’ve gone to superquad and hitting it miles, so much more easier to hit...Keep trying Callaway. but not with the FT-5 Customer Service As always Callaway provide a good service |

I too am amazed at anything negative I read about this club. I will agree that the sound is differente but after awhile you even get used to that. I was fitted and tried every club out there including the new Ping G10. No comparing the two drivers. The FT-5 is better, just make sure you get fitted. I fought the results for about 2 months concerning this club because of the price and the sound. Yet everytime I went to the launch monitor and was fitted the results always came back to the Ft-5. Got one, put a 6W06 Rombax shaft in it and have never looked back. Getting fitted is key with any club if you are a serious player. Customer Service Never had to use it, but all the feedback I've heard is very positive as was with ping products.
