Callaway FT-5 or FT-i Driver for $149.99
I found Callaway FT-5 and Callaway FT-i Men’s Driver
drivers at Golf Galaxy
for $149.99 each.
The FT-5 was the Editor’s Choice and Golf Medal winner from Gold Digest’s 2007 and 2008:
Key Technology: The trademark carbon-composite body is stretched longer to push the CG farther back and improve stability. The lightweight frame is designed to allow 50 grams to be redistributed internally around the rear perimeter, and the titanium cup-face is wider and taller than before.
Panelist Comments: “Very forgiving and even ball flight across the face . . . Not classic, but there’s a symmetry that makes it easy to look at . . . Sound is better, but the way the ball was flying I could get past almost anything.”
Judges’ Verdict: Callaway might have the last laugh for its preoccupation with carbon-composite technology because its latest generation is its best. The lightweight shell allows Callaway designers to put weight exactly where they want it, and the new shape optimizes that potential. But it’s the OptiFit System, which features a fitting cart of interchangeable heads and dozens of shafts, that maximizes the value of its technology.
