Golf Club Review - Callaway FT-i Driver

I have to admit I heard this club before I saw it. The sound is far from the sweet ting that we are all used to hearing, it is with the Callaway FT-i Driver more of a Thwack. Very similar to that of the Nike SQ that we looked at a few weeks ago but this probably more of a thwak than that one.
So I watched before I tried this one, the guy who was using the FT-i and the more confident he became on the range the harder he was hitting the ball. The faster the head speed the more off line his drives were. This was over 3 weeks ago, today I managed to get to a demo day for Callaway (lots of goodies) and was able to give the FT-i 25th Anniversary Limited Addition for a test drive myself.
The second thing you notice (if you haven’t heard the sound of someone hitting it first) is the club head which is square, as with the Nike SQ it is to improve the accuracy, my personal opinion is that these square head clubs are ugly! Yes you heard me UGLY! I mean they look like they fell out of the Ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. However the club has other qualities that make it a little more special than its looks and sound!
The club is as light as a feather and I have to say the action of the club was in itself an easy to swing club with a fair amount of movement in the shaft. The club face is massive in fact it is the largest on every tour and only just in the boundries of the rules but it is also very forgiving. HOWEVER I have to say that for those with a faster swing, getting a head speed of around 105 and up will find that this club has a little bit too much drag to be completely effective.

So thats a quick review of the Callaway FT-i Driver again a nice driver but if you have a quick head speed you may find that it has a little too much drag.
