Powerful and Versatile
Eric Chow Handicap : 14 Location : Posts :	Posted : Fri 7th Aug 2009 04:29 First off, despite it's similarities with the Tour model, this club is quite friendly towards higher handicap players. The ball comes off the face very hot when well struck and fairly lazy when mishit but still goes a long way. The distance penalty is fairly low thanks to the very high MOI. The Fujikura Z-Com shaft could be better but overall works well with this club head. The use of multi-materials is exemplary . This is a very well made driver. The center of gravity is a bit low on the non-Tour model but it doesn't cause the ball to balloon. Best of all, this driver begs to be worked in all directions. Trajectory control isn't its strength but is good enough to satisfy the mid to low handicapper. As others have already mentioned, the only real draw back to Callaway FT-9 Driver is the price. If a Diamana Blue Board or Matrix X-Con was offered as a stock offering (they are available but only as custom orders and increase the price by at least $50 and can exceed $250) , the price would be perfect. Overall, this is a spectacular club but you may want to wait till the price drops a bit or the shaft upgrades are cheaper.
