The golf world is about more merciless than the fashion industry in terms of how fast things move, how fast things fall out of style, and how fast technology and advances progress.
Take this FT-5 driver. In 2008 it cost twice as much as what it costs today on Amazon. Today in 2009 the top priced spot being taken over by Callaway's newest driver the FT-9. What does this mean for you? Well that if you can wait a year, you can wind up with a fantastic driver for half price.
I've been hitting the FT-5 for over a year now and I can report that its a wonderful driver. Golf though is a complex sport....do I still slice? Yes. Do I still hook it sometimes? Yes. That's more a matter of my skill limitations than of the club itself which is just beautiful to look at address and it gives a very comfortable "ping" when you smash a ball perfect. It does go far, it is very forgiving, and it helps me play my best game.
Overall, I can't say enough great things about this club. If you must have the latest, you can pay twice as much for the FT-9 or if you want the square look FT-i clubs but overall, I think this FT-5 is great. It has multimetal technology, carbon fiber, weighting in the perimeter to make it very stable. It's not infinitely customizable like some of the newest clubs out there but for me, it works just fine - its a golf club and a big one at that.
I think this puppy will stay in my bag until it falls apart, 5-7 years, or until something really radical comes out that makes me fall in love again (I must say, when these 460cc....big....drivers came out, I fell in love and what made me upgrade).
