Double Agent Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Callaway I just ordered the FT-5 Tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I'm going to give this thread a free bump. If I was not in love with my Cleveland HiBore that FT5 would be a club that I would for sure consider. I have hit the club a few times as my best golfing buddy has it in the bag. I very much like the club and those are some good deals. Callaway must be getting ready to roll something new out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Callaway must be getting ready to roll something new out. They are. I think the FT-7 is coming out in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I have had my Calloway X460 tour for a year now and freakin love it. Have hit a bunch of drivers, and I haven't found one I can crush as far and keep it as straight FT-5 is a nice nice club. tryin to decide between the X-20 tour and X-forged irons, gonna hit em both this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning Linguist Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) I just bought the FT-5 Tour with a Fujikara speeder 686 shaft for $125 from a local club pro. He didn't like it after only two rounds, so he went with the FT-i instead. The Callaway is hands down one of the best drivers i've had in the last 5 or so years. I still hit my Titelist 983 great, but the FT-5 much more consistent off the tee. I hit a big drive already so distance wasn't really an issue, although it does hit about 10-15 yds further than my 983 did. The FT-5 seems to be more workable for me also. I gave my wife my old X-12's and bought these X-20 tours I friggin love these irons. Not as long as the 12's but i can work these much easier.

Most Callaways are too clunky and I am diggin the X-20tours and X-forged - the X-forged is just a beautiful golf club. My local shop here has the X-20t and X-forged barely used with Project X shafts for under 600. Gonna go hit em when I get some time - may check out the Ping i10's and Mizuno's but I love the feel of Callaways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard great things about it. I ordered it with the Proforce V2 shaft which bumped the price up a little. I've heard good things about that shaft too. I've played the X460 Tour for the last year and I like it except I have a tendency to hook when I miss. I really like to take the left side out of the equation and I hear the FT-5 is hard to turn over...so we shall see. I almost purchased the Cobra L4V X the other day. But after hitting it on the launch monitor compared to my X460, I was not impressed. My ball speed with the X460 was 181-185 and the Cobra was 10 mph less. Was probably the shaft but I still walked away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
