Callaway FT IQ Review

Advancing the revolutionary ideas of the FT-iQ Driver, the new Callaway FT-iQ Driver features the best combination of distance and accuracy. The head shape has a sleek and stealthy look while raising the MOI for unprecedented accuracy off the tee.

Callaway are readying what it describes as its ‘straightest ever driver’ for the 2009 golf season in the form of the Callaway FT-iQ driver from golf clubset. The FT-iQ Driver features the best combination of distance and accuracy in a driver Callaway Golf has ever made. The refined head shape has a sleek and stealthy look while raising the MOI ( moment of inertia ) for unprecedented accuracy off the tee, while Hyperbolic Face Technology significantly raises ball speeds across the entire face for increased distance.

The sleak loking new Callaway FT-iQ driver has been designed using influences from Lamborghini supercars and stealth jet fighters and the sample obtained by the Today’s Golfer golf equipment team certainly echoes this.

I can tell you that after using golf iron set for the better part of two weeks, the face is HOT! The shaft used in our testing was the Mitsubishi Fubuki in stiff. I loved the shaft. Not flimsy at all, but had great play in the tip.Four out of the six players that tested the club on day one struggle with losing the ball to the right off the tee. The other two struggle with losing it to the left. They reported back great distance, phenomenal control, and no slicing. The two golfers that had issues with a hook both had problems with this club. They really liked the face at impact but just struggled to keep it straight.
We decided that we wanted more feedback from the general public on this driver and decided to take it back to the range for more testing. We took the driver to a very busy course on a Saturday morning and headed to their practice facility. Once there, we were able to get feedback from an additional 15 golfers of various skill levels on their thoughts on the Callaway FT IQ. We got lucky with this one as four of the golfers actually played the Callaway FT I and were able to compare this new driver head to head against last year’s model. All four of them preferred the new version for one reason. They said it went further. The rest of the golfers had the same feedback. If you struggle with a slice, this is a tremendous driver.
Over the next week, I played this driver on the course and to my amazement, they use the Ping G15, it is long and straight. However I am one of those players that can lose it to the right so having a driver slightly offset has never been an issue for me. I played 8 times with this driver on the course and the best effort was hitting all 14 fairways with it. The worst effort was hitting 11 of them.

To put that into perspective I average about 11 fairways per round at my home course. The distance was quite good as well. Definitely on par distance wise with what I am used to playing with even more forgivrness.Forgiveness has also been improved, with off centre hits flying straighter -  a fact the TG test team can back after hitting the driver during a top secret testing day.
