Callaway FT-9 Review

Callaway FT-9 driver is billed by the company as “the shot maker,” and it’s an apt nickname for what the club can do. For golfers who like the freedom to shape their shots off the tee, this is a driver that combines the distance that the Callaway brand name is known for with the directional skills that rival anything on the market.

The Callaway FT-9 driver uses the company’s proprietary technology to merge the club’s carbon composite body with a face cup made of titanium. This gives the club an optimum center of gravity, with two weighting systems available that allow golfers to pick the system that best fits their game. The draw location helps reduce slices and fades, while the neutral weighting allows increased flexibility for golfers to direct the ball where they want it to go. For those really looking for something special, the FT-9 Tour Driver has a more open face that is even better at producing stronger, penetrating trajectories that help shape shots around any obstacle.

In either setup, the degree of MOI means that the Callaway FT-9 it has the forgiveness needed to allow shots that aren’t hit on the center of the clubface to still fly like the ones struck perfectly, and the hyperbolic design helps keep the ball speed consistent when it flies off the face.

Just ask Phil Mickelson, Ernie Ells, Stuart Appleby, and J.J. Henry, each of whom uses it on the PGA Tour.
