Callaway FT-iQ Driver Review
Callaway FT-iQ Overview/Technology-
The Callaway FT-iQ is certainly one of the most interesting drivers of 2009'. The shape looks more like a torpedo than a driver but I must say, the reviews thus far have been favorable. Top that off with a Gold rating by Golf Digest Hot Drivers list, and you've got a potential winner here that will make a big impact this Spring.
The carbon fiber shell provides a an overall improvement to the head stability of the driver. By utilizing a hyperbolic X-design in the cupface and rear-weighted along with a stretched square shape, the MOI on this club stretches the limit of the PGA standard. The ball launch is considered higher than that of the FT-i, it's predessor. In addition, the driver boasts a much lower spin rate than that of the FT-i.

Callaway FT-iQ Driver
Pros/Positives-
A very high tech driver that provides a feeling of confidence at address. The stealthy looking head shape provide a larger hitting area while keeping the sleek design. The extreme MOI provides a the average golfer with the resources to launch the ball with ease. New Mitsubishi Fubuki shaft nails it as being state of the art.
Cons/Negatives-
The closed club face does take the "workability" away from the scratch or low handicap golfer.
Overall/Rating-
The Callaway FT-iQ will become a hit for sure. The club is designed with the recreational player in mind, an extremely high MOI coupled with a low spin, provides all the ammunition for a straight, long ball. The fact that it is fitted at the factory with a Mitsubishi Fubuki, one of the hottest driver shafts on the market, makes this driver a must-see, must-try, driver for 2009'!
