JustOne
Ryder Cup Winner
This club goes like a rocket, it literally pings off the clubface and silently rockets into the distance. My old Titleist club used to sound good (like a space shuttle thrust on a good impact) but it was all spin, you could literally hear the spin of the ball over the first 100yards as it fizzed away, people standing nearby were impressed! the FT-iQ doesn't do that. It fires the ball off with a lot less spin and full throttle forward thrust, less noise more distance. When you middle it the ball almost seems to hang in the air for ages as the lower spin lifts it more gently,.. high launch, low spin. You can really stay behind it and strike upwards on it if you want (although i have a slightly decending blow when I hit it).
Already (even though it's Winter) I've hit some drives longer than I've ever hit them in the Summer.
You have to not mind the look of a square clubhead (I hated the idea until I had the club in my hand) although it's certainly not as boxy as some. The old FTi driver used to sound terrible when hit, enough to make you WANT to get rid of it, the FTiQ has a much more balanced sound, more solid, not quite as thrusting as a Titleist but certainly not something you'll be embarrassed by.
I've tried a few setups. The standard head sits a little closed (only 1 degree) and is almost impossible to slice (unless you REALLY open the face up, throw the club over the top and fall back on it about 3 feet) even shots off the heel fade only slightly (remaining playable) but get vastly improved distance than a mishit with any other club I've used.
The tour head sits half a degree open which enables the better player to shape shots a little, whilst invariably keeping it straighter than most.
I have tinkered with i-mix (might still get one) however a little birdie told me that it's possible that the club head could come loose if you hit a huge one off the toe and that I'd be advised to carry the wrench at all times.
The regular Fubuki 63 shaft is excellent and feels stiffer than most regular shafts, however I opted for the stiff as my swingspeed is excellent when I'm pumped full of steroids... erm, I mean.. in the Summer when I'm warm and only wearing a poloshirt instead of 4 layers and freezing my n*ts off. It is also lower torque (3.7) than the other shafts.
If there's one drawback with the club it's the clubhead cover
They should have made it bigger! The FTiQ one is so fiddly that I asked for a different one.
Probably the best driver I've hit, in fact it's that good that anything that doesn't go straight down the middle is the fault of my swing and not the club
I personally reckon that you'd see a lot more people using this club if Callway hadn't priced it so flippin' high when it came out, (£379 for standard model, £399 for Tour version) is absolutely ridiculous for Mr.Sensible family man golfer.
Some pro shops currently have the FTiQ available for £199... take one for a spin... what harm could it do?
