Callaway FT-5 Draw Driver
Callaway’s first graphite body driver wasn’t particularly well received. I remember golfers who tried it tellime me that it felt and sounded funny. And in fairly short order, they were in the bargain bins at the local pro shops.
The new FT-5 Draw, on the other hand, was named an Editor’s Choice in the 2007 Golf Digest Hot List.
The key to this clubhead is the carbon composite material which—being much lighter than titanium—allows Callaway to redistribute fifty grams of weight to the perimeter. This is the holy grail of current clubhead design, as the weight helps to increase the Moment of Inertia (resistance to twisting). Twenty five grams located at the rear of the clubhead lowers the center of gravity to improve the trajectory.
The club also features Callaway’s Variable Face Thickness Technology, which helps to maximize the sweet spot. Callaway says that makes it the hottest clubface yet.
