Incredible Callaway FT iz driver
You see where I'm coming from? Head shape and a sense of familiarity are far more important to me than the very latest technological ‘breakthrough' which, as we all know, might be no more technological than a slightly different color paint and new graphic.
A golfer would be foolish though to reject every new club that comes along, and definitely shouldn't pass up the possibility of carrying the ball an extra couple of yards just for the sake of being a traditionalist – as if hitting a TaylorMade r7 425, Nike SQ DYMO, Callaway FT iz driver or Big Bertha 460, for instance, makes you a traditionalist.
The question remains though: is the new flagship of Callaway's range of drivers, the FT-iZ, worth your attention? Does it offer more than a quick, but well disguised, restyling job? Should even staunch traditionalists shelve their aversion to innovation and check it out?
It's perhaps a little early to tell, and you certainly won't find me making any claims based on a session at an indoor range. But if you believe what Callaway is saying, for example ‘the FT-iZ is longer and straighter than any driver we've ever made', it definitely sounds like you should be heading to your pro shop for a test drive at least.
The biggest innovation is Polar Weighting in the head. This means, basically, a heavier face than is typical and a back weight.
"74% of the head's weight is found at the face and in the back weight port," says Director of Product Design Luke Williams. "Polar weighting will make the head noticeably more stable on off-centre hits, meaning greater distance when you miss the sweetspot. Next up is the ‘Chemically-milled Hyperbolic Face Cup', made possible by a chemical reduction process that uses acid to remove the brittle alpha case, a by-product of the casting process and on which cracks are likely to propagate.
‘This allows us to control the thickness of the face,' says Williams, ‘which, in turn, means we can control the Callaway FT iz driver's CT (formerly COR) and position very precise weights.'
Fusion technology – a combination of aluminium, steel, carbon-fibre and titanium, allows the weight to be positioned where you need it, makes the club lighter and dampens the sound without the explosive ‘crash' of an all-titanium driver being lost entirely. The result is an impressively high moment of inertia.
It's a compelling collection of technologies that will have the tech-heads salivating. Ernie Els has also appeared pretty keen since putting it in play at the Sony Open, three weeks ago. Though he admits he's not technically-minded like Phil Mickelson, he knows what he likes.
My only reservation when I first clapped eyes on the FT-iZ was the shape of the head – the now seemingly standard ‘progressive' shape that features a wide face tapering towards a point at the back, making it look almost triangular. With the fairly low-profile face and this tapered design, the FT-iZ creates 11% less drag than the FT-iQ (mind you, a London bus probably cuts through the air more efficiently than the FT-iQ) – another aid to greater distance.
Review Summary: Can't recommend this club unless you want a club that plays much weaker than normal, to satisfy your ego. You can say that you play a Stiff flex shaft, when really it feels like an R flex shaft, but your playing partners won't know. And you'll get added height to your shots if needed. This club may be suited to some golfers, but not to me. I think slow swingers may actually like this club quite a bit, and they can get it in a flex stronger than they normally play to assuage thier ego. Aldila's swing speed recommendations seem to be way off, unless as I said, Callaway marked the shafts differently so that they are actually softer than labelled. I'm not a nitpicker, as I've played other Callaway branded clubs and liked them. A few years ago, they had a driver known as the Hyper X 460 Ti driver, and I liked that one very much. And I even liked the Callaway FT-iZ hybrid that I tried the same day, but this driver seems like an ‘old man' club. I seriously doubt that Phil Mickelson has this stock shaft in his version of the driver, if in fact he plays this model.
