First driver I bought: Callaway FT-i Tour Driver. My review.

April 27th, 2009 Callaway, Golf Club Reviews

Hello All,

Thanks for checking my site out today. I would like to share my experiences with my Callaway FTi driver. This was one of the very first drivers I bought when I was first getting into the golf hobby. Since then, I have bought dozens of clubs and have gotten much much better.

What got me to buy this driver was its funny shape. It was also fairly cheap at the time so I said what the heck I might as well buy it. I actually liked this club a lot even though it looks ridiculous. I don’t know the scientific stuff behind the design but all I know is that for $200, my Callaway FT-I Tour driver really held its own even with the more expensive drivers I bought later on.

  • Large Titanium Cup Face increases driving distance, control, and ball speed.
  • Weight positioned towards the hitting corner of the club creating a high moment of inertia.
  • Slightly angled club face.
  • Carbon composite body – lighter than titanium.

Check out this club on Amazon. I believe it is on sale now for $195.

All in all, I was completely pleased with with Callaway FT-I Tour Driver. I used it for a number of years and I think that it stands pretty well amongst the more expensive drivers out there. Out of all the reviews I have made on my clubs, this one definitely wins the highest value award. While I don’t use this driver anymore, I would definitely have no problem using it again if my main drivers ever break.

    Thank you for the review. Have you ever tried the R9 ?

    Hey Henri,

    Unfortunately I do not own the TM R9, and don’t really plan on getting in anytime in the near future. I have nothing against the clubs but I already have the r7s so I don’t feel the upgrade to my necessary. I do have a friend who has an R9 driver. I’m trying to get him to write up a review for me but it’ll probably never happen lol. Im just going to keep hounding him.

    Thanks for reading.
