The Wait is Over: Callaway Launches FT-i and FT-5 Today!
After nabbing a big introductory win at Pebble Beach last week, Callaway's dynamic duo drivers (FT-i and FT-5) arrive in stores just in time for the upcoming golf season.
Nothing warms me on an ice cold northeastern morning than the thought of shiny MOI goodness being unboxed and placed on showroom floors. Think I'll take a drive later today.
Callaway Press Release - After nearly six months of buzz and anticipation, the latest drivers featuring Callaway Golf’s proprietary Fusion Technology are available today, Thursday, February 15, at golf retail locations across the country.
The Callaway Golf® FT-i™ and FT-5™ Drivers have been the talk of the golf equipment world since word of their development leaked out last fall. The FT-i Driver has drawn tremendous attention for its unique square clubhead – featuring Complete Inertial Design for a higher total moment of inertia – and the remarkably straight drives it produces, making it quite possibly the World’s Straightest Driver.
The FT-5, a more traditionally-shaped driver with 50 grams of discretionary weight to help better control tee shots, was named Editor’s Choice on the prestigious Hot List published in this month’s issue of Golf Digest. The FT-5 Driver also was in Phil Mickelson’s bag when he won last weekend’s AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am by five shots, matched the tournament record at 20 under par and missed just one fairway in the final round.
"I've never had this kind of feeling on the tee box," Mickelson said. "I'm not worried about if it's going to go left or go right. I'm just so comfortable right now. There's a whole different center of gravity, MOI, all that technical stuff. It's not because of anything with my swing, but that the club just performs well."
The new FT-i Driver has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $625; the FT-5 Driver has an MSRP of $535 for the standard model and $565 for the Tour version. To learn more and to find an authorized Callaway Golf retailer near you, please visit www.callawaygolf.com.
