Rocket. Science.Increased distance, accuracy and shot-shaping control.The new FT-5 Driver is the latest evolution in clubhead design utilizing our revolutionary Fusion Technology. A massive 50 grams of discretionary weight has been created using a Carbon Fiber Body — creating the OptiFit Weighting System that produces three center of gravity configurations: Draw, Neutral and Fade, enabling golfers to choose a combination to best suit their individual game. The larger, more robust CT/VFT Titanium cup face is designed to the legal limit, as defined by the USGA Characteristic Time test, resulting in increased ball speed, distance and forgiveness — even on miss-hits.

* Fusion Technology creates an unprecedented 50 grams of discretionary weight which is strategically positioned for a high Moment of Inertia and precise lateral location of the center of gravity. This provides exceptional stability on off-center hits, while enabling ball flight customization for optimal individual performance. The 25-gram weight located at the rear of the driver lowers the CG for optimal trajectory.
* The OptiFit Weighting System enables golfers to customize their driver by giving them three CG locations to choose from in most lofts: Draw for promoting a draw or reducing a slice/fade; Neutral for maximum workability; or Fade for promoting a fade or reducing a hook/draw.
* A 460cc head volume is incorporated with a longer, wider and hotter face for more confidence at address, a higher MOI and increased ball speed for longer, straighter drives.
* Modified VFT Technology in which face thicknesses are designed to maximize performance under the new USGA Characteristic Time test, resulting in a larger, more robust face for increased ball speed on shots hit all over the face. The Carbon Composite Body Is made of material that is significantly lighter than titanium, allowing engineers to move 50 grams of discretionary weight where it is needed most for better stability and distance.

Callaway drivers just gets better!

"I played with all the Callaway driver and this is the best! I went from FT-3 (Aldla NVS-55 Stiff 9 degree draw) which I loved due to ease of use and distance but the FT-5 (Aldla NVS-65 Stiff 9 degree draw) is even easier to use and its longer by at least 10 yards! I avg 250 yard with FT-3 all carry and now its 260 yrs plus with FT-5. Buy this driver, its long and straight!..." Read Full Review »

Not that much better

"Switched from an old Hawkeye 10 degree to this based on the reviews I read. I figured after 10 years, some new technology may help gain a few yards. I used to hit it pretty straight with the hawkeye, but not very long. My average was about 225 - 235. I'd say I'm pretty much hitting it the same distance with the FT. Not a fan of the big head drivers, but you gotta keep up with the times at some point. I definit..." Read Full Review »

"I have been golfing for about 20 years and for about 18 years I have never carried a driver in my bag because I have a terrible slice. I always used a 5W off the tee and sacrificed a lot distance for a straighter flight.
