Callaway FT-9 Tour Neutral Driver
Callaway FT-9 Tour Neutral Driver If you've got the creativity in your game to imagine golf's most incredible tee shots, Callaway's FT-9 Tour Neutral Driver is made for you. Callaway Golf engineers were able to expand on the success of the FT-5 and surpass expectations with the FT-9. With the addition of Hyperbolic Face Technology, ball speeds across the entire face have been dramatically improved to generate even more distance off the tee. Golfers have the option to choose Draw or Neutral configurations with the help of external web weighting that positions the CG to promote the desired trajectory and ball flight for the desired shot shape. This Tour version features a slightly open face angle and produces stronger, more penetrating trajectories preferred by highly accomplished players. Features: Hyperbolic Face Technology: creates Callaway's highest ever ball speeds across the entire face Fusion Technology: creates maximum perimeter weighting by combining a carbon composite bo

Ft-9 Tour Gets your Mojo on the Go
Date: September 30, 2009
I bought my FT-9 Tour with a Fuijikura Stiff shaft and right out of the bag, hit one of the best drives of my golfing career smack down the middle for the first time during a competition event. The same thing happened on the next hole, and the next, and the next. Bad drives............gone forever. I thought it was just me. A week later, a friend of mine snapped his new Taylor Burner at the hosel on the first tee. I told him to go to the clubhouse and demo a FT-9 regular driver (he's is a very high handicapper), Though we lost our turn on the tee box waiting for him to get the demo. Guess what? When the pro brought out the new FT-9 driver for him to play with as a demo, my friend stepped right up and nailed it down the middle. I mean "crushed it. Yes, that's right! He has been driving the ball great ever since that day. His "mojo is on the go." Not only does the club has great "tee appeal", the FT-9 IS UNBELIEVABLE. I'd like see Callaway try to improve on this club.

Best Driver on the market !
Date: August 3, 2009
The first thing I noticed was the quality of the club, it doesn't feel cheap like some of the other drivers on the market. You get what you pay for and until you try this driver out you will not understand this! I got fitted for this driver and it has been awesome. I struggle with a hook and having a 1 degree open face gives you a feeling of confidence that few drivers in the market can. That being said if you have a slice or fade this club probably isn't for you, but try it out anyways as some of my friends who have fades seem to hit this club straight. They were simply amazed by its length and accuracy. This club doesn't have a draw bias like the majority of the cheaper clubs do. It really lets you focus on hitting the shot you want. The distance and forgiveness are incredible. I've played Taylor Made Tour Burner TP, Titleist D3, and the Callaway FT-9 Tour was by far my favorite. As another reviewer stated it seems that the sweet spot is a bit high on the face so you have to adjust a bit and tee it up and let it RIP! Give it a try, but make sure you get fitted as you might find some of the stock shafts a bit too stiff for your liking.
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Good Value, Durability

Hands Down Best Multi-Material Driver
Date: July 27, 2009
If you havn't had a lot of experience with different drivers, the break down goes like this. For all titanium drivers, go with Titleist, they are the best overall. Realize though that with a titanium driver there is a small sweet spot and less forgiveness. If you want technology and multi-material in a driver, Callaway owns the boat. They have massive R&d budgets and develop the BEST drivers out there. Between the weight, look and feel of this driver you will not be unhappy. The ball speeds and forgiveness you get are incredible. I'm very long off the tee and have always been able to knock it 330 down the middle when I hit it in the middle. With this driver though, I can knock it 315 on a mis-hit, unreal. With titanium drivers I often would be penalized to around 290 on mis-hits. 25 yards is HUGE in this game if you don't know already. I recommend getting a stiff tip shaft on the heavier side if your swing can afford it. I use a proforce V2 85 at 45.5 inches.

Awesome Driver
Date: July 20, 2009
I switched to this driver from a Cobra F speed a couple of weeks ago. I was a little leery of switching because I hit the Cobra really well. I am definitely happy with the purchase. I am surprised at how far the ball goes with much less effort. The "hot" spot on this club seems to be about a half inch above the center of the face. When I hit it there it doesn't feel like that great of a shot and when I get to my ball, it's about 20 yards farther than normal. This is the straightest driver I have ever hit. I would recommend this to any golfer. High or low handicapper. It is easy to hit and you can still work a draw or fade with it. Excellent product!

I've only had about half a dozen outings with this club, and I'm in love with it.
I couldn't hit my woods at all before this driver. I was always tee'ing off with my 5 iron just to get me 200 yards out there and decent yardage for an approach. Now i'm hitting my driver 270 yds -320 yds up the middle of the fairway almost every time. That's puts me into wedge range for all par 4's and some short par 5's.
I'd give it 4 stars because it was really expensive, but I got the deal for 2 '08 X fairway woods.
Pros: Quality, Durability, Easy to Use, Features

FT-9... Another Great Callaway Driver
Date: April 13, 2009
I've been gaming an FT-5 Driver for the last 2 years. I've owned several other drivers including a Ping G5, a Clevland Hi-Bore XL, a TM Tour Burner TP, a Cobra S9-1 Pro D, and a Tour Edge Exotics XCG. All of those drivers are very good in their own right and they all put up exceptional Launch Monitor numbers, however, none of these drivers has been able to knock the FT-5 out of my bag for more than 3 or 4 rounds. The FT-5 in my opinion is the best driver I have played in the past 2 years, I hit it as far as any driver I have tried and for the most part I know where it is going to go. Now on to the the FT-9... The FT-9 seems to me to be basically an FT-5, with a few minor differences. First I can work the FT-9 to the right a little easier than I can the FT-5. I rarely tried to work a fade with the FT-5 but I find it is pretty easy with the FT-9 and the ball really goes when you do. Second the FT-9 has a slightly lower ball flight, which I prefer. I can launch both the FT-5 and FT-9 a mile in the air if I want to but I can keep the FT-9 down a little better when the situation dictates. As far as distance goes I'm not sure if the FT-9 is any longer than the FT-5, it has been so windy here for the past month it is hard to tell, but it seems to be at least as long as my FT-5. For those who couldn't get over the aluminum bat sound of the FT-5 the FT-9 is much more subdued "vocally". Feed back is good so far, although I haven't played it enough to be in tune with the subtle nuances of the feel. On several occasions I've launched one high on the face (the hottest part of the FT-9) and thought I didn't get all of it, only to find that it is much further than I anticipated. The FT-9 is a great club. It may not be light years ahead of Callaway's last offering, the FT-5, but they have definately fine tuned the FT-9 and in the right hands it is a weapon.
Pros: Quality, Durability
Cons: price, availability more stores should stock the 8.5*

FT-9
Date: March 19, 2009
Great driver. Very forgiving and goes a long way.
Make sure to get a shaft that matches your swing speed and desired trajectory. I tried the stock fujikura shaft and was not impressed, ball really ballooned. I then tried with the fujikura zcom shaft and it was a perfect fit.
Compared with the Callaway IQ driver, I found the FT-9 is longer, but the IQ is more accurate. Both are great drivers.

Great
Date: February 17, 2009
I bought this the day it came out and only mised 4 fairways the first time i used it. IT sort of feels like a ping driver but when you hit it in the middle of the hyperbolic face it totally blows ping and any other company out of the water. it doesnt really add any didstance but its way more forgving than the FT-5.
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Features
Cons: money $$$$$$$
