Callaway FT-iZ Driver

As spring finally emerges in the northern hemisphere, it slowly becomes apparent which drivers will stand out for 2011 and which will underperform and fade into the sunset. The Callaway FT-iZ Driver will be one of the drivers that people will still talk about in 2012, and for golf clubs, that says quite a bit. The new FT-iZ was introduced as part of the Callaway FT series and is designed similar to and succeeds the Callaway FT Irons.The FT-iQ, launched in 2010, was one of Callaway's more abstract driver head shapes. This driver featured a very square-shaped driver head whose sole purpose was to improve driving accuracy by producing a more square club face at impact. Although this technology proved beneficial in improving driving accuracy, the FT-iQ's square head shape was also determined to be a little bit slower at the moment of impact because of more aerodynamic drag. Thus spurring on the design for the 2011 Callaway FT-iZ driver.As mentioned, the main change in the FT-iZ is the "sleekening" of the clubhead. Callaway Ft-IQ Driver is engineered with a more elongated, curved and aerodynamic clubhead but still maintains all the benefits of the sqaure shaped FT-iQ in terms of driving accuracy. The FT-iZ does this by containing 75% of the clubhead's weight in the face and the weighted heel. The center part of the driver head is constructed of the lightest carbon fibre fusion body Callaway has ever produced, therefore ensuring maximum distance with greater club head stability for accuracy.
