the tour version helped me work the ball where i wanted it to go. much better than my tourburner. did not add any distance

By Badger Ken from Syracuse, NY on 8/25/2008

I feel great rapport with the FT-5 and have great confidence that I can execute the drive I need to make!

By Jeff in River City from Sacramento on 8/21/2008

I tried both the FT-i and the FT-5. For me the FT-5 was longer and more forgiving. I really like this driver.

By CK from Los Angeles, CA on 8/21/2008

This is, in my opinion, a better driver than FT-i. Good balance and accurate.

By Jarly Jarlsburg from West Hartford, CT on 8/18/2008

I have previously used the Taylormade R7 and the Callaway FT-i (among others) and would hit a big fade/slice with both. With this club I am long and straight consistently with off center hits still going up to 250 yards. The club has a very nice weight to it and a good balanced feel. Best driver I have ever hit

By Rookie from Houston, TX on 8/17/2008

Great club off the tee!

By NeedhamLex from Needham, MA on 8/15/2008

This club is long off the tee when you hit it on the screws (as long or maybe a bit longer than my old BB 454 Titanium). But the huge difference is when you miss the sweet spot. The MOI/resistance to twisting isn't a lie. Toe it with a slice swing, and this club is just off the fairway instead of deep in the trees. Note: you lose considerable distance on mishits, but what you lose in yardage you more than make up for in accuracy.

By BOOM-BOOM from BALTIMORE. MD on 8/15/2008

SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE DRIVER, MY DRIVES HAVE BEEN LONG AND STRAIGHT. IT AMAZES EVERYONE I PLAY WITH ON A REGULAR BASIS AS WELL AS MYSELF.

By Phil C from jackson NJ on 8/15/2008

Driving off tee. Better control and distance than my big bertha 454. Dives are longer and straighter

By Golf Pro Wanna Be! from Reston, VA on 8/14/2008

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!

Hits straight even on mishits, great swwe spot

By Jimmy from Statesb oro, GA on 8/14/2008

I love the feel and set up of this driver. This driver has helped me to eliminate the dreaded slice from the tee box. I bought the draw version and while I rarely hit a draw with it, I at least hit it straight. The sound of the ball off the club takes some getting use to but distance off the tee has improved about 15 yards.

Just a great driver

Has added 10-20 yards off the tee

Bottom line: The best driver I have owned! Traded in my Cleaveland and went with the 11 degree draw; min 30 yards longer and kept it straight!

Longer and straighter
Shipment arrived on time and pre-owned driver, said to be "like new" looked brand new, as if it had never been hit.

I am able to play with more confidence and on tighter courses.

[...] I found the condition of this 'used' golf club to be well above the 'average' rating it was given. But best of all, it works just as advertised ... I'm hitting longer straighter drives more consistently than ever before. Pounding balls well past the 250 yard marker on the driving range is almost as much fun as hitting balls within short pitching wedge range on par 4's. Lovin' it!

By Twoply from Bristol, TN on 8/5/2008

Straight off the tee, don't get into jail on many tee shots

I now have great confident when I step up to the first tee! The FT-5 a loughs me to hit the ball further than any club ever hit!

By Francis - Played 50+ rnds snce Easter08 from Houston, TX on 8/3/2008

I finally found a driver I will keep. Tried Big Bertha, R5, and FT-i. This one is straight and long. I am hitting an average of 8 more fairways per round. I am hitting drives at least 50 yds further. Love the feel through the swing.

It goes great off a high tee, well forward in your stance. Even those that don't get the sweet spot fly long and high.

Have constantly fought a fade, I am hitting it straight and often with a slight draw now.

By Rob Milligan from Blairgowrie, Scotland on 7/29/2008

I played the FT-3 Tour for a long time until at a social outing I tried a friends FT-5, one hit was all it took, I had an FT-5 Tour ordered from this site within 48hrs!
The FT-5 is instantly much more forgiving and launches higher, this higher ball flight provides more distance and the superb forgiveness provides much greater accuracy.
I have tried most of the other 'Big Dawgs' in the market today and I have yet to find anything which compares to the overall performance of the FT-5.
Awesome Club, Well Done Callaway!

i just did not like the way it hit or sounded.if i hit it on the sweet spot it had a different sound.i found myself waiting for that sound.

By GR from Alliance, Ohio on 7/25/2008

Great distance and accuracy

Distance is great. Still getting use to the club. It's my first draw club so I'm working the kinks out of my swing.

By ottobypass from Genova, Italy on 7/24/2008

I bought it one month ago and increased immediately my accuracy. Great feel compared to my old one (Cobra SZ400). Simply the best one I have ever tried.
Now I can get the most of fairways,what was a dream before.

By Mal McGolfer from Dallas, TX on 7/22/2008

Love this driver. Great distance - has added at least 15 yards and greatly reduced misses to the right. Gets good distance on off center hits, even sounds great when you really catch one.

I am a senior and replaced my FT-3 with the FT-5. I estimate that it added 20 yards to my tee shots.

Able to hit this driver much straighter off the tee. Bad shots still produce a much more playable shot. Love it.

driving less slicing more yardage

Let the club do the work and it will!

This corrected my sometimes big slice and reduced it to a slight fade, so all my bad shots are much better than they used to be will my old Taylor Made R5

I wasn't sure what "like new" would be--I am extremely pleased. A Callaway rep spent time with me during our course's Demo Day and I was able to purchase the club he recommended at Pre-Owned--I couldn't be more pleased!!

A solid upgrade for the money. [...]the condition of the club (very good) was even better than described on the site.

This is the first driver I have been able to hit and actually keep it in play! I tend to have a slice shot and worked it into a fade with my smaller clubs, but I could never hit the Driver. It always sliced way off course, sometimes off the golf course all together! This club is forgiving enough that not only do I keep it on the course but I even hit the fairways a large portion of the time (and that really is saying a lot!). Thanks for the great club at the AWESOME price!

This is the best driver I have ever had. The ball carries farther and shots are more accurate. The caddies love it, my ball is almost always in the fairway.

I have always had trouble with my drivers having minds of there own but when i got the ft-5 with the speeder shaft the ball started going where i wanted it to

Tha sweet spot and a very hot face makes a great driver...

It just wasn't the game improvement tool I had hoped for

I hit this FT-5 5-10 yards further than my old Taylor Made, and I don't hit the occasional slice as often. I've had to alter my setup a little and I'm still getting used to it -- I think I'll hit this club really consistently once I've gotten comfortable with it.

Wasn't any longer than my present Ping G5

Nice driver. It adds distance and accuracy, and is very forgiving.

After a shoulder injury, my swing was totally overhauled to a smooth, slower tempo (95 mph). Everyone was outdriving me, so I scoured the internet looking for non-conforming drivers to help me keep up with my 4-some. I hit them all, spent hundreds upgrading shafts and buying and selling on the net. I finally just decided to try the FT-5 draw.........AND I'LL NEVER EVER SELL IT. My search is over. It's like hitting the golf lottery.

This club is 20 to 30 yards longer than my Big Bertha III and accurate. No dissapointments.

Keeps the ball in the fairway

By Fuzzy from westchester county, new york on 7/7/2008

I have lost distance since back surgery and very frustrated. This club does deliver more and I am sure will just get better the more I use it and work on my game.

By Thumper from Wellsville, NY on 7/4/2008

Very forgiving - long and straight - 30 yards longer than the FT-3

Regained my accurracy nd distance with my new/used driver.

By Iron Mike from Grasonville, MD. on 7/3/2008

By far the very best of the best........
I purchased mine used from the Callaway Preowned Store. Because I'm a lefty, my choices were limited. I have suffered with a SLICE for years with no cure to be found,........and so I took a chance on a STIFF SHAFT DRAW SETUP.....It was only available with an 11 degree head. Well let me tell you that my chance paid off in spades.
No more slice(a rare push yes)and the distance is better than my 10 degree former FT-1 driver...........
I love the look and the feel is just plain WOW!!!!!

[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]

Don't try to kill the ball and it will go!
Accurate when you swing it easy, erratic when you try to kill the ball. About as long as my Taylor Made Burner.

Great driver for those battling a slice, has remarkably straightened out my drives keeping 8 of 10 in the fairway (a bad swing will slice any club). Great feel, low vibration on arthritic hands. Love the Ft-5.

By JF from Royal Oaks, Ca. on 6/29/2008

I hit it longer and straighter

By Bill from Sparks, Maryland on 6/27/2008

off tee, can fade or draw, high or low, great feel and control

[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]

I used to play with a FT3 regular Shaft with Draw Bias. My wife gave my this FT5 club with neutral bias and stiff flex as a Birthday present.

I have to agree that although the FT3 hits long, the FT5, makes easier to hit long shots of the Tee with a crispier sound. I totally recommend this club for any golfer; worth the investment.

Callawaypreowned is a great service if you do not want to expend the big dough as you would on a regular retailer.

By Golf Geek from Moraga, CA on 6/26/2008

I upgraded to the FT-5 from the x460 Tour and couldn't be happier. I normally hit the x460 about 250 yards with a good swing. With the FT-5, I consistently bomb it pass 260 to 270 yards. And the sound at impact sounds so sweet!

I really like the feel and controlI get with this.
I have a natural draw and this club helps minimize the someofthe draw.

By Oslo from Norway on 6/25/2008

This is a great product, solid and straight shots, great loft, exactly what I expected.

took it out for the first time and instead of having a long 6 iron in on my most hated par 4 it was an easy 8 iron for GIR

Others in my usual group took notice, all tried mine (thanks for the sky mark E...) and all bought one. Don't know how to better recommend a product

it just feels so much better than any other club i have ever it. love the sweet spot

By Richmag21 from nyc on 6/23/2008

Great feel and forgiveness

By Tom T. from Osoyoos, BC on 6/23/2008

Looks right and hits long and straight.

The ball just explodes off the face - anyone wanting to add distance and workability off the tee needs to hit the FT-5.

By REDWING13 from TROY, MICHIGAN on 6/22/2008

It has reduced my slicing considerably and obviously added distance, especially when I hit the sweet spot. WOW!

Just received my FT5 10 deg. with nuetral weighting today. After 1 bucket of balls I'm in love (I hit another after that for the fun of it). Went from a power fade with my old driver to a dead straight bomb and even a few slight draws. The sound is unique but I don't mind it and it did turn some heads at the range. Forgiveness is great. The few hits I had on the heel over-reaching were still long and straight.

By D-Lux from Chicago, IL on 6/20/2008

The clubhead is light and set up nicely at address. The regular shaft works well for someone like me who has a swing speed under 100. Get out there and crush it!

I absolutely love this club. It has increased the yardage on most of my drives and has helped me shave some strokes off my game. I would definitely recommend this club to any lady golfer who is wanting to accomplish longer drives off the tee. Good luck all in your game.

By davey from dunwoody, ga. on 6/18/2008

longer then my FT-3.......better control

I use the FT-5 Driver off the tee on long par 4's and par 5's. I is awesome. I have averaged 20 yards father with this driver and have hit more fairways. I have confidence in this club.

I love my FT-5 neutral driver the best driver that I have ever owned. This driver is so good that I bought one for my oldest son and hits his FT-5 40 yards further than my drives but he is 20 years younger than me. But sometimes I stay equal with him. Would recommend this club to everybody who is looking for more distance and accuracy.
