Product Description


Amazon.com Product Description
With the new Callaway FT-iZ Driver, Callaway engineers came up with an entirely new design that produces a driver that's longer and straighter than anything we've ever made. Utilizing the latest technology, the FT-iZ incorporates polar weighting for faster ball speeds and a straighter line, a precision controlled hyperbolic face cup for consistently higher ball speeds, and a fusion construction that uses exceptionally light yet strong materials for optimal performance.

The gold medal-winning Callaway FT-iZ Driver.
All this has resulted in the club being selected by Golf Digest as a gold medal winner in its 2010 Hot List--selected by a 32-person team of equipment editors, scientists, player panelists and retailers from over 400 entries.
Polar WeightingProvides stability, consistency, incredible feel and increased speed (linear acceleration). Callaway did all this by utilizing a heavy face and heavy in-line power source in the rear of the club to localize weight at the front and back of the driver.
Chemically Milled Hyperbolic Face CupDelivers Callaway's most consistently high ball speeds ever by using a chemical reduction process to selectively remove unwanted material for precision thickness control. And the strategic hyperbolic shaping of the face thickness dramatically improves impact efficiency and produces a larger effective hitting area--resulting in less disparity between the balls you hit in the center of the clubface and the balls you don't.

The sweet spot on a Callaway club with Hyperbolic Face Technology on the left, and a traditionally faced club on the right.
Compared to standard clubs, ball speed on off-center impacts from this club with Hyperbolic Face Technology will be noticeably greater. This contributes significantly to total distance on off-center hits.
Aerodynamic Body DesignReduces drag in the downswing for higher impact speeds. The progressive shape produces our most efficient high inertia clubhead ever.

Fusion TechnologyFor an optimal combination of performance and feel with stunning looks. Callaway exploited extreme weight placement by utilizing cast titanium, compression cured carbon fiber, formed aluminum and cast steel.

Customer Reviews


I've been a Taylormade Burner guy for 3 years, an outstanding club, but I decided to try this club at a demo day. The head shape seemed odd at first, and took a little adjustment. Being a 22 handicap, I needed a driver I could hit straight with distance. I had a tendency to fade or slice the burner if my hand timing was a little late on the release. The major advantage I see is the balance of the club head in relation to the shaft. It is very easy for me to to feel the head on the downswing and release the club correctly. I track my fairway % on my sky caddie, and have seen a 44% improvement. I use impact tape to judge my contact point on the face, and have noticed a much improved "closer to the sweet spot" on this club. I had often hit the burner too high on the face. Closer to the toe shots remained fairly straight and a distance of 200 yards. Sweet spot hits go from 230-250. (I'm 50, with a 105 mph swing speed) I bought the 9 degree regular flex. I am happy to say that I think this is the first year in many that Callaway has made major strides for high handicap golfers. They say the swing is the most important factor, and technology can only help so much, but I believe this driver's strength is it's ability to help me feel the proper swing. I also purchased Callaway Diablo edge irons at my local store. I normally shy away from Callaway with the high pricing, but the trade-in values they are giving is unbelievable.

This is a great driver but the head is much bigger than my 15 year old Driver so I need to get used to it still. However, missed shots don't seem to penalize me like my old driver. Got the stiff shaft and its light and very smooth. Feels balanced. You don't have to swing that hard for the ball to launch easily off the club head. I think Callaway has done a phenominial job with these. Buy these for $150 or less and you won't go wrong.
