After nearly six months of buzz and anticipation, the latest drivers
featuring Callaway Golf’s (NYSE: ELY) proprietary Fusion Technology will be
available tomorrow, Thursday, February 15, at golf retail locations across the
country.
The Callaway Golf® FT-
i™ and FT-5™ Drivers have been the talk of the
golf equipment world since word of their development leaked out last fall. The
FT-
i Driver has drawn tremendous attention for its unique square
clubhead – featuring Complete Inertial Design for a higher total moment of
inertia – and the remarkably straight drives it produces, making it quite
possibly the World’s Straightest Driver.
The FT-5, a more traditionally-shaped driver with 50 grams of discretionary
weight to help better control tee shots, was named
Editor’s Choice on the
prestigious
Hot List published in this month’s issue
of
Golf Digest. The FT-5 Driver also was in Phil Mickelson’s bag
when he won last weekend’s AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am by five shots,
matched the tournament record at 20 under par and missed just one fairway in the
final round.
"I've never had this kind of feeling on the tee box," Mickelson said. "I'm
not worried about if it's going to go left or go right. I'm just so comfortable
right now. There's a whole different center of gravity, MOI, all that technical
stuff. It's not because of anything with my swing, but that the club just
performs well."
The new FT-
i Driver has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of
$625; the FT-5 Driver has an MSRP of $535 for the standard model and $565 for
the Tour version. To learn more and to find an authorized Callaway Golf retailer
