Callaway Fusion FT-iQ
Billed as the firm's longest, straightest
driver. Ever.

Callaway's stealth-like FT-iQ driver is
engineered to swing fast and hit hard.
"It's our most energy-efficient face with
our most stable head," says Dr. Alan
Hocknell, Callaway's VP of Innovation
and Advanced Design. In short, it boosts
ball speed—for longer drives—due to a
hyperbolic face design, high MOI and
precise center of gravity (CG) location.
The turbocharged titanium face (with
an "X" pattern behind the hitting area)
is thickest in the center and becomes
rapidly thinner in the perimeter. This
construction delivers consistent ball
speed across the face so misses carry
nearly as far as center strikes (see face
map, above). A tapered, lightweight
composite body gets the club's center of
gravity twice as low (and more rearward)
than FT-i, resulting in 300 rpm less
backspin. That's significant because FT-i
was known to produce too much spin,
particularly at higher swing speeds. In
addition, the rear chamber (including
weights) accounts for 18 percent of the
head's total mass. The payoff is greater
control—MOI is 8 percent higher
than FT-i; shot curvature is 35 percent
less than FT-i—off the tee. $499 to
