My FTi 1st impression's

Well they say that 1st impression's last and in this case they are so right, This thing is the dogs danglies ! ! !

1st of all I'd like to thank DannyKos for wording me up about getting a lower loft than usal. I normally play 9.5-10.5 but purchased the 8.5 Tour on Danny's advice. I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to get the ball airborne enough with 8.5 degrees but this flies on a HIGH hanging trajectory.

It arrived on Wednesday and I've played 72 holes with it, including a trip to St.Annes old links today. I'd sum it up by simply saying that this is the best golf club that I've ever bought bar none (and there have been lots). It looks good at address and is so easy to aim with the square sides it's become 'normal' looking to me already. I've found this club to be longer than my FT-3 Tour. I've hit them both side by side at the course and the FT-i does go further and straighter. You can't really play for a shape with it though, when I try to hit a draw it just goes straight and this is the draw model btw. I find the best way to use it is to take aim dead centre of the fairway and unload as hard as you like. 95% of the time I've hit the fairway, you may get a 15 yard draw or cut but you normally hit the fairway. The only fairways I've missed with it over the last 4 rounds have been when I have a left to right cross wind and my dodgie swing coupled with my mental weakness lead to a slice that even the FTi struggles to keep straight. (I normally hit a 2 iron with left to right winds). Anyway I will keep you updated with my findings as I play more with it. Any questions please ask and I'll try to answer them.
