End of an Era and an rekindling of an old friend...

The Launcher is officially out of the Shot Talk circle. After many great experiences, a hiatus to Wisconsin and a travel back, the Launcher 460 is now gone.

Fairwell, old friend.

However, a new stick enters the scene, something that I've been wanting to try for some time in an extended experiment...something long and untamed.

When it arrives, I'll have a photo session.

Cripes, we don't even have an emoticon for this. I'll leave this for now...

Are you suggesting that your picking up an FT-3?

I knew that Launcher talk was all BS for the past two years.

Rock, you talk some crap. You sure you don't write Mills and Boon novels?

Cally FT3 Tour 9.5 degree, draw bias with Grafalloy Blue Tour in S flex, by any chance?

The Cally FT stable is in good form, 3 weeks in a row the winner on the PGA tour and now they've managed to sign the Rock!!!

Yeah, but that's with the FT-5. The FT-3 is a piece of s**t!!

The FT3 Tour is an awesome stick. I play with a 14 year old kid at our place. He has an FT3 Tour with the Pro-Launch shaft & that combo is the dogs bollox. (He hits it 300+ yards)! We went to the range last night and I was winding up my mate who works there, he's trying to make pro (doing his pga this year). He plays a Titty 905R with the Speeder shaft. I always wind him up telling him it's a fake speeder because it says 'exclusivly designed for Titleist' on it. I tell him you can get real Speeders in any brand so if that one is exclusive to Titlesit then it's a 'pretend' Speeder. Anyhow after months of badgering him about this, yesterday he finaly had a go of the FT3, well he was bombing it 20 yards past his Titty and a hell of a lot straighter to boot. In fact he said it opened his eyes and he might even switch. He was one of them players who gets down to low singles then thinks he should be using Titleist clubs (?) so I feel quite proud that I managed to get him to think differently.

Callaway is seaching for international talent. First they sign Ernie to represent in Europe and now Rock to represent up in the Great White North.

I would have to agree with WBL (and yes it pains me to do so ) and give the FT-5 the props it desrves. The FT-5 is a fine driver, more impressive that the FT-3. Although, the FT-3 is more of Rock's style. He tends to buy into the previous year's models to save some bucks. Smart shopping, but I would have waited a year for the FT-5.

Check out Stenson closer, goofballs. That's an Ft-3 Tour, not a Srixon, nor an Ft-5 nor a Mills and Boon novel.

19 has it. NVS 75g Ft-3 Tour, neutral bias. Not that he cheated or anything....

R35

Manchester, I REALLY wanted that Tour Blue Ft-3, but shipping was like shoving a parking cone up my arse. 200 quid for a driver.....feck me!

WBL my friend, Mr Stenson only changed to Srixon at the start of this season, so the picture R35 posted is right upto date and if you take a close look that in his hands is the piece of sh*t your refering to.

I'll never play a TM driver. Never. I just think that there are many, many options before I would paly one that would be worth 30 cents on the dollar two months after I bought it.

No thanks.

I appreciate you looking out for me. If you see an Ft-5 neutral in 8.5* for under 200 bucks, let me know.
