More Callaway Crap... and new grips

I just got the FTi back from the shop. I was a little irked that they used a standard .350 ferrule rather than the Callaway one and left a lot of residue from grip tape glue on the head... they've done far worse in the past though.

I got on the SS radar only with it, no launch monitor availability this time unfortunately. I got loose and hit 109 and never went below. Got up to 112 about 8-10 times in a row but couldn't get any more. I took about 3dozen swings and all were between 109-112. I threw a strip of imapact tape on it. Hitting it a little inside of center but just high of center, not bad. I put some lead tape on it when I got home, in the past with several other drivers, the little added headweight got me out further on the face, so we'll see.

Really have high hopes as I was hitting it in the same spot with the same SS very consistantly. Feels very good, liking the feel of this shaft so far. I swear I could hear it taunting me to go at it harder...

Here's a few pics and my irons and putter I regripped as well.

Really liking these new grips, unfortunately one was split so the 3i didn't get done

One or the other... notice the size of the FTi compared to the 400cc QuadTP, never dawned on me but that's one of the reasons I liked it, hate big heads.

Those are Crossline cords with the blue caps. I'm really liking them. I gotta find a single for the 3i now though, one of them had a little split in it. I should send it back I guess but that place is going out of business. Probably would cost more to ship it back to them than it's worth anyway.

I called dibs when I told Ez to buy the thing.

But then he went out and smoked it and ruined my plans.

I'm guessing he kills that thing.

Go out to the range, close your eyes and swing as hard as you can with it. Then, look in the middle of the fairway, cuz that's where your ball is.

(Now, where in any of that did I say look at the club? )

The FTi isn't in Ez's sig. I thought the Tour models were for single digit cappers (sorry Ez) Maybe 8.5 was a bit too much to handle??? I can see this stick taking a trip to

I haven't even hit it outside yet. The QuadTP has to be beaten to come out of the sig.. The Hibore XL was beaten down by it already.
