THAT THING IS DEAD SEXY!!!























J/k That has gotta be on the list of worst looking clubs ever!! Are people going to really start using this new "SQUARE" style driver? I mean, even if it did give me 10 extra yards NO F'IN WAY-

You're damn right they will. Golfers are fickle people. How many guys go out and buy new drivers even when they're smoking their current one? It happens all the time.

Will this fly? I doubt it, but people will buy it. According to Callaway, this is the most forgiving Callaway driver of all time, with nearly 90% of the face being sweet spot. Time will tell, I guess.

^ I actually put my ping G5 away for this Callaway FT3 It just goes way straighter. I feel I am loosing about 10 - 15 yards with the callaway but man when I get it good it feels better than the callaway and goes about the same distance. I think the stock NVS (orange one) has to high of a kick point for me. I have a steap swing plane so sometime I get under it and hit it like a high PW.. O well.

Uh, oh. Looks like we'll all be playing square driver's in the next few years. That's all that will be left. Show me 290, no more than 10 yds. offine, lay into it with 115mph. every time and I don't care what it looks like. The head may be square but if it puts a crapload of circles on my card......

I think the Ping G5, Launcher Comp, Titleist 905 series, Cally X406 are all really nice looking drivers (There are others too)... The Fusion is not. But if it hit the ball the straightest I might buy it. TM's are not on my list though. The HiBore is not also.

I can't remember the last time I hit a perfect shot and thought, "MAN! I wish my clubs looked cooler!" Or the last time I hit a crap shot and thought, "Oh well. At least my clubs are 'da bomb!"

I don't really care what it looks like. When I put the clubs in the back of the 350z, I remember where looks are important to me.

I'm looking for a LOOOOONNNNNGGGG driver right now because I'm sick of my Deep Red Tour. If the perfect club for me was square, I'd pimp it.

I can see advantages to a sqaure driver. Easier to align your clubhead to your target line and stance. Should be cheaper/easier to manufacture if your not welding curved shapes which should bring the cost down a bit, but you know it will come out at a super premium price because its different.

Function over fashion. It will be intersting to see how it sells. Of course, put it a Pro's hands in a major and they win, they will sell regardless of how well they play or look.

I'd play it over the Sasquatch any day, besides, it will spend 99.9% of it's life in a sock!
