Help FT-i users.

We all have heard great things about the Ft-i and how straight it is, but does anybody feel they are severaly penalized for miss hits.

Not me. There's only one shot that I hit just terribly with it. The snap hook. But thats every driver I've ever picked up.

I agree.

You can still slice/hook any driver. But this helps with the square face mishits. And distance is very, very big with this thing.

The stock Speeder is the downfall on the FT-i, IMO.

Great stick. It beat out 5 other contenders for bag time.

Any ideas what an FT-I should go for on Ebay?

No driver will stop snap hooks unless its really offset open (a lot of pro's do this). Even still....if you stop turning through the shot it will go left.

Misshits with a square driver go much farther then misshits with normal drivers. That's the whole idea....

I got mine delivered on the 'Bay for $205 with an aftermarket Fuji in it.

YMMV.

The only shot that I fight with this is the snaphooks and a case of the lefts. I don't know if it's my swing or the club as it only happens later in the round. I just think it's too light and when I finally "get loose" it gets inconsistent a little.

I haven't tinkered with it only because even with its downfalls, it's still good enough.

WBL your Sumo2 is really easy to hit too. I was hitting that thing straight all day at the range. Just looks fricken huge though and hollow sound.
