The Callaway FT-i driver represents a specific model within the larger category of golf clubs designed for tee shots. Characterized by its square clubhead shape, this club aimed to increase forgiveness and improve accuracy for golfers. This design was particularly notable for its departure from the traditional teardrop-shaped driver head.
This club’s unconventional design sought to address common challenges faced by golfers, particularly those struggling with off-center hits. The increased moment of inertia resulting from the square head design theoretically minimized the negative impact of such mishits on distance and direction. Launched during a period of significant technological advancement in golf equipment, this model marked a distinct step towards game improvement technology. It appealed to a wide range of players, from high-handicap amateurs seeking more consistency to professionals experimenting with new designs.
