Callaway FT-9 Tour Driver Review - 2009
Callaway has introduced the FT-9, a driver that is great for anyone to use and it has been built using Fusion technology. You will find it includes a MR Fubuki shaft and you may pick it up in draw, neutral or tour styles.
The Fusion Technology is a nice way of saying the weight has been positioned to the extreme perimeters. This has been done by web weighting and allows a greater MOI. It offers a traditional shape with a composite body, and is said to have an improved sound than the previous versions.
Key points to remember:
- Traditional Shape with Composite Body
- Fusion Technology
- Web Weighting
- Greater MOI (moment of inertia)
Here is a video of what PGA TOUR golfer Phil Mickelson carries in his golf bag. If you watch around the 45 second mark he will show you that he uses this same FT-9 driver and that it has fixed his game where he tends to shoot towards the left.
The Callaway FT-9 driver is a perfect tour driver designed by Callaway after its older FT-5 driver. With the said improvements over the past designs, this should prove to be a valuable asset.

Callaway’s Description of the 2009 Callaway FT-9 Drivers:
Fade it. Draw it. Or take it over the trees. If you’ve got the creativity in your game to imagine golf’s most incredible tee shots, the new FT-9 Driver is made just for you. Callaway Golf engineers were able to expand on the success of the FT-5 and surpass expectations with the FT-9 Driver. With the addition of Hyperbolic Face Technology, ball speeds across the entire face have been dramatically improved to generate even more distance off the tee. Golfers will have the option to choose Draw or Neutral configurations with the help of external web weighting that helps precisely position the CG to promote the desired trajectory and ball flight for the desired shot shape.
