Callaway FTi Shockwave with 8.5 degree, Pershing shaft

[gracethedog48]

Last year was my 1st season with my 11 degree FT-i driver. initially it took away a little distance, but it was straight every time, but now my distance is back. First full round with it I hit 11 of 14 fairways! Something I'd never done before(5 was my best prior). One of my last rounds last year I was hitting it around 220-240 consistantly and maxed out at 297. I still slice and hook from time to time, but more often than not it's dead straight. I love this club! Good video....nice swing!

[rivlake]

Depends on your swing speed. Slower speed (under 100mph) 13 degree will be better. Over 100mph, 9 degree would be better.

[elanlover94]

i have the same driver but its 13 degrees..say i hit a good drive with a 13, and a 9 degree driver..how big of a difference in distance will it make?

[TasteMy3h]

shitty course

[rivlake]

About a year or so ago I traded my FTi head for a FT5 head. Actually has more distance than the FTi. I am planning on getting the new FTiZ head in March. Will post a video of the FT5 swing soon and again with the FTiZ when it becomes available.

[mtfm13]

the ft-iz is insane, i can hit the fairway 16 out of 18 times and hit it 270-285 consistently

[kukke25]

sick

[RORYALGATE]

Good strike mate....those drivers are just so ugly...but if it works who care!!!

Well done mate!!!

[SuperChevy446]

sounds awesome

[Mrmetal770]

sounds like a nike

[micklad11]

He said in the description that it was a 316 yard par4 and he drove the green , i am getting my FT5 today and i am not overly keen on the square look but you certainly nailed that , nice one .

[peaceizcool]

how far was that drive, what course were u on? Awesome video!

[golfer393]

Waggle... waggle... waggle. Then an over the top cast the produces a weak fade.

[qbb01]

Shutup, casting will not give you that amount of clubhead speed. The ball went in line with his shoulders, pretty sure that not over the top. It's better to have a closed stance on the driver.

[rivlake]

First of all, only a 14 year old uses the word "dong", secondly, as soon as you can spell the word golf, then you can make comments on someone's swing. Thank for playing!

[1dezarae]

Quit waggling that thing already and hit it! I hate people that waggle their club like they are playing with their dongs.

[kickassproductions9]

Talk about a boom! check out my swing with the Ap2's

[dnd16]

shockwave? i think thats dirt

[rivlake]

Actually, some of it is grass shavings, some is the grass. But the effect was pretty cool. It does show how much air is moved by the FTi clubhead. I actually traded it in on an FT5 head with an Nrage shaft from Aggressive Golf. Tipped to between an X and XX. Great shaft and has made the distance better with less effort.

[gmezt]

try to roughly have a hands width between your body, and the butt end of the grip.

[shjanevanwyk]

ugliest driver in the world.. good shot though

[co96]

lot of power in that ball !! nicely done ..

try standing bit more straight up

[bubblegum297]

nice drive dude. try to bring the club into your body more on the backswing to form and arch. It'll feel odd at first but it makes an ark formation which gives better contact and acuracy on the ball.

[btag4]

hey man nice drive. i just got this driver and the sound is incredible. im not really used to it yet. what loft do you have on yours? i got the 9 degree

[btag4]

nevermind, i just read the description lol

[zxfvxbdfcvfbgcgfdxvs]

funny little guy at the end

[rivlake]

WOW! I did not know that Ms. Manners cared about golf and posture! Thank you Ms. Manners! I will try to sit up straight in my chair and everything!

[halo2prolegit38]

u have no posture

[rivlake]

Posture? One response: What?

[elgolfhombre]

Touché with the "response."

The spine and shaft don't quite form a right angle. And yes, I realize I don't have my swing posted, so for all you know I could be a hypocrite. Perhaps I should recant, mate?

[elgolfhombre]

One word: posture.

[gsclelo]

man you give a shit load of advice, post your amazing swing for us all to see, maybe every golfer on youtube can learn from your greatness

[gtp20003]

try brush tees i think your shot would be alot better distance, thats what i use for my ping rapture

[rivlake]

Thanks for the advice, but if I had hit it any further, I would have been over the green. :) I have a friend of mine that uses those, but I haven't tried them because I am not sure they are PGA legal.

[bumblesbounce54321]

the effect a tee has on a club is the same effect a fly has on a car on the freeway, brush tees DO NOT make a difference. its all mental, if you think your going to hit it good then you do!

[gtp20003]

how do you know ITS ALL MENTAL you dont. brush tees are proven to give you a extra 10- 15 yards

[bumblesbounce54321]

no they are not

[neosquid]

A brush tee has the same effect on a drive as a regular tee. Nothing.

The biggest influence a tee has on a drive is the height as which its set.

The best part of the brush tee's is that you can get it to the exact same height every time vs. just guessing with a regular tee.

Also, show me there it is a proven fact that using a brush tee gives someone a 10-15 yard longer drive.

[MENACER321]

i had brush tees and first of all they are overpriced and you do hit better the first few times (might just have been me) but slicing is more of a problem but really they are just a rip of

[brown547]

Brush tees are just a marketing ploy to psychologically convice hackers and slicers that the tee is a factor, but as long as it maintains the height of the ball that's all that matters.

[rivlake]

Actually, the ball was tee'd up so high that it appears to be 4 or 5 inches father forward. I actually was within the markers, but it looks like I wasn't! I play with a guy from CA that will break my kneecaps, especially if we are gambling, if I tee off in front of the markers.  I thought someone would see that. Thanks!!

[estray346]

your cheeting! your in front of the tee marks! no, just kidding. nice one man. and the shock wave is SICK.
