Q
I currently play with the Callaway FT-i driver (10 degree, Draw), but want to see what the IQ driver will do. Can I buy the IQ driver with a neutral face (10 degrees, stiff)? Thanks
A
The FT-Iq is not offered with weight bias as the original FT-i was. All FT-Iq are neutral weighted.
Q
I currently hit two older Callaway Drivers, both are low on the loft. One is ERC II, 7 degree loft and a system 50 Strong Ultralight shaft and the other a Great Big Bertha Warbird with 6.5 degree loft

I have the FTi 2 year old version with a Fujikura regular flex shaft. I hit the ball between 225-250 yards. However, my 3 wood and 7 wood have Fujikura stiff flex shafts. I hit the 3 about 225 and the

It couldnt hurt. If you are overpowering your shaft you will notice adverse effects at times.
Q
My avg club head swing speed is about 90 to 100 and distance about 200 to 230m. What would be the best Shaft Flex for me
A
Hi, thanks for your inquiry. For a mid to higher swing speed, such as yourself, I would recommend a stiff flex. - Parker

Hello,
I understand most drivers come in a 10.5 and 9.5 degree loft. I use a 10.5. When teeing off, my ball usually has a lot of loft and goes really high in the air, should I switch to a 9.5 degree
A
Thank you for your question.
Is it worth testing out? Absolutely. Will the 9.5 give you a more penetrating ball flight is the question. Most golfers would kill to have more hang time but I know how you feel. I was in the same boat at one time and tested different lofts much like you. I ended up staying with the higher loft though. I would test it prior to officially making a move.
Play Well,
Johnny

The higher loft will also be more controllable of the tee..

If you are not a low handicap golfer, where you play can make a lot of difference in driver loft choices. In the northern US. especially on the plains, wind can be a huge factor in driver loft effect. We have 160 yd par 3's where 10/12 handicap golfers are using drivers straight into a 35 mph wind. I use a 9.5 TM Burner draw. But I have a Titlist 10.5 I take to Phoenix (low or no wind) and FL (tree lined courses). High trajectory on windy links courses can really beat you up with a high loft. //

In general, the 9.5 degree will tend to give a lower ball flight. However, the shaft also contributes to launch angle. Find a Golf shop that has a simulator that can measure your swing path, launch angle, club-head speed, ball speed, spin and distance. With this information, your Pro can tell you if you need a different club, or just a new shaft.
Q
my avg swing speed is about 80 to 90 . what would be the best Shaft Flex for me
A
Thank you for your question.
You would fall in the 'Regular' flex category based upon your swing speed.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,
Johnny
A
You're definitely a regular flex
Senior flex starts from 70-80
Regular is from 80 to about 100
Stiff 100 to 115ish
X-stiff 115+
A
My driver swing speed is 90mph, straight ball flight, and using the Burner driver, I need a stiff shaft. With the regular I do not have the same control as with the stiff shaft and distance is almost identical. Try one out on a range or on a monitor. Swing speeds do not always reflect the correct shaft for your swing. It's only a generic number but is a good starting point.
Q
I have used the YS-6 shaft in the 905T and the FT-i with pretty good success. Can you name me a couple other shafts that you think would give me the same "feel" and control? Thanks.
A
Thank you for your inquiry. There are a few other brands that have similar weight and launch profiles of the Graphite Design YS series. You should notice that the Aldila NVS 65, the Graphalloy ProLaunch 65, the UST V2 67, and the Fujikura E360 are all very comparable.
A
i have the graphalloy prolaunch 65 and it works great!is is very flexible.
Q
Wich is the differente betwen Diablo driver anf Ft I q, is significatly too much the Ft IQ? 10 Neutral stiff
A
Thank you for your question.
Well, the big difference is the obvious price. But from a players perspective the Diablo, while it is good, does not offer the playability of the higher end Callaway drivers. The FTiQ is made to go straight, period. From the design of the clubhead to the upgrade shaft it's the rolls royce of their driver line. If you want to hit the ball straight the FTiq is the way to go.
Thanks,
Johnny
Q
i am 74yrs old am thinking about a fti callaway driver. my swing speed is about 88 mph. i have lost a lot of my flexibility due to cancer. do u think i should get a senior shaft or do callaway does no
A
Thank you for your question Jerry.
At 88mph you fall inbetween a senior and a regular flex. But if you've lost flexibility you may be much better suited for the senior flex.
I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Johnny
Q
I currently have a FT-5 stiff shaft 9 deg.loft and consistantly hit it toooo high. Should I consider the tour club FT-IQ 8.5 loft?
A
Thank you for your question.
If you're hitting a 9 Degree too high that rare! I would have no hesitation towards hitting an IQ Tour 8.5 Degree. It should help your trajectory.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Play Well,
Johnny
Q
My avg club speed was measured to be 108 mph , should I be looking at a extra stiff shaft
A
That clubhead speed is considered to be high enough for an extra stiff. Typically speaking, anyone who can swing their driver 105+ should be in extra stiff.
Q
which shaft is better between regular and stiff
A
Great Question. Everything is subjective to your swing though. Do you tend to swing slower or more quickly? The rule of thumb is that if your swing speed is slower than 95mph then you should probably get a regular flex driver and if your swing is over 100mph then you should probably get a stiff flex driver. That leaves a little grey area that you from 95 to 100 where you can use either flex.
I hope this helps.
