What do you want from your driver? If you're like most golfers, you want a long, straight drive that splits the middle of the fairway. No need to think, just pick a target and swing away. Enter the FT-iQ driver, the longest and straightest driver that Callaway has ever created. Using technologies traditionally found in Stealth Bombers and Formula 1 racecars, the engineers at Callaway Golf created a driver with a single goal in mind: long bombs down the middle. The FT-iQ driver starts with a refined head shape that's built to increase the moment of inertia (MOI) at impact, giving you unprecedented accuracy off the tee. Golfers can also turbo-charge their tee shots thanks to the Hyperbolic Face Technology, which raises ball speeds across the entire face to promote added distance. And golfers will love the exclusive Fubuki shaft from Mitsubishi Rayon, which adds to the driver's incredible feel and performance.



The FT-iQ is Callaway's longest and straightest driver.
Explaining Callaway Golf Technologies
Callaway Golf makes unique use of carbon composite material in the body of Fusion Technology drivers. The idea behind the technology--which took 10 years of research to perfect--has always been to move weight from areas of the clubhead where it's less useful to where it's needed most. This philosophy allowed Callaway engineers to precisely position the center of gravity (CG) on the perimeter, helping increase stability on off-center hits and generate the straightest drives possible. The club's refined head shape, meanwhile, encourages the MOI, CG, face height, and face thickness to all perform at their peak levels, providing premium distance, unprecedented forgiveness, and a straighter ball flight off the tee.

The club also sports Hyperbolic Face Technology, which represents Callaway's commitment to setting a standard in the all-titanium driver market. Three years in the making, Hyperbolic Face Technology redefines the speed at which golf balls leave the clubface by strategically re-shaping the face with a hyperbolic curve. This dramatically improves the impact efficiency and produces a larger effective hitting area, in turn generating higher ball speeds across the entire face. And as a bonus, the FT-iQ includes strategically placed external weighting on the rear corners, allowing golfers to add draw weights to minimize fades and slices.

About the FT-iQ Driver
Callaway sells a series of FT-iQ drivers, each of which is equipped with an exclusive ultra-premium Mitsubishi Rayon Fubuki shaft. Designed using Modulus Differential Technology (MDT), the shafts guarantee tour-level high-launch and low-spin performance. The FT-iQ drivers include lofts that range from 9 degrees to 13 degrees, with flex options that include regular, stiff, and senior.
