I finally got the FT-3 via FedEx today. 8.5 Tour with NV 65 Stiff. Went out to hit some balls and walked 18 at a local course.
So far I am liking the club, alot easier to hit than my 7.5 975D, feels like I didn't need to put in as much effort into hitting the ball. :tup:
When I catch it fairly good it would go about 15-20 yards further than the 975D and slight mis-hits would go about same distance as 975D. On hole 13 I hit a 328 yards drive (408 yards hole and I had 80 yards left), the next hole 14 I hit it 326 yard (396 yards and I had 70 yards), and it didn't even feel like I caught it completely pured. Rest of the holes I was all over the place so I didn't keep track of distance. (w00t)
I like the sound of the club, I don't really understand what's the big deal that people make of it. Different and unique, something different from the typical PING! or KANG! for a change.
What I don't like about the club is the shaft, Aldila NV 65 Stiff. The shaft was too weak for me :mad:, I was all over the place today left and right, I felt alot of movement with the clubhead during the downswing compared to the 975D with Grafalloy Prolite. It also launched alot higher compared to the 975D, although it didn't balloon and it seemed to spin alot less (I noticed more roll after landing versus the 975D), I still feel it launches too high for me.
