The FT-3 felt like it had a heavier clubhead which is exactly what I like. They also had two very distinct sounds...the FT-3 to me didn't have a muffled, towel in a coke can sound...just a different one altogether. After hitting it about 5 times, I didn't even notice the sound b/c I was too busy watching the ball flight in satisfaction. For me the FT-3 was just a smoother all-around club than the X460. I was doing all I could to convince myself to save the extra money and go with the X460, but hitting them back to back, I couldn't bring myself to like the X460 over the FT-3. If I was to rank them I would have gone,

FT-3
X460
TM R7 460

And one can't say I'm biased b/c I have an R7 and was looking forward to either the 460 or 425. I just wanted to mess around with a few other manuf. to make sure those were the best choices and found out for me, there is a better one out there. On the monitor, the FT-3 gave me the same mph as the SQ, TM 460, and slightly more than the X460. I also liked the way I was able to control the ball with either a slight fade or draw/straight. With the TM b/c of the closed face, it just gave me that feeling of I might hook this thing. The X460 was almost the same way as the TM but not as bad. The biggest difference I noticed between the X460 and the FT-3 was the fact that mishits on the FT-3 still go in the air and went straight or slightly on way or another. Mishits with the X460 were about 20-40yards shorter and varied offline farther.
