Review On Callaway FT Irons

Multi-material construction of the Callaway FT Irons allows for premium performance. The Tunite cradle has been optimized with the addition of Extreme Notch Weighting. An astounding 80 percent of the clubhead's weight is in the extreme perimeter for a higher MOI (moment of inertia) and enhanced stability and forgiveness. The lightweight hot titanium face produces fast ball speeds and the TPU SenSert decreases vibration, creating an incredibly solid feel.

With regards to the spin that you can generate, the shorter irons do give you very good control. Generally most approach shots with the shoter FT Iron Set stop and settle around about the area they land, even on firmer greens. The longer Callaway FT Irons admittedly did release abit more than what was wanted on occasion. However most good, capable players should still be able to hit decent approach shots quite regularly, once they are used to the clubs.

Comparison Shopping

In comparing Callaway FT irons to other game-improvement irons on the market, most players find the line's wide sole and cavity back to be consistent with other premium clubs. Novice and intermediate players enjoy the strong lofts and soft feel from a variety of lines. While some choose to graduate to clubs designed for better players after a season or two using FT irons, others find that they are forgiving and worth hanging onto, especially at the slightly hefty price.
