Well, the time has come to where I have mentally prepared myself to let go of an old friend. We have had a some great times together and some rough patches, but it has become apparent that a new partner might improve my game... Asta la viesta Driver....

I was at the local driving range, and had a salesperson shove a club at me to try out. He said that he picked up 20 meters by switching to the driver..

I was sceptical to say the least, so I asked him to give me 3 more name brand drivers to compare it to and a bucket of balls.

Pulled out my driver hit three shots, 2 with a slight fade 1 with a draw--all about 280 meters.

Hit the new Callaway ft-5 3 times. All the shots had a slight draw. All the shots were longer, one shot was WAY LONGER... I had to surpress a WOW!

Hit the other clubs, and some of them I hated....

Has anyone used the Callaway fitting system? Is it worthwhile to go to a shop and get on a swing monitor and try different shafts, or just buy the club that worked best for me???

Are there other clubs that someone would like to suggest that I hit if I liked the FT-5?

Just thought that I would check, before I spend some serious money.
