New for 2010, is the low spinning tour driver, the FT Tour which is due for launch in the New Year. This driver is a move back to a more traditional pear shaped design, with a smaller 430cc head size. The Diablo range of clubs also revamped with the introduction of the Diablo Edge range, including tour and standard drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons. Again, especially in the drivers the head shape has become more traditional. On the quirky size of things, the new FT-IZ Product range of woods forms the FT-IQ (square) driver’s replacement. Square is no more in the Callaway range, but with the 75% of the weight at each extremity, its tagline of high MOI basically encourages more stability.
From what we saw on the day it looks like a good choice of club, in particular for the high handicapper. Also on show was a new putter from Odyssey with interchangeable weights which makes it feel easy to stroke and the ball seemed to roll much better with the heavier weights.
