Callaway FT Irons Review

For accomplished golfers, the FT Irons are a perfect blend of a more traditional look than Callaway has offered in the past yet still deliver maximum forgiveness. Callaway's improved clubhead design boasts a thinner top line and is less offset than other models, translating to a better visual effect upon address. The FT Irons' lightweight titanium face increases the accuracy of mis-hits and improves overall consistency.

The FT series is a superior game-improvement iron but might prove too costly for recreational golfers, particularly beginners. From a technology standpoint, the FT Irons often include overkill for mid- to high-handicappers. Meanwhile, more advanced players will likely seek an iron with less cavity back in order to maintain the ability to work the ball. Additionally, this is a cast built iron opposed to forged build, which increases responsiveness.

Although the FT Irons will come at a premium cost ($1,099 steel shafts, $1,299 graphite), they fit a wide variety of players ranging from low to high handicappers. While they don't excel in feel, the FT Irons do offer tremendous forgiveness for a relatively high-performing iron.
