'WORKS WELL FOR ME '
Strengths:
Accuracy of the tee
i think it looks good
It just makes me drive straight down the middle and confident now to just hit through the ball
Weaknesses:
The only real issue for me is the price most will have to pay
Overall:
I managed to pick mine up for £150 new and yes it was the real thing got it checked out by my pro before i bought it ,so there are bargains out there if you look hard.as for performance it has transformed my driving i hit the ball well but for some reason always have one o b each round.the fti has stop this may not be any longer than my R7 but more easy to keep it on the short stuff.my father took it today and ended up using it for the full round he could'nt believe how it just went straight for the full round,he's got a r7 superquad said he may now change

'OVERPRICED, OVERHYPED.'
Strengths:
oh yes this driver works fine for all handicaps
Weaknesses:
some question the looks
Overall:
check out the Nickent 3ds sq head driver - if it's availble in the UK. It's all American made and put together, even the shaft is American.
The head is not deep, but wider, allowing minimum tweaking for draw or fade. However it's strenths are in a straight penetrating drive, with amazing distance.I spent half a day with the FT-i, R7 460 & 425 and various others and come to the conclusion that not only the head is good but this shaft is great

'SQUARE, NOT SUMO!'
Strengths:
ULTRA forgiving
Long, straight, great shaft
Weaknesses:
Pricey
Overall:
Better than all the best of the market - sumo2,sumo,superquad,cobra ld. However cleveland xl gave it a run for its money! If you don't like the fti, try the cleveland xl.
Most forgiving club on the market and great noise!

'COST FAR OUTWEIGHS ANY ADVANTAGES IT GIVES.'
Strengths:
Great to line up, not too bad to look at either. Shaft felt OK, and kept the ball low too.
Weaknesses:
Doesn't solve everyones problems, you must still swing the club with some consistency to get results. Unfortunately it simply wasn't the club for me. The purchase costs are just silly money and I can't justify the cost for any possible advantages it could bring.
Overall:
Just nothing in it for me to keep. Not straight (even when I was swinging good), and not long enough to justify the weakness.

'BRILLIANT SO FAR'
Strengths:
I am hitting the ball Straight again.
Weaknesses:
None so far, apart from the crap cover they give you, NO Sock on it.
Overall:
I got the club a few weeks ago, and I like it, first week was a bit of a learning curve. Now I have found the correct tee off height I am pleased, Its a lot lower tee off than my Sasquatch, very low down really for a driver, but the face is a lot smaller than most drivers these days. I have hit shots further than before because my old drivers sliced the ball.(I did really) I know its down to the swing, but if you cannot sort that swing out then this club can, It has for me. I am really pleased with it. I birdied 2 holes that I have only ever parred before today, that was down to the distance of this club for sure.
