For 2007, Callaway Golf has introduced three new drivers: Fusion FT-i, Fusion FT-5 and Big Bertha 460. This is no surprise as all golf manufacturers must keep inventing new driver styles and technology advancements to stay competitive. Below you will find great choices of Callaway clone drivers for 2007.
The Callaway Fusion FT-i Driver uses patented Fusion Technology which fuses titanium and a carbon composite material together to redistribute weight in the clubhead. This moves weight away from the center of gravity. Moving weight away from the center of gravity results in a driver with increased stability that maximizes distance and increases accuracy. This driver is the choice of golf Legend Gary Player.
The following drivers offer you great alternatives to the Callaway Fusion FT-i Driver at a fraction of the price:
Integra I-Drive Square Driver -- The square head design reduces twisting during off center hits and enlarges the hitting area which in turn increases forgiveness.
Integra SoooLong Quadradic Driver -- The technology in this driver moves weight further back on the driver and more towards the heel and toe resulting in the square shape.
Acer XP Mantara Titanium Driver -- This driver is designed to be very stable due to its square shape which moves the weight away from the center of gravity which results in exceptional control.
The Callaway Fusion FT-5 Driver also uses patented Fusion Technology that creates discretionary weight which produces increased distance and accuracy. This is the driver Phil Mickelson and Charles Howell III are using to get off to such a great start to the 2007 season.
Another great choice that fuses titanium and composite materials together and can save you money is:
Acer XP Comp Titanium Driver -- In this driver they have replaced the heavier titanium on the crown with lightweight carbon graphite. This results in a lower center of gravity and higher launch angles.
The Callaway Big Bertha 460 Driver is an all titanium driver designed with a shape close to the limits for width and length. This shape enables the incorporation of a 460cc head with a shallower face and flatter shape to produce the highest moment of inertia in any Callaway all titanium head.
Other great all titanium Callaway driver clones include the following:
Big Power 460cc Driver -- This large 460cc head stretches titanium for maximum forgiveness and balance with a shallower face and flatter crown.
Big Balance 460cc Driver -- This is a 460cc forged titanium head constructed with a slightly more elongated shape which offers even more forgiveness and control.
These are a few of the many Callaway clone golf clubs on the market today. With so many alternatives to choosing higher priced brand name clubs, considering clone golf clubs makes a lot of sense for many golfers.
This is the best approach to obtain high quality clubs that are right for you personally. It is also the best way for most golfers to improve their games. The cost savings you would achieve in the other approaches will be gone, but you will have high quality clone golf clubs that fit your swing. Do top PGA Tour players use off-the-shelf standard clubs? Not on your life. Even though they endorse certain brands and use clubs from their sponsors, those clubs have been modified and customized for each player. If the best players in the world need to have their clubs customized for their individual swings, wouldn't it benefit you as well, whose swing is less perfect? If you have a set of clubs made by a professional club maker/fitter who is certified by PCS (the Professional Clubmaker's Society- try to find a PCS Class A clubmaker) or the GCA (Golf Clubmaker's Assoc.), you will receive a set of clubs that will get everything possible out of your game. If this approach is beyond the means of your budget, it is possible to do a club fitting on-line. If you can find a professional accredited clubmaker from one of the two professional organizations mentioned above who offers on-line fitting and clubmaking services, that solution would be your best bet. To identify such a person, look on the web site of the PCA.
Some Basics Before Buying Clubs
Your professional club maker will collect a certain amount of data before choosing the components to make your clone golf clubs, and you should know this information even if you buy a set of standard, off-the-shelf clubs. He'll measure your swing speed with both a driver and five iron. He'll measure the distance from the floor to the top of our wrist to determine the proper length for your clubs (most standard clubs are too long). He will observe your swing and determine the proper loft for your driver and other clubs (most golfers use a driver with too little loft). He'll determine if you normally slice or fade the ball and make necessary adjustments in the club face settings. He'll ensure you have the proper lie angle on your irons, which can dramatically improve accuracy. In all there are more than two dozen adjustments a club maker can vary to optimize clubs for your swing, although of course some are more important than others.
Conclusion
You can approach procuring a set of clone golf clubs in three ways. You can simply find a web site that sells cheap clones, you can purchase quality components and assemble them yourself, or you can go to a certified professional club maker/fitter and get the best set possible for your game. Even if you can't afford the latter approach, you should at least know your swing speeds in order to choose proper shafts, and you should get clubs that are the proper length and correct loft for your size and swing. In addition, I would highly recommend that anyone looking to invest in a new set of golf clubs read Tom Wishon's book, ?The Search for the Perfect Golf Club?.
