Issue 249 of TG saw the Fairway Wood test. The Gear team took the pick of the bunch out with them to see how they faired. Included in this was the Callaway FT-i Squareway. Watch this video review to see what they thought.
This neat-looking fairway wood uses a strategic blend of steel and tungsten — the former comprising the body and face, and the latter large elements of the sole where its heavier weight has been carefully positioned to optimise trajectory and shot-shaping potential.
Modified X-Sole Design – The Modified X-Sole Design provides versatile turf interaction, cutting through thick rough or gliding smoothly over tight fairways. It also lowers the leading edge to help get the ball in the air more efficiently.
New head shape – The slightly larger head shape raises the Moment of Inertia (MOI) and is designed to appeal to a wider range of players. The slightly deeper face increases the effective hitting area and provides confidence at address.
Increased Perimeter Weighting – Strategically positioned internal weighting provides a high MOI for superior stability on miss-hits and also optimizes ball flight trajectories from the fairway or the tee.
Callaway Golf Core Technologies – VFT Technology maximizes ball speed and perimeter weighting for more distance and forgiveness; S2H2 increases discretionary weight by removing it from the hosel and repositioning it in the perimeter of the clubhead.
Ultra-Thin VFT Face Creates hotter ball speeds across the entire face for longer, more consistent shots.
Extreme Perimeter Weighting Callaway¿s highest MOI ever in a fairway wood dramatically improves accuracy.
Center of Gravity Optimization Standard models feature the deepest center of gravity of any fairway wood Callaway for high trajectories. The Tour models have the lowest, shallowest CG of any Callaway fairway wood for penetrating trajectories.
Looks and Performance for Every Player Standard models have slightly larger clubheads and proven Callaway core technologies. Tour models have full hosels, less face progression and smaller, more conventional head shapes.
