Callaway's high-performance FT irons are ideal for mid to low handicap players. |
The FT irons are the latest evolution of Fusion Technology, a multi-material process that gives Callaway Golf engineers the utmost freedom of design. Fusion Technology follows a philosophy called Complete Inertial Design (CID), in which Callaway engineers considered all of the club's characteristics collectively and created a design that balances those characteristics while optimizing performance. The key to CID is to avoid focusing on one characteristic at the expense of the club's overall performance. One major element of CID, for example, is to increase the stability of the clubhead, which is measured in terms of MOI. By raising the MOI on both the vertical and horizontal axes, and by positioning the weight to the perimeter of the clubhead, Callaway engineers were able to add stability to balls struck around the edges of the clubface. And because the clubhead rotates less during these swings, golfers lose less ball speed--helping the ball travel longer distances--and the ball goes straighter on off-center hits.
Fusion Technology irons also feature Tunite Alloy in the club cradle. The metal--newly created by Callaway Golf metallurgists--weighs approximately 20 percent more than stainless steel and is twice the density of titanium. This high-density alloy lets Callaway engineers move an astounding 80 percent of the clubhead's total weight to the extreme perimeter, creating a higher MOI for outstanding forgiveness. Engineers also added a TPU Sensert to improve the feel and create crisp, responsive acoustics. The TPU insert, a multi-piece injection-molded thermoplastic urethane layer that sits snugly behind the clubface, is tuned to the clubface to reduce vibration at impact. The final element of Fusion Technology is the OptiFit Weighting System, which lets golfers customize a club to suit their specific swings by offering three center of gravity (CG) locations in most lofts: draw, to promote a draw or reduce a slice/fade; neutral, for maximum workability; or fade, to promote a fade or reduce a hook/draw. This discretionary weight in the clubhead is attained through the use of a carbon composite body.
Callaway's patented Tunite Alloy cradle creates a higher moment of inertia (MOI), while the TPU Sensert improves feel. |
