Explaining I-Mix Technology
Clubheads with I-Mix technology bear Callaway's signature titanium cup face. But inside the hosel, the company added a threaded tri-lobular dock that disperses multi-directional torsion loads with ease. What does this mean in plain English? It means the technology has been exhaustively tested, and the I-Mix connection just won't budge. This interchangeable design lets you create a number of variations for your new driver, such as adding loft to produce more carry in wet conditions, or subtracting loft to encourage a more penetrating ball flight. You can also choose draw or neutral clubhead configurations to support your shot-shaping strategy.
Overall, I-Mix clubheads look, feel, and play just like their traditionally assembled counterparts, and each is made with the same quality and care you expect from Callaway Golf. In fact, players who tested I-Mix clubs described them as "indistinguishable" from traditional clubs. Among the clubhead choices are a variety of Fusion Technology clubs--including the FT-iQ and the FT-9--that are shaped for high moment of inertia (MOI) and unparalleled resistance to twisting.
Isolate the Shaft Advantage
Made with precision-milled, aerospace-grade aluminum and titanium, the I-Mix shaft tip is an engineering wonder. The first thing you'll notice about the I-Mix shaft tip is the hard-anodized tri-lobular endcap, which produces an unbeatable taper-lock force when connected to an I-Mix clubhead. The I-Mix wrench, meanwhile, boasts an ergonomically designed handle and cast-aluminum teeth, allowing you to deliver precisely 60 inch-pounds of torque to create your I-Mix connection. Just line it up, give it a few turns, and listen for the click. The shaft even includes a red window indicator so you'll when you're ready to play. Overall, the I-Mix line offers shafts from the most-respected and sought-after shaft manufacturers in the marketplace, including Adila, Fujikura, Grafalloy, Graphite Design, Mitsubishi Rayon, and UST. With more than 70 shafts to choose from, your options are endless.
Introducing the I-Mix FT-9 Driver Head
This particular clubhead--the FT-9 driver head--was built using Callaway's Fusion Technology, which combines a carbon composite body with a titanium face cup. This allows Callaway to precisely position the center of gravity in one of three different configurations: draw, neutral, or fade. As a result, golfers can choose a weight configuration that best suits their swing styles. This club, for instance, comes in a draw configuration, making it a good choice for golfers who hit natural slices or fades. The clubhead is also outfitted with Callaway's Hyperbolic Face Technology, a cutting-edge face design that dramatically improves impact efficiency and produces a larger effective hitting area. This, in turn, generates higher ball speeds across the entire face, generating significant distance gains on off-center hits in addition to perfectly struck shots. Best of all, the FT-9 clubhead is compatible with any of the I-Mix shafts, letting you optimize your FT-9 driver to meet all course or weather conditions.
