Back then it was called the FT-9 Tour Authentic. The name was changed to FT Tour when they became available to the general public. Essentially Ernie is playing the new FT Tour with a different paint job. Quote MyGolfSpy is only major golf site that refuses advertising from large golf companies.

Not sure, i just thought the FT9 TA was an FT9 with a hosel similar to the FT5 TA and the FT Tour is 380 CC if i remember correctly.

Not sure, i just thought the FT9 TA was an FT9 with a hosel similar to the FT5 TA and the FT Tour is 380 CC if i remember correctly. My understanding is that the FT Tour and FT9 TA are the same club (mysteriously renamed over the winter, perhaps to avoid confusion). It's a traditionally hoseled club (radical departure for Callaway). It's 440cc instead of the 4600cc volume we've come to expect. The face is 1.5 degrees open (I believe the FT-9 Tour head is 1 degree open). I actually prefer the sole graphics on the original. As much as I love simple, the version brought to market is a little bland. Quote MyGolfSpy is only major golf site that refuses advertising from large golf companies.
