Thanks for the info, can you tell me how the FS3 performs compaired to the DCT in the same loft? I am asking about launch, spin, forgiveness, sound and any other comparisons you think are note worthy.

The people that claim that a head is significantly lower in launch and spin are usually the people that are lower than 100mph club head speed. The DCT is lower by a touch in comparison to a like lofted driver of most ilk, but you probably won't see it. I noticed it doesn't tend to float at the end of the flight pattern, but it's not enough to change lofts for me and anybody I know that has a good firm swat at the ball. Look at the J33, J36, etc, that people say can't be launched high, bring it to me and I'll make it rain with it.. You can't go by most people's suggestions if you are in the 110mph range, that means you are swinging your 5 iron at their driver pace, it will be different.
If you are hitting the I20, you probably won't see any significant advantage to the DCT, they are both of the same type of driver. FYI the FS3 is going to spin more and be slightly more forgiving than the DCT, also will feel a bit softer.

DC,
Thanks for your perspective. I let my nephew hit the GEEK; he is high speed, but low launch and he hit it well. I would say from my perspective, the TM Superdeep, Callaway FT-Tour & FT-9 Tour, Ping i15 & i20 and even the Adams 9015D all are lower launch/spin heads for me. I have not tried the Bridgestone drivers yet, but I do have a J40 430 head that is waiting for the right shaft to come along. I have an Accra 75 gram X flex tour prototype on the way.... We'll see.
Thx-Charlie

I found the I drivers, with the proper shaft, to be great. They are lower launch and spin than most. I don't find the DCT to be anything crazy different than the market, with the right shaft it can be a very special driver though, LONG for sure.  Here's to finding what works!
