Callaway 2014 Xtreme clubs??

Can someone give me a heads up to what this model is? I do know it is not the Razr

Xtreme

. I think it might be a made for Costco, etc club. Which is fine for me, I just need an easy to hit 5 wood that might carry 190 yards for travel days. Layout of my own course usually warrants Driver, 3 wood, then a 23 degree hybrid. But on courses I travel to I often run into the 3wood is too much, 23* hybrid is not enough situation. Since this would be a part time club so I absolutely do not mind spending less $$$. Anyone have a clue what it might compare to in the Standard Callaway line? Maybe a model or two back in time with different cosmetics? Definitely not the Warbird sole... Any thoughts? Thanks.

Driver :T Edge CB-1 or Cally Mini Driver 14* or GBB 11*
Tour Edge CB2 15* 3 wood (Best Club Ever!)

Callaway XR 5Wood (New BCE!)

Hybrids: Nike SQ 23*  Tour Edge 28*

Irons: TMade RAC  7-PW   T Flight 56 SWedge
Putter: Odyssey 2 Ball Blade, SStroke flatside to hole

I have their model from 2 years prior, the Costco X-24 line which was a rebrand of the X-24 Hot. These clubs, like your X-treme, are good clubs. They're rebranded Razr X irons from 2012 with a bunch of woods and hybrids that have no fancy tech in them. But know a few things: they have basically no resale value, they're made with tremendous offset in the irons (which might be a good thing!), and they're made a bit cheaply, with various cosmetic effects done less cleanly than in a regular release. Edges aren't beveled, paint isn't as clean, etc. The shafts are very generic. That said, the woods are very forgiving. I hit that driver better than the Big Bertha that sold for more than the whole set cost. I think in retrospect it's good value but you can do a lot better for a bit more money. But it's a good set for a high handicap player who doesn't want to stress too much about what they're buying.

Thanks, that is pretty much what I expected. The "forgiveness" might be what I am looking for??? I was kind of surprised when I found them listed on the Callaway Pre-owned site. While not top shelf, Callaway at least stood behind them and acknowledged them as Callaway. Kind of the way I describe my golf game when playing with strangers... "Not good enough to embarrass them, not bad enough to embarrass myself". Makes it enjoyable to play when I have to play with strangers when on vacation. For the price I might give a 5 wood a chance. No Costco close to me, so I could say they are a European model?:-D Thanks.

I also bought my set from Callaway Preowned after having seen it in Costco (was 375 on Black Friday 2012 vs. 550 in store). It's just unsold units returned to Callaway. Costco was selling a rebranded X-Hot all last year and they're probably going to release this year's rebranded Callaway set within a month, following the schedule of the past few years. So that set might be gettable at a discount, though harder to identify because, if I could get on my soapbox, Callaway and Costco did a bit of shady business last year by not identifying in any way that set as a reissue. They were just labeled  "X-Hot," which is the first time they called it the same name as the model it was based on, versus some clearly changed name (X-24 Hot became X-24, Diablo Edge became RAZR Edge, RAZR became X-Treme, but X-Hot became X-Hot even though the clubs changed). 

In any event, Callaway Preowned is great, I've done a lot of business with them. Good luck!

I think Dicks Sporting Goods may have gotten some of those Re-issued X-Hots as well. I remember an X-Series & X-Hot Black name plates. Dicks also seems to have a never ending supply of RBZ clubs that are configured a bit differently. Sales kid said they were from TM's Japan market... typical BS. I have noticed Callaway Pre-owned.com has a slight price difference between their online site and their Ebay store site. I'm still trying to determine if inventory is the same? Also looking to see if Free Shipping after $100 is the same for both sites.  Any clue whether they update inventory daily? Weekly? Thanks.

Yeah, the X-Series and N14 or whatever they call them are the same basic idea, just more clearly labeled for consumers. 

Callaway Preowned's site, EBay store, and Amazon store have very little in the way of internal price consistency. I've seen price differences of over 30% before any sales even were taken into account. Amazon prices can shift daily or stay the same for months on end, but they're usually a few bucks at a time. Their main site will have sales all the time and the prices jump massively so you have to time it more.

Did not know Callaway also had an Amazon storefront as well. Gives me something to do as I wait for warmer weather. Normally I would say wait for the snow to melt. But not this year. I live just north of Saratoga and we 0.00 inches of snow on the ground! So far under 10 inches TOTAL. I will monitor the Callaway sites... I was considering a cheap 5 wood. Prices are good so maybe I will pop for a X2 Hot 5 wood to add to the 4Wood which is my first need. Thanks for the info it is helpful.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
