hey guys,

so last week i'm teeing off on Aviara's 7th hole-- a downhill bomb and gouger so I naturally whip out my trusty Callaway Fusion FT-3 I picked up 2 years ago.

well somehow the tungsten weight snaps off inside the driver and I think I'm completely F'd. I start wondering if I should just buy another FT-3, try to find a discount on another big stick from tgw.com or what, but I have a trip to Sawgrass next week so I have to act fast.

when i get back to the east coast, i take the driver to the local golf shop just to confirm i'm cooked and have to pony up for a new club and find out Callaway will still honor the warranty after two years and how ever many rounds I've played. the clerk hangs up the phone and says i've got a new FT-5 on the way and will be here in a couple days.

now that's customer service--i'll never ever think about buying a knockoff with service like that...

Callaway customer service is second-to-none. I ordered a set of irons then changed my swing at the recommendation of an instructor. The Fusion Wide Soles I bought can not be bent so they sent me a completely new set of irons with the proper specs on a on-time replacement. Now they play great, I love those guys.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
