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.

    • There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:
    • I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 30 My typical ball flight is: push fade with iron The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push fade/slice and shank with irons Videos:       
    • Day 1 (17 Jun 26) - Starting the post over - even though I have not missed any days as I’m working as a volunteer instructor at the Jr Golf Camp primarily in short game area (putting/pitching/sand) - Monday - putting stroke and distance control; Tuesday - chipping from off the green with less than wedge (7-9 irons); Today - getting out of bunkers (focusing on splashing the sand underneath the ball) - been a full three days.
