A small plate on the bottom of my FT-3 has come off. I can't find it to replace it. Do you think it will effect the weighting of the club?

Hmm. I doubt it will effect the weighting of the club if it is just a little plastic chevron, but you can probably contact Callaway about getting that part sent to you or having them fix it for you. How long have you had the club? It may be under some sort of warranty. But based on my past relations with them, they will be more than happy to help you out (whether its a question or having something fixed, or having them fix it for you). Shoot them an email and see what they have to say.

Yeah, that's it.

I think you'll be okay. That being said, the sound might change, and I think you should take it to a Callaway representative and see if they will repair it. It's older, but they might be able to fix it. Glue it back on, whatever.

Thanks for the input. I sent the company an email. We'll see what they say.

Sad to say but I've had no response from Callaway.

Take it to your local golf shop, they will send it back and get ya a new one. I have sent a ton of broken, cracked faces back and get new clubs back no questions, I don't even pay shipping.

There's no way they're going to send me a new one at this age. I guess I got it over a year ago. I can't imagine getting a new one.

Doctorfro,

Try to send it To Callaway as dkglf98 said. You will be sorprised how helpfull the callaway guys are. Your club is only 1.? year old? Send it, they will eigther fix it or send you a new one.

Hope you get your club fixed ASAP or get a new one from Callaway.

Even if none of this works, that little peice will do no harm at all. Like Iacas said you may have a different sound to it, but there is nothing major, unless it effects something I wouldnt worry about it. Unless your concerned about the look of it now.

You'd be surprised, if not, I'm sure they'll refinish it up for you and fix the chevron. Shortly after I bought my Fusion irons, I sent them an email asking why they scratched so easy (it was my first set of shiny irons to ever own) and they offered to refinish them free of charge including shipping (something that would have cost over $200 normally). I never let them do it, but I did email them one time asking if I could purchase a set of fusion wood covers to match my bag (at that time I didn't have a fusion fairway wood or driver) and mentioned that I would be willing to pay for them-- they gave them to me for free. They surely do know how to take care of their customers and I have continued to purchase their products as a result.

Do any of you know what kind of turnaround time I could expect in sending them my club?? I'd hate to be without it for a month or more.

Trust me, send it back you will get a new one in a week. I have sent many many clubs back, even a Ping G2 they dont even make 4 years old, got back a new one. Callaway is the best you will get a brand new Ft-3.

Update.....Called Callaway. Talked to a rep who said they would send me a mailing label (which I got via email) to send the club back to be repaired. He then asked me all the specs to the club so I'm thinking they are not going to repair it but rather send me a new one if they have one like it (which is likely). Gotta find a box quick!! Frankly, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they sent me one with a different bias and a tour model at that!

      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.
