My callaway rep stopped by to drop of my new clubs today. I'm so excited to hit them. Stupid ankle of mine...





Alright, so they're not really mine. DAMNIT! Only 2000 sets are going to be made. I could probably get my hands on a set, but I'd still paying at least $1100 and I'm sponsored by Callaway... Phil and Annika are using them, I'd imagine Ernie too.

Isn't it gorgeous!

ooooo, im jealous. those are sick! i wonder how they compare to the x-forged. i noticed in the players, phil had the x-muscle for the short-mid irons, but for the longer irons(3,4, maybe 5) he had x-forged. i wonder why?

If I had to guess, I'd say because the heads on the XForged are a tad bigger, maybe equaling a little more forgiving, easier to look down at for Phil? Just a guess though...

Nah, I doubt I'll plunk down the money for a set. If I did I would keep them as a collectors item, and that's a bit out of my budget for that hobby of mine.

Working in a golf shop doesn't pay anything, but the perks are great and many. One being, being put "on staff". I represent Callaway at my club and try sell their equipment to my membership. My head pro is the official staff guy. But my Callaway rep is a member at my club, and we've become pretty good friends. He was nice enough to extend an "assistants staff" contract to me. I signed a one year contract to play only their clubs. In return I get $1000 worth of equipment. Basically I'm responsible for helping my rep make his sales numbers. It also helps that I'm active (or was active) in tournament play. Companies like seeing their stuff represented on tours.

Ben,

These are really sweet. I saw them on TGW and believe they were about $1600.

Ben, out of curiosity, why do you have to pay for them? Should you not be covered by both your discount and the fact that your on staff?

Ben,

Because of the limited edition-ness I suppose. I think my sales rep said he'd have to pay for a set if he wanted them too.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
