I called Callaway and they were very helpful and said they would be able to replace my driver! All the stories about great customer service were very accurate. I obviously recommend Callaway over anyone else because of how they handled my incident.

I repeat ... great customer service yields future customers!! What a great break (no pun intended) for you!! Excellent news.

By reading this result on 2 pages of posts, Calloway just got great "word of mouth" marketing!!
I make all my own clubs:
Driver: Snake Eyes Python XLD | | 3-Wood: Snake Eyes Python XL Faiway, 15*  | | Snake Eyes HT Iron Set, 3-, 4-Utility, 5-, 6-Hybrid, 7-PW Cavity Back | | Golfsmith G-40 Wedges, 52, 56, 60 | | Distance Master DM-AS2 Putter | |Ball? The last one I found ... that... was YOURS!!

Now there's a good company...

I had an FT-5 head fly off at the driving range the other day (under totally normal use). The thing is that it had been reshafted and I have no idea who did it because it came from Callaway preowned (void warranty?). I called Callaway and the guy said to send it in and he'd call me back with the options after they examined it. The damage to the head looks to be cosmetic only but I am hoping that they will replace it. After reading this and other great reviews of the CS, I am kinda expecting that they will offer to replace it. What do you guys think the chances are?

I would think that Callaway would do whatever they could to help you out, especially cause it happened under normal use. That's what their warranty policy is.

Callaway builds the cost of 'customer satisfaction' into their products, just like Nordstrom. If they want to replace a damaged driver that had no factory defect, that's 100% their right and there's nothing wrong with asking (if you are honest about the circumstances). Even if they don't agree to give you a new one (and they certainly are not obligated to do that in your situation) they may offer a deep discount on a replacement. There's no shame in asking! I would venture that they got more in good will and advertising in this thread than it cost them to replace the driver.

So, good for you, and good for Callaway...now be careful with the next one!

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.
