I'd already posted this is "Golf talk" and couldn't remove it..so..sorry for the re-post...

Last summer I purchased a used Odyssey 2ball white hot XG from a playing partner and over the past year it developed a striking surface issue. It has a bit of a hollow sound when the ball strikes a particular spot and this causes inconsistent speed. I took the club to my local "Dick's" sporting goods and they agreed to send it to Callaway for repair. I get a call from them today telling me that the serial number shows it to have been a unit that was originally exported, and without the original sales receipt they (Callaway) will not repair the club at all. Mind you..I wasn't looking for warranty service...I just wanted it fixed. I also wanted to have it cut from 35" to 34". Completely willing to pay for this... I'm baffled by their apparent inflexibility to repair this putter. Has anybody else had a similar experience?...or can anyone shed any additional info?

What do they mean by "originaly exported"??
You mean it was made for sale outside the US?

That's what I'm assuming. I got the Callaway customer service# from the Dick's employee and I will call them when I get time. I'm baffled that there seems to be a dead end for me on this.

From what I heard the Callaway customer service is top notch and they'll do anything to please their customers. I think if you call them and explain everything you won't be dissapointed. I'm willing to bet on that.

Actually you should have called them right away without going to Dick's.

well...I contacted Callaway today and in fact my serial number does trace to a shipment that went to Singapore in 2006. Out of warranty. He told me that they do not repair putter faces...they only replace them. And since mine was out of warranty...the best I could do was to have the "re-head" service for $120. He did also tell me that the fact that it was originally shipped to Singapore had nothing to do with it...

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
