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...

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • 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. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
