I guess the new Octane and Razr lines weren't good enough, so now there is the Warbird line?  The irons kind of look like an X-18 head.  I can't even find them on Callaway's website.  Must be a box store deal for Dick's only??

The driver looks like those $20 clubs you see at Dick's. They're probably comparable to the Taylor Made Burner Plus, that are only available at Sports Authority.

I don't get Callaway. These Warbirds, the Diablos, and the x20/22s all look so similar it's not even funny.

They're paying homage to what may be the best all around driver in the history of golf.

Sort of like they paid homage to a great set of forged cavity backs with their new vomitous "Edge" irons - I'm looking at them right now in the Golfsmith ad appearing on the bottom of my screen.

Not sure what the irons are, they don't look like anything Callaway has released previously.  The lofts are way off from the diablo edges, closer to the X-12's and X-14's.

Callaway has had War Bird woods before. original WBs came out circa 2005, and the popular fairway woods featured a curved sole to reduce turf drag. This line had the famous "Heavenwood" AKA 7-Wood. Go on Callaway Pre-Owned to see a picture. Some had Memphis 10 steel shafts, others 96 gr. or 90 gr. graphite shafts | An old WB that is very good or like new can still sell for $85. I had a chance to get a "good shape" 5W and 7W this January at a Golf Expo, but opted against it because I already had a TM Raylor.

I can't blame Cleveland if they did manufacture these and end up selling them exclusively at Dicks.  Might as well try and steal some of the $200-300 box set club market from the Hogan/Slazenger/Maxfli/Acuity lines that Dick's puts out.

Not the irons, the driver. I've never seen it anywhere other than Sports Authority.

Can't comment on the history of Warbird irons, but the Warbird soleplate on their woods is from the 90s.

I saw them at Dick's not sure where they fit into the rest of the Callaway line, but they looked like a an combination of the Diablo Edges and X-20 series.  I didn't really care for the look or color scheme.

How do they play and hold up?  Anyone know?

Weird that most of what was said was "....they look like...." - "....must be box store quality....." - who cares?  How are they built and how do they play?

Doesn't sound like anyone knows for sure, but I'll take a wild guess that anyone familiar with the original Callaway BB with Warbird soleplate will be not buying this version. They (Callaway) hit a home run with the 1st generation WB.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
