I was looking for a review of these somewhere.

Just picked the irons up at my local Play it again sports for 180 bucks (4H, 5-SW) and I'm very pleased with these. I'm not swinging the very latest clubs on the market; but I am a fairly good player who hangs around in the Mid-80s and these are wonderful sticks esp. for the $. I beat my X-20s into the ground for years and after tinkering with some taylormades and a set of pings Im glad I found and settled on these. Like putting the Xs back into my grip with new makeup.

I do find it weird that there is essentially no info on these sticks anywhere, even at Callaway's website.

I am not the greatest golfer by any shape or form of the imagination, but I recently picked up this iron set because I knew I needed new irons and being a college student I have a limited budget. Has anyone actually played them before? I am about to this Saturday and hope they play ok. I recently changed over ALL my clubs. I have been playing with the same set since I was 17 (now 29) and didnt realize how much of a difference your clubs will actually make. Trying my friends Callaway Irons and Nike driver I was hitting the ball straighter, cleaner and further than I have ever. I have already switched over to Nike's Driver VR PRO 10 not 9.5 and have been very pleased with the distance and control of my drive. I am just wondering if anyone out there has used the Warbirds so I can find out what to expect on saturday. They are Callaway which all my buddies swear by and the set I did use (my friends clubs) were fantastic. Any input would be greatly appreciated happy "birdie hunting"

Yes they are for Dick's stores only.  I recently purchased the 3W.  I love it.  It goes LONG.  Seriously long.  I am looking for a Driver to test out.  Dick's didn't have one.

I got these around Christmas time (4-AW), and I love them.   Granted, they replaced my 15yo hand me downs, but they are great for me.  I hit several clubs in the 200-300 dollar range, and these were the easiest for me to hit straight and pure by far.   They are very forgiving.  So far, they have held up well, but they are only 4 months in.

Yes they did. I still bag my WB 3w (see sig) from ~1993, and I have hit all sorts of newer 3 woods, and still nothing comes close. Really wish they would reincarnate that design..

They are discontinued. The Strata line is taking the place of the Warbirds...with a much smaller price tag. The Warbirds were sold as a complete set and the only place I have found them still available is at Global Golf and Rockbottom Golf. The Strata line was part of Top Flite which was sold to Dick's but Callaway kept the Strata name. Four complete sets are available men's 18 and 13 and women's 16 and 11 piece complete set..

http://www.callawaygolf.com/global/en-us/golf-equipment/strata.html

In my  bag:

Driver, Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 9.5 stiff

3, 5 woods: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 15,18 degrees Stiff

2 hybrid: Callaway Diable Edge Tour 18 degrees R (out when the 5 wood is in)

3,6 hybrids: Callaway Diablo Edge 21 S and 30 degrees R

4,5 hybrids: Callaway Razr X HL 24 and 27 degrees Stiff

7-AW irons: Callaway Razr HL graphite R shafts 

SW 54 Callaway X Series Jaws CC Slate Fujikura Graphite Stiff

Putter: Odessey White Ice 1 Blade Putter. 

Ball...looking for any ball that hates water, sand, long grass, and getting lost in the woods. 

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.

Yes - I remember the old Warbirds!

I remember the Memphis 10 steel shafts too - fabulous!

I have a load of old Wilson, TaylorMade and Titleist clubs in my garage but no longer have the Callaway Warbirds - I regret not hanging on to these great clubs.

They were the ones before the big move over to titanium heads.  Callaway went stupid and started charging ridiculous sums for their Great Big Bertha driver, (something like £500) and they lost me.

I always remember being able to hit the 10 deg WB off the deck with a draw - easily!  You can't do that so well with all of these 460cc heads now.

I could hit the WB driver past anything I've had since.  Looking around on Ebay etc. there's none about anymore - what happened to them - did they all get melted down or something?

Those were the days!

They should be still available at Callaway's pre-owned golf site ( http://www.callawaygolfpreowned.com/golf/drivers,default,sc.html ).

I got a classic WB Great Big Bertha 10 degree driver and it was so much easier to hit it over the new 460cc heads. Maybe it's a psychological thing on my part - but I find it less intimidating to swing a smaller club head over those ginormous new drivers.

I bought these clubs a couple of days ago when I was harassed by the shopkeeper to purchase them. My first thought was what a nice a bag surely the clubs are good. I was horrendously wrong. These clubs are a tragic remake of the once great Calloway name and I personally would not recommend them to anyone . So mate I beg you to forget about callaways and move on unless you get a kick out of disappointment. Overall 1.7/10

      What Putting Drills do You Actually Enjoy Doing?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Amazingly, I found this thread while looking to see if others have answers to the same question.   My preferred putting drill is a variant of one from LSW.  For context, as I type this, my handicap is at 10.3, and in my total 2026 rounds, I am at -0.20 strokes gained putting vs a 20 handicap baseline, and I am just shy of losing a full two strokes putting to the 10 handicap baseline, all this despite yesterday's round being marginally better than the 5 handicap baseline (yay for high variance statistics).  I also didn't practice much putting on a real green in 2026 (or 2025) until about two weeks ago, other than pre-round warm-ups.  This is obviously something I need to work on.  I think I last actively practiced (as in, many days, regularly) putting, on a real green, actively in Spring/Summer 2022. Anyway, the double around the world:  pick a distance (I often use 4' or 6') and lay down 12 coins, face-up.  The "standard" version is to do this at 3' and have to make 12 in a row.  That's worth doing periodically.  I know some people do this at 4' or even 5', but with scratch players making 80% from 4', I worry that if I tried to do this at 4', I wouldn't finish by sundown, and I'd certainly just get frustrated.  But the version I enjoy is to have to make them all, twice, eventually.  Pick a starting point and putt from there.  If it is made, and the coin is heads-up, turn it over.  If it was tails-up, pick it up.  The coins are tracking how many times you've made it from that spot so far.   A good score from 4' is 37 total putts for a bogey golfer (65% make rate) and 30 for a scratch player (80% make rate).   At 6', a bogey golfer (39% make rate) should be happy with a 61, while a scratch player should aim to do better than 44.  To make counting easier, I remember (or otherwise mark) the first spot, and when I reach that, I count how many coins are still on the green and add them to my total.  I actually don't count the first two times around (since the count after two go-arounds will be 24, right before counting to start the third) and add 24 at the end.   ----- I also like the "Fall Line" drill from ESC.  I stopped doing it a while back because I couldn't distinguish my own failure from being bad at hitting a 6' putt.  Now that I think I can hit a 6' putt successfully, it's time to go back to that one. Lastly, there are two indoor drills I have enjoyed in the past and am getting back to.  One is the ruler drill from LSW.  The other is one that I was shown in another thread that involves basically seeing what it is like to line up square, something I could have been missing.  ----- Okay, lastly for real, before a round I will also try to figure speed for 12', 21', and 30' putts.  I find a flat (or flat enough) spot on the practice green and step off 4, 7, or 10 steps.  I aim to hit the ball that exact distance (with the 12', I prefer to hit just past it;  with the others, I aim to hit the exact distance).  I view this as similar to learning some partial clock positions (or similar) with wedges to use as a baseline for preparing a shot.  Amazingly, for all my overall putting woes, when SG is broken down by distance I'm usually doing quite well outside of 12'.  This is one of those reasons I'm glad to see SG:P broken down by distance -- it tells me where I need to focus to improve.  While a three-putt from 30' has the same effect on SG:P no matter why, there's a difference in what practice priority to make if that's because the first putt rests 8' from the cup (where Tour players are 50/50) versus if the first putt regularly cozies up within 3-4' but that resulting putt is missed.  I almost never work on speed like this outside of pre-round warm-up.
