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

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
