Does anyone have an opinion on this club? I tried it at a demo day and loved it but couldn't tell how far i was hitting it because of how the range was set up. I have a Taylor Made 580XD right now and I'm trying to figure out if its worth switching out for the Callaway. let me know what you think!!

I've had the 460 for about month now and I love it. A lot of forgiveness. Might not go as far if you mishit it but it will still go straight. The bigger head also gives me more confidence at address.

It's worth it.. as much as I like the TM R7 460, I hit this 280 uphill, about 30 yards further than a TM580

you gotta be kidding me....you hit it 280+ and you are also a 24 handicap....u either work for Callaway or have the worst short game ever...

Heard that they are recalling them as some break the COR limit like the nike sumo. Not sure if it is true! I would check that out before sticking your hand in your pocket
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.

Short game is bad, and the 280 uphill put me 20 yards from the green which I three putted. Looking at wedges and practice. Everyone in my foursome said "you never hit it that far." I don't work for Callaway but should buy their stock...... still like the R7 460 also.

    • Day 126 - Stack session and some divot board work. 
    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
