I recently purchased a Big Bertha Alpha from rippedgolf1 on Ebay. I made sure to look at his feedback before purchasing and it seemed to check out.

I got the brand new driver in and was extremely excited, and quite frankly- wanted to show it off. I played 2 round with it, and hit one range session where I let a couple of friends and a coupe of strangers hit it. Everything seemed to be fine until the 3rd round I played. On #2, the club head went flying and my morale was ruined the rest of the round where I eventually stopped taking score it was getting so ugly (although I did get quite a bit of work done with my 3 wood.)

I proceeded to call Callaway to verify authenticity and they informed me that they did not keep a database of serial numbers as that would be no good. The representative said I had 2 options- Send it to them to verify and it would not be warrantied, or take it to my local golf shop and see what they could do for me.

So I walk into my local Golf USA and go talk to the equipment technician. We look at some prices and I am just about ready to drop $120 on a shaft and grip to get the club head back on the course when right before, I ask if we could confirm that it is real before I drop more cash on a fake club. They end up calling Callaway again and before I can explain that I have already called them and they sent me Golf USA's way... They have another $250 Fubuki ZT shaft sent my way in 5-7 business days! No questions asked.

Now I heard the GUSA associate tell the Callaway rep that I had purchased it on Ebay from a non-verified seller and I had been told previously that it was not warranted... but either I got a "new guy" or he just didn't hear that small yet very important detail... or Callaway is just that good with their customers and offers excellent service. Any thoughts or previous experiences with Callaway or anything like this?

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
