Tell Us What You Think – Callaway Brand Survey

Tell Us What You Think – Callaway Brand Survey
Brands are not just what they say they are. Brands are what consumers say they are. – Ari Jacoby, CEO Solve Media

Yeah, I know I led with that quote last time around, but I’m trying to make a point here.

Your Opinion Really Matters

As we said last time around, the golf companies have some pretty lofty perceptions of who they are, how innovative they are (“we’re like so totally innovative“), and how much better their products are than their competitor’s.

Ask any company in golf and they’ll tell you the same thing:

“We make a superior product” –Every Golf Company

They can’t all be right. Right?

One of those companies that will happily (and confidently) assure you that their products are the best in golf is Callaway. Callaway is a bit of an interesting story. While the subject of our last survey (Titleist) is arguably the most consistent company in golf, Callaway has enjoyed…probably not the right word, suffered…that’s better, through some turbulent times. After years of …let’s be brutally honest here…crapping their own pants, things have apparently taken a turn for the better.

Chip Brewer came on as CEO. Former TaylorMade Exec Harry Arnett was brought in to fix the marketing department, and well, the rest…while not quite history, does more or less get us to where we are today; year two of Harry’s #fiveyearwar against futility, mediocrity, and Callaway’s status quo.

Is it working?

It’s a great story, but unless it rings true with YOU, the all-important consumer of golf warez, well, then the Callaway story, no matter how good, might as well be fiction…bad fiction. The kind with Fabio on the cover. He’s so dreamy, but I digress.

There’s Something In it For You. . . One Of You, Anyway

One survey taker (you have to complete the survey) will be randomly selected to receive a MyGolfSpy Prize Package.

The survey is only 21 (short) questions long, and the first handful is all about you. That’s not so bad right?

Take the Survey

While I still don’t love it, based on reader feedback, we have added an “average” option to a few of our questions.

We had nearly 4000 readers take the survey last time around. Let’s see if we can’t do even better this time.

      I purchased two Callaway clubs at Palmbrook Country Club, Sun City, AZ. I played about two 9 hole rounds and used the 5 fairway wood a few times and the finish chipped off the top. Neither Palmbrook Pro Shop or Callaway would stand behind the product.

      i do like callaway, however they seem to be foundering while trying to find identity. their balls are probably better than v1, their wedges are top notch, Odyssey putters are a-one, and their drivers and fairways have been super recently – i hit an xhot 3+ 345 yds once (true, the conditions could not have been better- 15mph wind away, absolute perfect contact,.. arguably the best swing i ever made… [why couldn’t this have been on the course!] but was averaging 285…) i do not like any offset, however, so this limits what they’re gonna be able to sell me. if they can find their niche again, and exploit it they will do just fine. don’t follow tmag or try to out-young cobra, just be callaway, and do it for years. people want to know they’re getting callaway when they buy callaway.

      Good marketing and genuine performance put the RazrFit Extreme Driver and the 3 Deep 3 wood ( 14.5 degree ) in my bag this summer. The Driver is as long as anything I’ve seen and the 3 Deep with the higher loft is easy to hit and long with a gorgeous slight draw when I put a proper swing on it. Wilson has had my iron business for years and only Mizuno would be considered as a replacement. Callaway appears to be improving on that end of the game also.

      The only thing I owned Callaway prior to last year was Shirts, Shoes, and Balls. Then I heard about their change in Management, and being an Adams Golfer I decided to check them out. Callaway Optiforce Drive, X Hot 3 wood and X hot 3 Hybrid are now in my bag, and on or around Jan 14 I’ll have the X Hot2 Irons. I still hit Callaway Balls and shot my first sub 70 round with their Chrome Plus ball, in my last 7 years. Probably more the driver than the balls, but those balls sure don’t scuff like most other balls I’ve played.

      Callaway is only going to get better under its current management.

      Used the old big bertha 3 and 5 wood for about 3 monthes but just never felt right when I hit with them.I had a old rossie putter which I used for about 10 to 15 years not sure which but I was deadly with it. Ask my golfing buddies. Switched 2 years ago to a white ice 2 ball mid putter 43 inch length. After experimenting with different ways to putt with it for about 3 monthes
      feel like I’m just as good if not a better putter with the new 1. The guys I play with also believe this too, even after telling me I was a fool for switching in the beginning. Anyway not to keen on callaway irons or woods but show me a odessey putter and my eyes sparkle. Love their
      putters even if the cost is a little high but most golf equipment is priced somewhat high nowadays.

      I think when you start to generalize like this you short change yourself and others if you have a sphere of influence. The reason that I say this is because we have a Pro in our forum, PGA_09, who is a Cally Staffer, and with the possible exception of his hybrid, his bag is ALL Cally, the other 13 clubs.

      And while he may or may not have Tour Issue heads, this I do not know, though I do know that every single Cally club in his bag can be purchased by you and I.

      And I assure that these are not high handicapper clubs.

      While I had never been a fan of the Cally MBs(my irons are Mizzy MP-68s), I do really like the looks of the Apex Pros and I’ll definitely be hitting them.

      Well, thanx for postin and if time permits, stop in the forum.

      One problem I have with Callaway is they have their store on line that hurts the small shop owner. They recycle used equipment competing against the small shop owner. I would not blame a small shop owner for not stocking their products. I do like some of the forged irons and the chrome + ball.

      Callaway has definitely picked up their game over the last few years as it pertains to trying to become the #1 OEM as it’s evident with all they are doing to try and get part or all of th media share that was once held #1 by Taylormade. Now Callaway it seems to me is pulling out all the stops to get that #1 position with all the latest hype of The Apex Iron line the X-Hot 2 driver & woods line along with the New Bertha ( Driver B & C) line that still hasn’t even been seen but the rumors that they have let loose as to how big this new driver will be is to obviously knock Taylormade from the thrown that they have held for who knows how many years. they said they have a 5 year plan and so far it looks like its starting to work with their best sales year in quite a while. now they expect 2014 to even be better with these newest offerings. Media has a lot to do with all of this latest success and the way they participate with us the consumers has to be commended. I haven’t played Callaway since my original X-prototypes a few years back along with the FT-9TA which was a Tour Only product I’ve never used Callaway product as when they first came into the golfing arena they were building clubs exclusively for the 20 + handicappers. Now they actually have gotten better and are making clubs for all levels of golfers. Now this year i will look at their product again and see if it works for my game.

      I played Callaway clubs back in the day. I remember when everyone,and I mean everyone had a Big Bertha. Sometime soon after Mr.Callaway passed away,the Callaway products started going downhill and lost their #1 status to Taylormade. I played TM for years and then I tried the X-hots. I switched back to Callaway immediately. They look and feel like the Callaway clubs of the past. I now have a full bag of Callaway clubs,x-hot driver,3 wood,3&4 hybrids,5-pw irons.I still love my Cleveland wedges and my Scotty Cameron putter,and my pro v1x,but everything else is Callaway.

      Callaway has been a nice addition to my bag, picked up some wedges and started using the ball this year. I have been impressed with both.

      I only wish you guys at MGS did Taylormade first. Then we all could have seen the rage of all the people here who hate TM go nuts over choosing them first, and the favoritism shown. I won’t lie – I like reading some of those comments and how angry people get.

      Callaway can be thanked for leading the industry in changing their products twice or more each year. Most golfers replace certain clubs each year, but to have their investment loose most of its value in three to six months, not only hurts the buyer, but also the retailer. Edwin Watts’ bankruptcy is a victim to all this frequent “technology” revisions. Why, when your company buys the latest product today, and you heavily invest in inventory to anticipate demand, or have a minimum buy amount from the manufacturer, then that same manufacturer changes the product in a short time period, you get stuck with a lot of unwanted inventory, and are forced to sell at a lower margin. I doubt Callaway or any other brand is willing to buy back all of the “old” inventory when the new product comes out. Many other industry “leaders” follow the pattern set by Callaway, not to mention their buying competing companies, then closing them down. Who wants to be a part of all that?

      “Most golfers replace certain clubs each year, but to have their investment loose most of its value in three to six months, not only hurts the buyer, but also the retailer”

      A golf club is not an “investment,” it’s a sporting good. It loses value even faster than a new car. As the kids say these days, if you’re buying a recreational good with resale value in mind, “ur doin’ it ring.”

      As for retailers, they seem not to mind stocking Callaway, Taylormade and other companies that turn over product lines in rapid succession.

      Your definition of investment is limited to a monetary issue. An investment in sporting goods is often referred to as an “investment” in a sport, and this term is frequently used by the golfing industry.
      If your opinion about retailers is true, stop by an Edwin Watts store and ask them what they think the reasons are for the huge debt that has forced them into bankruptcy.
      The golfing industry is infected with the pandemic in America. It is called “GREED.” And Callaway started it many years ago.

      When he referred to his clubs as “an investment losing most of its value in three to six months,” the OP was pretty obviously referring to a monetary issue. There is no rational reason that a manufacturer releasing updated models of its clubs should affect his “investment” in the sport.

      And Edwin Watts filing for bankruptcy isn’t a commentary on the pending ruination of the golf industry because they churn equipment, it’s another data point in a generational shift as to how consumers buy goods. See: Circuit City, et. al.

      You may want to check your facts with regard to Edwin Watts. They had some significant internal issues they dealt with that had nothing to do with Callaway or any other specific vendor. Their issues were wide ranging in nature.

      Wow, golfers are very fast to chase the next new thing! For goodness sake how much more will a driver improve your game if all it does is get you 3 more yards and no straighter and very likely more off center line. I just replaced my driver with a new SLDR from Taylormade because I saw Phil using one in the Presidents Cup. He said it was because the forward CG made it spin less. My previous driver had a cracked crown and had to be replaced, I was hitting it great and hated to loss it. I have played the same KZG forged III irons for over 14 years, over the last two years I have relaced the 7 and 8 last year and the 9 and P wedge this year all with the same clubs just new. The grooves were worn out. I did update my hybrids this year from Nickents to RBZ tour, I gained 10 -15 yards each, it has helped fill the gap created by longer drives. This is the first time I have changed an of my clubs except my driver, which I won for a long drive in a tournament the new Rocketballs was 20 yards longer than what I had been using. The top drivers out today are all so close in total driving based on the info I read on this sight where you were searching for the best driver of the year why buy a new one if you own one from the top of the list that you hit well?

      I do a fair amount of traveling and have found I can usually borrow decent clubs when visiting friends and business associates. So I have used many different brands as you might imagine. I also do demo days and a lot of A/B comparisons in hitting booths. For me a club (iron or wood) must look right at address first. You simply can’t turn the head at address to make it square. Thus off-set woods and irons are out for me. Further, classic lines are preferred and add-on crap like “Titanium inserts” are a turnoff. I have found that what’s inside a club in engineering is money better spent than outside design. Sometimes those qualities can co-exist but not usually. My last comment is having seen the results of custom fittings that many friends and relatives have gone to the expense of having. Now not all “fitters” deserve their expense but for the great majority this will be the best thing for your game. Getting the right shaft for your individual swing is huge. Then you can play around and experiment with clubs and balls and see what works best for you. My swing speed has dropped a lot from my best days and I now need milder shafts in my irons but I still use a Pro V1 balls. I think I may suffer from some mental addiction with balls as many tell me but I regularly test them against the others and find they work best for me. Mizuno blades for high irons/wedges and Mizuno perimeter weighted irons for long irons play and feel best for me. I switched from Cally woods to TM RocktBallz Tour driver/3W. The driver is fab but the 3W is much more hard to hit so I will do some work this winter to find a solution. This could be a simple shaft change and if not I may need to swap out both the driver/3 so I have the same feel in my bag. I suspect there are more people like me out there who prefer a consistent look in their bag than a fruit salad ‘lost and found’ collection that many seem to carry. BTW I came very close to selecting a Cally Razr Fit/3 when I bought my TM’s. My testing showed very little diff in performance but the TM’s were a good deal less in price. My other wild card is a Scotty Cameron original “Futura” that may look a little goofy but I putt well with. I should add that my older brother got fitted last year with Callaway woods/irons with custom shafts and he lowered his handicap 4 strokes and hits his tee ball at least 20 yds longer! Most guy testify their own stats but I have seen his with my own eyes and it is dramatic. He gives credit to the clubs but I think the shafts must have played a bigger role.

      I bought Callaway products prior to the introduction of the Big Bertha Driver. I thought that they were ahead of the competition in so far as R&D and Engineering were concerned. However, the shaft on the BB was cracking, called and they said they would put another shaft in but instead sent me a new driver that I couldn’t come close to hitting as well as the original. That’s when I stopped buying Callaway. I have never cared for their irons except the blades. I spend 2-3k each year on equipment (Club Ho).
      This past Spring and Summer I have purchased the Xhot Driver, 3 wood, Pro Hybrids 3, 4, 5. I absolutely love them. They are the easiest clubs to hit and to hit well. I did reshaft the driver but everything else is stock. I bought a TM R1, Ping G25 and although I hit the PING well the TM is crap. I think Callaway is on their way back, now if they could design and build a good set of irons.

      Love the extreme fit and x-hot drivers. The x-hot 3 wood pro is another keeper. I would have liked to see cally keep the optiforce hosel adapter the same as the fit and xhot design (defeats the purpose of loft adjustments) so I could try out the light weight shaft from the optiforce so you could interchange all three heads.

      The versa putters are a nice feel insert as well. The pro and tank #7 putters are nice too.

      Not a fan of the irons as ping still has me there.

      My biggest problem with Callaway is I feel they are trying to charge as much as they can to get the most money out of their customers. It is very disheartening to make a large purchase only find outa few months later that a new and better product has come out. This is one reason I don’tbuy TaylorMade clubs. I realize the company is trying to make a buck, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I feel the pricing is exorbitant and they basically have lost me as a loyal customer. That being said, I have enjoyed the clubs I purchased, but when it comes time to replace them, I will look around, whereas in the past,I normally would go out and get the latest and greatest that Callaway had to offer.

      As I get older I am more receptive to brands other than my standards. In the last season I purchased and gamed a Callaway driver and fairway wood. Came away with the feeling that the new entries were “average” but nothing special. In terms of inovation TM still leads the pack especially with the woods and their new game improvement irons are (for my game) the new standard. Although I currently game and love the Titelist 910 driver, I will definitely try the new TM driver and fairways. After trying all the new game improvement irons I purchased the Rocketbladz irons .They provided the perfect transition for my necessary move from forged.

      Amen brother..
      In the quest to have “the longest driver” everyone has pretty much relied on technology advances that are significant. things like weighting, varying metal thickness, etc. But the trend to de-loft clubs is agonizing. The sad news is that we golfers are a significant part of the problem.
      it won’t be long till they offer a set that starts with a 21 degree pitching wedge with 20 or 30 other wedge choices to fill in the set. Maybe then everyone will be happy when they can say they hit a wedge into a long par 3.
      I have also read so many articles as to where have all the one & two irons gone. The real answer is they are alive and well. They are just called a 2 & 3 iron. Probably just as well though… Using today’s loft standards, a modern one iron would probably be even more unhittable at a svelt 14 degrees… Even Hogan (if he were still alive) probably wouldn’t try to hit it.

      Interestingly enough, I felt in recent years Callaway has fallen behind the likes of Taylormade, Cobra and Nike in terms of marketing and targeting the younger audience. This was until this past year. The launch of the xHot and RazrFit series are great performing clubs (just see the MGS reviews). I ended up buying the xHot driver and RazrFit 3W and they are the most reliable clubs in my bag now. Great company.

      The X-Hot drivers, fairways and hybrids are best I have ever hit by far.

      The irons do look clunky and I seriously hate how marketing and deception came into play with all golf companies with the delofting their irons – a 6 iron today has much less loft than one from 15 years ago.

      Except that today’s de-lofted “6” iron (which has the same degree face as yesterday’s 5 iron) goes as high as yesterday’s 6 iron, is as easy to hit, and stops as fast. It just goes much further. So what is the manufacturer to do? If a club has the same flight characteristics and stopping power as a 6, I say it’s a 6; it does not matter how many degrees the club face has. I suppose the degree debate wouldn’t matter if all clubs were as easy to hit regardless of their length and loft, but we all know that isn’t true. They get harder to hit the lower the number.

      To compare apples to apples, I just did a test with my old Ping Eye 2 irons and today’s notoriously de-lofted, long-shafted, and super long Rocketbladez. Since I play clubs that are +1″ over standard anyway, the +1″ standard Rocketbladez felt normal to me. Their 7i was just like my Ping 7i, but it was clearly about 2 degrees delofted and you could see the strong loft at address. They each climbed about as high and stopped about the same distance from impact — about 4 feet — even though the Pings sport the legendary illegal square grooves. So this seems like a very close match, right?

      Wrong, the Rbladez went about 175 on average and the Ping about 160. And the Rbladez went straighter. Out go the Pings, in go the Rbladez.

      Does this mean I have bigger gaps at the bottom. Yes and no. The gaps were always there, they are just different now, but because manufacturers make so many different wedges these days (In my case TMag makes an ATV for every two degrees from 48 to 64) I am better able to spread the gaps with the right wedge selection.

      I will admit that the real benefit comes at the top end. I can now hit 4 and 5 irons in situations where I would have formerly had to hit a hybrid or 5 wood. For me, that benefit alone was worth making the change.

However I had two clubs (driver and a 3deep) break or rust after just a couple of rounds and a good friend with a similar experience I have to say I don’t think they are building clubs to last a reasonable amount of time.

      Most companies are not making clubs to last into the future; that’s a given today. Golf companies do not make money if they either do not entice you to come back or “force” you to replace your “old” equipment.

      The razor fit extreme woods are for real! I have the driver and 3 wood and have never hit my woods better, and I have owned 4 different drivers in the past year. I’m sticking with these.

      For the most part, I could care less what the pros are using in terms of golf gear. Equipment counts and the Darrell Survey can be misleading. As a gear head, I’m interested in only one thing. Does the equipment I buy help me get it in the hole? To a lesser extent, I won’t buy gear if I think it’s overpriced. For example, if I think a wedge offered by Company “A” is the same as every other offering, but priced 20% higher, it will never see the inside of my bag. However, if a company offers something that I believe is truly innovative, it will get serious consideration from me. I believe Callaway has been offering excellent gear to the average Joe for years. They innovate, and they price their gear reasonably for the most part. Seriously, if Phil Mickelson switches from Titleist to Callaway, it should mean nothing to us. (Unless you are aware as a consumer that Phil will now be pushing Callaway instead of Tilteist.) You get my point. I don’t think Callaway has been pandering to the pros. I think their focus has always been on the weekend hack and the decent amateur player. Top it off with perhaps the best customer service in the industry – “It’s broken? Send it back, we’ll fix it or replace it, no questions asked” – and you have a real winner. I will always be loyal to the brand.

      I have played callaway equipmet for a long time. when i stared I loved titilist and hated callaway. I head some cool thinkgs happinging in there golf ball industry and I desided to compere the callaway ball and the tilitlst ball. I scored 4 strocks better with the callaway ball. I have be a supporter of callaway ever since. I think that there products are the best in golf. I would never play a taylormade club over a callaway.

      I have played Callaway equipment for the last 3 years without compromise. Everything in my bag was Callaway except my Rife putter. They make a great range of irons for various players, and solid drivers and fairway metals. Out of frustration with my newest Callaway fairway metals which seemed to be a step down in performance from my older models, I tinkered with new brands and found a lot of improvement was there to be had. I always believed the swing was king and equipment was secondary. However, spend any time on the launch monitor and you will quickly see there are many companies out there with quality products that may perform better for you. My bag is now Callaway free. I feel a bit of a traitor, but dropping scores indicate it was the right decision. I am also very turned off by the unveiling of new Callaway drivers like they were a change of underwear. The industry seems to be doing that a lot, but Callaway seems to be the leader. I want to buy a quality product and know its not going to upstaged by my manufacturer in only a few short months.

      I have only used Callaway “Odyssey” putters. A lot of the equipment seems to be priced fairly high in my opinion.

      Callaway Golf has slightly improved its image over the last few years, thanks largely to its improved social media efforts. They are engaging, they respond to customer questions and they can be found across all networking platforms. This is a huge deal, especially when compared to other companies.

      I love callaway’s woods! The razr extreme and the xhot pro line are some of the best I’ve ever hit. I’ve never really been a fan of their irons (they always look clunky), though. As much as I like them it seems they are too focused on taylormade golf. If they get into a spending war with TMAG, it will play out like the US and the USSR in the 80’s, and I don’t think TMAG will be the loser.
