Callaway Golf Clubs: New Or Used, Still The Best

Callaway golf is the undisputed leader in golf club technology and sales. The company is constantly developing new products and improving existing products to ensure that Callaway golf drivers, woods and putters outperform the competion. In 2003 Callaway Golf was the first golf manufacturer to receive more than 100 US patents in a single year. Their commitment to excellence is unchallenged.

To understand how Callaway Golf compares to other golf club manufacturers, you need only to review their history.

1) 1986, Callaway was the first to use computer controlled milling machines, ensuring the flatness of their putter surfaces;

2) 1995, they had the number one driver on PGA, LPGA, Senior PGA, Nike and European PGA tours. Callaway Golf also became the number 1 golf manufacturer in sales of irons and woods;

3) 1996, they became the worlds largest manufacturer of golf clubs and Callaway Golf Ball Company was formed;

4) 1997, Sales reach $849 million, which was 3 times larger than the nearest golf club manufacturer;

5) 2003, Callaway Golf was the number 1 brand in woods, putters and irons combined for seven consecutive years;

6) 2007, Callaway has 17 products on the Golf Digest Hot List. They have irons, woods, drivers and golf balls which made Editor’s Choice.

Upon reviewing the above history, it is clear that Callaway Golf clubs are the best in the industry. Unfortunately, this technology also comes at a price. A brand new set of Callaway golf clubs can easily cost $1,000 – $2,000. Although these prices seems high, they are comparable to golf club sets from other large golf manufacturers.

If you are new to the game of golf or do not want to spend as much on golf clubs, you should consider buying used golf clubs. You can purchase used Callaway golf clubs for substantially less while still getting top quality clubs. When purchasing used golf clubs beware of inferior quality merchandise, imitation Callaway golf clubs, clubs that have been altered from original manufacturers specifications and similar issues.

Unless you are a seasoned golf professional or an avid golf player, used Callaway golf clubs are highly recommended. To ensure that the used golf clubs that you’re buying are of the highest quality, purchase certified pre-owned used Callaway golf clubs. The benefits of certified pre-owned golf clubs are as follows:

1) the used golf clubs come with a warranty;
2) the golf clubs are compared to the original manufacturing specifications to ensure quality;
3) they are certified authentic Callaway golf clubs; and
4) they are substantially cheaper than brand new Callaway golf clubs.

Purchasing certified used Callaway golf clubs is similar to purchasing certified pre-owned automobiles. You know what you are getting and you receive a warranty. Make sure your golf club dealer is authorized to sell certified pre-owned used Callaway golf clubs. You can also visit our website for a certified dealer that can sell used Callaway golf clubs that are guaranteed to be authentic.

What is the best putter in golf?

I personally like the old bronze Ping Anser.
Just curious about which putter you prefer and why.

The Odyssey 2-ball series is tremendously popular. I have the White Steel version.

It’s regarded year in and year out as the number one putter out there… check out Golf Digest, it’s always on the Hot List. I’ve actually tried three putters over the last 3 years, and nothing came close to ousting the 2ball. It has great weight and the two ball really helps your alignment.

Just FYI, the other two putters were the Nike Oz Black T130 and the TaylorMade Rossa I tried. I have a buddy who has the Ping Craz-E and absolutely loves it. However…. the guy who’s the best putter I know carries an old Slotline and swears by it.

Hope that helps!

This Golfing Life

Michael Bamberger has been writing about golf for “Golf Digest” and “The Philadelphia Inquirer” for over twenty years, and for the past ten years has been a senior writer for “Sports Illustrated.” He has also lived the game as few others have — from his experience as one of the first white, college-educated caddies in 1985, to hanging out with Arnold Palmer at this year’s Masters. “This Golfing Life” brings together Bamberger’s acclaimed, intimate profiles of stars such as Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and John Daly, as well as the behind-the scenes people who make the game what it is: In his last round of golf before an amputation, Bamberger’s high school golf coach John Sifaneck makes his first hole-in-one; Bob Rubin, a Wall Street master-of-the-universe, builds his own golf course — one so difficult he can’t break 100 on it; Howdy Giles, Arnold Palmer’s dentist, has ball markers made from Palmer’s old fillings; Bruce Edwards continues to caddie for Tom Watson while dying of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Bamberger interweaves these stories with his own life in a way that will remind golfers why they love the game.

What’s the best golf course review site?

Am looking to find golf courses when I’m traveling on vacation this summer, and interested in finding a website that rates courses by the golfers who play them. Thanks in advance for your help.

Golf digest and golf magazine both rank courses by state and nationally. I am not sure if they are available on their websites though.
