I understand that Callaway uses the CAD/CAM system to manufacture its golf clubs. What happens, in terms of Callaway meeting delivery dates, if that system breaks down?

Yes, well CAD/CAM allows Callaway to develop computer models to actually carve out club heads for testing.

Callaway offers a complete servicing and warranty package to all of the on-course pro shops, retail golf stores, and sporting goods department stores who sell our product. We support all of our products with a lifetime warranty and closely minitors any product breakage or defects should occur.

2) Oshman’s considered stocking Callaway clubs several years ago. When we polled our customers, the response we received that the club did not feel solid when it struck the ball.

They eliminated the hosel of the clubhead and bored the shaft all the way to the bottom of the clubhead. This redistributed the weight of the clubhead to increase the effective mass behind the clubface portion of the clubhead...
