Golf Equpiment Manufacturers Want to Make a Deal, but Are You Willing to Listen?
The economy is clearly taking its toll on the golf manufacturers. Not too long ago layoffs were announced at TaylorMade-Adidas, and yesterday came word that Callaway’s first quarter earnings dropped 83%. My suspicion is that other manufacturers aren’t doing much better. What I’m hearing is that golfers are using what little discretionary income they have [...]
Buy a Callaway Driver, Get a Fairway Wood for $1
At the end of February when I wrote the 2009 Golf Gear Guide, I mentioned at the time that pricing within the golf industry did not reflect current economic conditions. New drivers were still $300 on the low end and $500 on the high end. If there was a recession going on, the golf manufacturers [...]
Qwowi Golf Review: Hands On With the uPro GPS from Callaway
If you’ve checked out Qwowi’s golf section at all before, you’ve probably already read at least one of my numerous posts about the uPro Golf GPS (recently acquired by Callaway). I’ve had my eye on the uPro since it was announced almost a year ago. My take from day 1 has been that the uPro’s [...]
Qwowi’s 2009 Golf Gear Guide: Golf Balls
You can’t play the game without a ball. And there sure are plenty of them on the market. If I spent just 20 minutes looking around I could probably come up with over 100 different golf balls spread out between nearly as many manufacturers. But here we are at the end of week 2 [...]

As I mentioned in my introductory post, this year’s Golf Gear Guide will be a bit different from years past. Instead of breaking the guide down by manufacturer, I’ve decided to do it by category. I made the change for a couple of reasons. Firstly, my hope is it will allow me to include products [...]
Callaway I-Mix Drivers Hit the Market…Almost
A couple of WhatTheDeuce’s favorite stores, The Golf Warehouse, and Golfballs.com are now taking orders for Callaway’s new I-MIX driver system, which will begin shipping around the 25th (March 2008). I’ve mentioned the new interchangeable system of heads and shafts a few times before, because, well, I’m pretty excited about it -although maybe not $600 [...]
WTD’s 2007 Golf Equipment Guide Part 1: Callaway
Callaway Golf (http://www.callawaygolf.com)
Among the pricier of the equipment lines, I’ve always considered Callaway (which includes the Callaway, Top-Flite, Ben Hogan, and Odyssey product lines) to be the rich man’s club. That’s not to say I have any evidence that Callaway is any better or any worse than most of what’s on the [...]
