tvangel Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Now this a true unscientific approach, but I am still convinced of manufacturing issues with Callaway.

CrazyGolfNut Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Thanks for doing that. We were told that they had the problem fixed. It looks better but not as good as most would think it should be.

tvangel Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Certainly not impressed with QC from Callaway. I wonder what the percentage is for the defective merchandise in 2020 versus the 2019 product. 1 Quote Driver: Titleist 917 D3 3 Wood: Titleist 917 F2 Hybrid: Titleist 816 H2 Irons: Ping iBlade (4-P) Wedges 50*, 54*, 58* Volkey SM6 Putter: Odyssey White Hot Pro #9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerospace_ray Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I really like the fact that the consumer and entities like MGS have identified irregularities within golfball industry. However, while a blatantly off-center core is obvious I do wish someone would identify what the precise numbers should be. For example in the video the person that cut the balls mentions "half a millimeter". I would like to know what is the manufacturing tolerances or what numbers would emphatically tell the consumer that if a ball is off-center x amount, then the consumer will likely experience wobbles on putts, less backspin on wedges, guaranteed side spin off irons, etc. I just want to know which brands are repeat offenders and which ones are in family regarding acceptable specs> (i.e. there may be some variances but not enough to worry about). I have played many versions of Callaway balls over the last few years and have no perceived issues--granted my swing/game is not the best to base that on but for me all is well. I do expect companies to produce the best product available and am very thankful for MGS and its testing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shredder Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) I don’t know anything about golf ball production, but it’s less than 20 thousands of an inch off according to the off hand measurement. With multiple pieces in the golf ball and being it’s not a machined product I would think any ball could be off that much. I too wonder what tolerance is acceptable and if some of the other premium balls are perfect or similar.

ballplayer002003 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 It's because they spent all their money on their super computer for the Flash Face tech, they didn't have enough cash to center the cores. 1 Quote Driver: Epic Flash Sub Zero Hzdrs Smoke x flex 70g 3 Wood: 917 w/ Diamana Whiteboard stiff 5 Wood : Epic Flash 18* Hzdrs Smoke stiff 4 Hybrid: TSi3 Hzdrs Smoke X flex Irons: 5-7 Apex forged 19 w/ Modus 120 X 9-A Apex Pro 19 w/ Modus 120 X Wedges: MD5 52&56 Jaws Dynamic Gold wedge flex Putter: Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.5 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
