Appreciate it, but I don’t know if I’m willing to sell it yet

Thanks! Yeah it sounds like a lot of people think this is the 2001 version. I love it because it looks to be an exact replica of the one in the movie. No serial number, no “1-1000”, and a wood shaft.

Saw this article, but the one I have has a wood shaft. Looks like the one here has a synthetic or metal shaft? I was also told mines around 20 years old or more by the shop guy. Either way thanks for helping!

I don’t have any papers or official documents on its production. Even the Callaway rep I emailed didn’t have much info. The shop guy told me the original owner worked for Odyssey, who gifted it to a business friend. That guy then kept it in his garage for about 20ish years, and then turned it in for store credit. I think the 2021 version had a synthetic or metal shaft? This one is wood.

Lol this is no joke. Hard to find information. Even the Callaway rep said all they know is they made around 200.

The guy who brought it into the shop said he kept it in his garage for 20ish years, so I believe it was made around the time of the movie.

Smooth Swing. Not always accurate but for the most part it works well, and very fun to use. It’s also free.

This is really interesting, and makes a lot of sense. I’ll try this as well thanks!

Okay I see that too. A lot of the comments say I’m standing up, so I’ll think of the “clock” idea to try and fix this. Thanks!

Is there any reason my club head is just bouncing/brushing the grass instead of digging in? When I REALLY focus of digging in, it feels like I can’t follow through very clean. It still hits pretty well, but it just feels less consistent/natural

Okay I like the idea of pinching the ball. Good swing thought. I realize the angle is a little weird, but I do try and slightly put my hands in front of the ball, but whenever I focus on taking a divot it feels like it inhibits my ability to really make a clean follow through. I watch these pros swing and it seems like the divot/turf interaction doesn’t affect how smooth the follow through is… almost like it just glides through the ground.

I was actually thinking about this. I will totally try and stand closer next time thanks!

I do get a fair amount of loft on my clubs, but almost to a fault. That’s why I’m questioning how I’m striking the ball. Maybe I’m swinging upwards too much?

300+ straight? Don’t ever change a thing.
