Do All Callaway Clubs Have Serial Numbers?
Find your Callaway serial number on the 8-iron's hosel or the heel or your driver or 3-wood
In an effort to stop counterfeiters and clone manufacturers and protect the golfing public, Callaway Golf uses unique serial numbers to identify their clubs.
Iron Sets
Within a set of irons, the serial number can be found on either the hosel or heel of the 8-iron only.
Hybrids, Fairway Woods and Drivers
The serial number is located on the heel of the club. All drivers have serial numbers, but the only fairway woods that have them are the 3-woods.
Identify Fakes
If you are questioning the authenticity of your Callaway club, you may send an e-mail to Callaway's Customer Service Department and provide them the serial number. They will tell you if that serial number matches one of their clubs. However, that does not guarantee that the serial number is not a forgery.
Confirm Authenticity
Callaway clearly states on its website that the only way to guarantee authenticity of your clubs is to purchase them directly through a Callaway authorized retailer.
Here are some clues that so-called Callaway golf clubs may be counterfeit:
- The seller is not an authorized Callaway retailer
- The price is much lower than the manufacturer's retail price
- Seller claims they won the club(s) or don't need them to explain the low price
- You can tell if a carbon crown is authentic or simply painted to appear carbon by tapping it with a metal object. If it makes a high-pitched ping, it's not real carbon.
To eliminate all doubt of authenticity of your Callaway club, you can take the club to an authorized Callaway Golf Retailer for inspection.
