Modern clubs are built to the bleeding edge of what manufacturing is capable of. Modern clubs will generally be more prone to breaking than something from 10 years ago. It’s one of the prices of maximizing performance.
That said, call up Callaway and see if they will work with you assuming this is from a manufacturing defect and not misuse.
Edit: This comment thread turned kinda wild over a broken golf club. We’re philosophizing if a warranty exchange is capitalism or not.

It happens from time to time with these hollow headed forged face irons. Just take it back to your retailer or contact Callaway, you won’t have any issues getting a new one.

Forged huh, I guess that term doesn’t mean what it use to.

Never had a face pop off, but on my hollow body p790s the faces would cave all the time
I see so many clubs broken on this sub now days. Seems crazy to me.

The “forged” in the photo is actually the chefs kiss.
If you are really old, don’t play much or care, cant get the ball up or whatever, I totally get the GI club appeal. That said, I think most people would be well served with just a nice single piece forged iron in a shape that floats their boat.

Not a carbon face either, interesting.

Callaway will definitely make this right. They have impeccable customer service. I know because I have dealt with them, very positively, and they stand by their products. Call them directly and let them know what’s going on and I promise you will be happy with the conversation.

I heard clubs work better if they aren’t broke. Could be just me though 🤷🏻
What do you expect when you buy fake Chinese knock offs that anyone can put a stamp on??
Oh wait… wrong subreddit. Sorry this happened to you.

My paradym irons all broke in the hosel one by one. Once Calloway replaced them they never broke again yet they would not replace as manufacturing defect. Then about a year later my 8 iron face crushed. They offer about 30% off the current sets, decided it wasn’t worth it to deal with that again and went another brand new
