Are there any places some people on here may recommend for buying used clubs.

I will not just google it for the chance of fakes and I would rather deal with a reputable place a lot of people have had positive experiences with.

Thanks

I have bought (and sold) a lot of clubs on ebay.  I have had very good luck, and it is a great way to try-out different brands of clubs (that are not available to demo anymore).

There are a lot of reputable sellers of clubs on ebay.  Just do your research on sellers and buy with paypal.

In the past I have done that.

Just wasn't sure if anyone has popped up recently doing it outside of ebay with comparable prices.

And yes I am always very careful on EBay, haven't had a bad transaction purchasing yet on there.

Now selling that's a different story.

You should not have an issue. Callaway has more non-Cally clubs that it sells, too.

Both sites have frequent sales.

Kind of a competitor to this site but golfwrx.com has a really good classified section that gets a lot more action than the one here (this site is better of course!  :) ) .  I just got a used set of Ping G10's on there for a really good price.  I'd recommend checking it out, they have a good feedback system too so it is pretty safe as long as you are careful and know who you are buying from.  (Always pay with paypal and don't gift the payment or anything like that)

Some very good recommendations, I've had a lot of luck with golfwrx.com's classified section, as well as callawaygolfpreowned.com. Also, Globalgolf.com and 3balls.com are good resources. I've purchased from all 4, with great results.

I haven't heard of any lefty fakes, not sure that's because China doesn't consider lefties a big enough market or it's just reported less based on percentages.

I've never had a problem with eBay.  Bought almost all of my club that I have now from different sellers on the site, but like it has been said before, make sure you do your research.  What is the lowest price might not be the best transaction, and so on.  Look for positive customer feedback for a lot of the sellers... I'll shut up b/c I'm sure you know what you to do if you've been on there.

Ive always bought off of Ebay and have had good luck with it.  You just need to make sure that you review a sellers feedback and pay with Paypal.

I've bought my last three sets off Ebay, but like others have said above, do your research first. My local Golfsmith also sells clubs, but horribly overpriced and often in worse shape than those I've bought on Ebay. FYI.

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
