What I mean is within the past month, Callaway Pre-Owned - which has offered other mfgrs. clubs in the past - has apparently launched a new site not branded "Callaway". What I "hope" is that this means they will have a greater selection of other mfgrs. clubs as I think these are some of the best deals (overall) out there.

Gotcha!

I could have sworn I'd head of ProLine before. (But it's a very common sounding name. I'm most likely just confusing it with something else.) Hey, if it leads to more good used clubs with the same Callaway service standing behind them . . . then I'm all for it. Thanks for the info.

...If you go to that Proline url or click on that image you are taken to the proline site. This site appears to mirror the offerings on the Callaway Pre-owned site.

I'm not so sure; a couple of minutes ago I searched for Titleist 690MB forged irons and I found four sets on Proline Preowned and zero sets on Callaway Preowned.

Well that is what is was doing 2 weeks ago when I was trying to buy G5 driver. But who knows. They do have the same postal address.

Yeah have been looking at prolinepreowned.com for the last couple of days and will probably order a set of irons from them in the next couple of weeks. If any body has ordered from them before, please let me know. I will post if i decide to order from them.

I just ordered another club from Callaway Pre-owned (an X Forged Wedge). This will be my 6th club from them and first wedge.

I just feel very comfortable with this store. I have only bought Callaway items so I'd be interested to hear how the "other brands" stack up from anyone who has ordered from them or from their other site "Proline".

I am especially interested in anyone who has bought Vokey Wedges from them with respect to the condition and playability.

Thanks,
Paul

I use 3balls.com . Everything I have bought is in better condition than what they have said

Curious about your scorecard - how did you go from a 96 in early Aug to a 72 in mid Sept on the same course? Only page 1 of your card can be viewed, and between Mar and Aug, you scored between 91 - 96. Was the 9/15/08 score not loaded (did it default to par) - or did you discover the most amazing golf improvement product / trick in ~ 6 weeks?

Just curious...how did you do it??

My playing partner swears by Callaway Preowned and has had great success. Even when the clubs were rated as good..they came in great! He has purchased Titliest gear as well with just as much satisfaction as the Callaway's. They often have great deals and specials...you can go wrong.

I noticed that as well, and looking deeper, it seems very unlikely that he went 18 straight pars. But maybe it can be done. I guess it really doesn't matter. But maybe PM him next time instead of going off topic Back on: I looked at Callaway pre-owned and it seems like a lot of their stuff seems pretty beat up. I'd trust them because of their reputation, but because you don't really buy it directly from the seller, it seems iffy to me.

When you say it seems beat up, are you talking about the condition that's stated?

I ordered my Mizuno MP-33's from them and the conditions were listed as "average." I read a couple threads on here and they were talking about how the clubs looked a lot better than what Callaway Golf Preowned said. So I took the chance and bought them. Lo and behold, my clubs came in and they were what I would describe as "Great" condition. There were some marks but nothing average about them. They even has brand new Golf Pride grips on them too! Callaway Golf Preowned get's two thumbs up from me. Shipping was also super quick. All the way from Texas to Pa in about 4 days.

I've purchased two sets of irons, a driver, and a 3W, 5W, and 7W from Callaway Pre-owned, and got exactly what was advertised. They have a lot of good overstock -- essentially new items in the outlet -- that sell for a lot less than the clubs go for elsewhere. Good service, too.

As far as trade-in value, you get the same sort of trade in you get from Callaway itself on the trade-in, trade up: you'll get around $300 - $330 for 3-PW of new clubs in good shape, which is more like 35-40% of what you would pay for them new now.

      Been Wondering About This Ruling for Years

      By mdl ·

      I agree that if a lefty swing was reasonable, then that part of the situation is fine. As in, if the ball were pretty close to the bush so that a right handed swing was blocked but far enough away that he had a clear strike at the ball left handed, then I think that's a fair thing to do. But then, as Erik said, assuming that the cart path in question is wide enough to accommodate driving a standard golf cart on it, then NPR is certainly on the desert side of the path. Anyone know what the penalty is for taking an illegal drop in this way (not at the NPR)? One question I have, @iacas said the NPR was probably in the bush. Do you not have to be able to take a reasonable shot from a spot for it to count as a relief point? Assuming the NPR is in the bush, would he be allowed to determine NPR given the lefty swing but then actually drop the ball behind and towards the cart path from the NPR to give himself a right handed shot that wasn't blocked by the bush? Here he would be determining NPR given the proposed lefty shot, but then taking the actual drop in a place where he wouldn't get full relief for the lefty shot. Is that legal. To be more extreme, what if the OB line were 18 inches into the desert from this cart path. If you take relief for a lefty swing, is the NPR OB, since your feet fit in bounds on the desert side of the cart path? Or does OB not count as a relief point so there you'd get to drop on the grass side of the path. Assuming that's true, is it then legal to do what the OP's friend did, which is drop in the grass to get relief from a lefty swing, then set up for a righty swing and take relief again into the fairway?

      Day 246 (5 Jan 25) - - Super short game session today - 54° at 10-15 yds max.  Real simple - pick a target landing point near the “pin” and get the ball to release toward the same.  Focused on set up and engaging the club’s bounce - the club performed nicely - a few near dunks, one hop in the hole, and lots of finishes inside a 10’ radius of the pin.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 26: 1/5/2025 I got feedback from Yoda on my swing videos I sent him and he pointed out two things.  First was a direction and amount of a weight shift I've been working on, so I'll have to tweak that a bit.  Second, (This one I was aware of, but I'm glad he pointed it out, that makes me feel like I can at least somewhat self diagnose my problems.) I got a hitch at the top that I've worked on eliminating, or at least reducing, and it's back. The hitch and my hand-path are sort of my perpetual-swing-nemeses.  So, today it's back to the mirror. And lots of slow motion swings. Focusing on direction and volume of a weight shift as well as eliminating the hitch at the top.  I'm excited about where my swing is going. I "feel" like it's improving. Time will tell if feel is real in this case.

      Lighter Grips and Backweights

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      So, swing wight on a Ping G430 I think is like D0. Lightening the grip by 6 grams will move it one swing weight higher... D1.  Personally, I can't tell the difference of just one swing weight point. Normally it takes 2 or more likely 3 points for me to notice. Others, however, say that they can feel 1/2 of a swing weight point.  I'd probably just leave it, but if you can feel the difference, you could add a 5 gram butt weight. Your other option, of course, is to just replace the rear weight in the B430 head with one that's 2 grams lighter and you will counteract the 1 swing-weight-point. (Rule of thumb: 2 grams in the head = 1 swing weight point. 5 grams in the grip = 1 swing weight point.)  You can google "Ping G430 driver head weights" and get sources to get just about any mass of weight you desire.

      It probably depends on you. I would say just use the driver for at least a handful of rounds. Give yourself a chance to get acclimated. And see if you notice a difference.
