I'm selling a club on eBay and I was wonder what is the best way to ship the club to keep it safe but for cheap. Where can I get a a long small box? Which shipping service is cheaper UPS or USPS?

If there is a post on this please direct me to it!!

I used to work for UPS in the Northeast Hub. This is probably the worst time to ship a golf club - it’s called “Peak Season” at UPS. The volume swells to 200% the average daily volume. That means lots of parcels on the belts and lots of pissed-off proletariat workers. But if you must ship a golf club; make sure to fill all the empty space with either bubble-wrap or packing paper so that the integrity of the oblong box stays in tact and the club doesn't bounce around inside, tape it like you were wrapping an Egyptian mummy, and use DHL.

Not sure about the shipping companies and costs. However, if you go to a local pro shop or golf store, more than likely they will have a room full of boxes and will let you take your pick. Most places I have seen will have a closet or spot in the backroom with old boxes just in case they have to ship something.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

If you simply can't find a box, go to a pro shop, or a golf galaxy or the like and just ask if you could have a box big enough to ship what your shipping. I also agree to do your best to fill the void within the box. Def. less chance for damage.

      Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow.

      Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills.

      That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness.

      Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.

      Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
