callaway razr hawk

[5ironkid]

hey guys. im wondering what your input is on the callaway razr hawk driver. i tried this driver, the callaway razr x black and my current driver (ft-5). i hit the razr hawk best and i really like the feel at impact. also, im thinking of ordering through callaway preowned instead of through dicks or ebay since the msrp is 400 (dicks has it for 300) and ebay u dont know if it is real. the good quality stiff 10.5 degree is 195 but 175 with the 15 percent discount they have. what is good quality compared to average quality from experience? thanks

Average has idiot marks on the the top of it.  Good USUALLY doesn't just sole and face wear.

As someone who has purchased from callaway preowned several times, all drivers, and most of them having "average" condition classification, not one had any skymarks or chips in the paint.  If they were rated on a scale from 1 to 10, they all would have been 8.5.  Maybe I have been lucky so far, but the worst one only had a couple of scratches on the sole, which was the tour burner tp.  If it didn't have a black sole, they wouldn't have been really noticeable at all.  Drivers tend to be in better than average condition as they are used less than other clubs.  I would expect a set of irons that have been marked as average to have a bit more wear though.  The one that had a "good" rating would easily be a 9 out of 10.  Like I said in an other post, callaway preowned is the only place I will buy a club without actually seeing it first, they have my utmost confidence.

My supertri and my 3 wood are only 2 hours away (nearest UPS depot, yuck!), so I am expecting delivery today (I hope!), or tomorrow at the latest.  The driver was listed as average condition, and the 3 wood as good, so I can post a pic for you when they come in, to give you an idea of what to expect.

I've only purchased one club off that site that was categorized as GOOD condition.  The shaft was perfect and it had a new grip.  No serious issues with the head, but there were some sky marks on it.  I felt good about it considering the price.  Now i mainly shoot for the clubs in "LIKE NEW" condition, as they have all been in the same condition you'd get them in from the store.

Sorry...I meant to say AVERAGE not GOOD.

Clubs arrived Wednesday afternoon.  Looks like I forgot to d/l the r9 crown pic, but it is in mint condition, with barely a mark on the face.  I had the conditions backwards as well.  The r9 was listed as "good", and the r11 was "average".

r9 sole:

r11 crown, excellent condition for average.

r11  ASP shows some paint wear, also on the face and leading edge, but isn't noticeable from address.  This is actually the most wear I have ever seen on an "average" item, but I am still pleased with it, none the less.

i got the razr hawk in the mail. i had it in good condition but the club has some skymarks and bag wear on the shaft. anyway to fix the skymarks other than sharpie?

[moparman426]

If they aren't too deep, a good quality (Mother's) cleaner wax can remove them, most of the time.  Be sure not to get any on the club face though.  The stuff is normally used to remove oxidization from dull vehicle paint.

ok. do you think they mighthave accidently sent a wrong club from a different catagory?

[moparman426]

Actually, after seeing your pics, it doesn't look that bad at all.  I was almost expecting to see gouges in the paint.

oh ok. i was just kinda worried. i tend to be like that alot
