Bought several clubs from Callawaypreowned, including drivers, fairway woods and irons, both Callaway brand and other brands.  Satisfied with all purchases so far, and excellent service and support over the phone.  It's the only place I will buy a club without seeing it first.  Several threads here on the subject as well.  Try calling them before you order, as they usually have some inventory that isn't listed.

Forgot to mention, they have a 1 year warranty on any clubs they sell, no matter what brand it is.

I bought a putter from there and a buddy of mine bought a used set of Callaway X20s a while back. I think it's a good site to buy used clubs. I'd trust it over ebay for sure.

I have bought from them a couple times. I am very pleased with their service. There are alot of times when you can get really good deals from them.

What I like best is that before you put the club in the cart, you can click on customize and choose different grips that they can put on for you. That way I don't have to regrip the club once I get it at home.

I've bought clubs from them a few times, mostly iMix heads and shafts when they ran great deals.  Overall they have quality products at good prices.  If you monitor their site they will run some really good specials where you can really save some money (picked up new Diablo Octane driver for my son for $60).  If you want Callaway products they are one of the best but their non-Callaway offering is limited and usually not priced very competively.

Virtually all of my wife's clubs came from Callaway Pre-Owned and several in my bag as well.    When I am looking for a club, that is the first place I check because their prices are hard to beat.     I've always stuck with the "like new" and "very good" options and have gotten some fantastic clubs that way.    Several of the "like new", were in reality, new clubs that were never sold, complete with the price stickers still on them!   As was already mentioned, there is a one year warranty on clubs from them as well.  If you are buying Callaway brand clubs through them, they will come with a certificate of authenticity and a note that the club is now registered with them in your name.

Usually late fall is when their off-brand inventory is at it's peak, and yes, it is really low right now.  My R9 Supertri and R11TP 3 wood were cheaper there than TM's official used site, and I'm not talking a couple of dollars either.  TM's used site also doesn't ship to the Great White North either

They also include the CoA with other brands as well.  Everything I have ever bought from them had it.

I am not a Cally fan-boy either, most of the stuff I bought from them was either Taylormade or Titleist,

Callaway pre-owned is legit. I've ordered several clubs & their conditions have always been better than I expected. I know it's tough to buy "sight-unseen" but I'll certainly do it through them.

Between myself and a couple golf buddies, we've purchased probably half a dozen clubs of all different condition levels, and they've all worked out.  The "fair" condition club is exactly what they say - cosmetically less than perfect, but but fine functionally.  Are there likely to be some minor degredations in length or overall performance?  Sure, but for anyone not a single digit handicapper, not enough to matter IMO.

Callaway sees the club before you buy it. The ratings are very accurate. If a club is so beat up it won't work right, CPO won't resell it.

All clubs from CPO come with new grips.

So is it necessary to "customize" the grip at all?

Only if you want a different grip than what is put on by default.

I have also purchased extensively from Callaway Preowned.  Great service.  I've actually had to send back a driver that started to come apart, they cross-shipped a replacement overnight after one call.  That was 6 months after I purchased it.

Have purchased several clubs from them - like new is new - I typically stick to the two highest categories. No problems and they typically have sales. At the moment, they have a 50% off sale on many items - in its last days.

I bought a driver from them that was listed in about the worst condition they had,  and it appeared new when I received it minus the smallest nick on the top/toe of the face (really tiny)  the grip appears to have been used for 2-3 rounds.....  basically new.

How are they selling these drivers for so cheap? They're selling the Razr Hawk for $148. That's crazy.

They are the outlet for Callaway so they get the returned / left over stock.  It's last years model which Callaway already took the hit on the cost to build last year.  Their goal is to clear up inventory space and generate some revenue for this year.

I got back into golf last year, and I can't say enough good things about Callaway pre-owned. Looking to build my set on the cheap, I bought my irons, Taylormade R7's, for about $150 on a sale, and have also since upgraded from the site with a lob wedge, Odyssey putter and last week bought a Diablo Octane FW for under $50 with their latest sale.

All clubs have been in great shape, including the ones purchased in the lowest condition (I don't care too much about the cosmetic blemishes).

On grips:

This isn't always the case. My lob wedge is from about 2002 and still has the original grip on it, which is in need of replacing.

My advice is to wait for a sale before buying unless you really need something or see a great deal, because every other week they are running something.

I bought my previous 3w from the site.  It had the idiot mark on the top as advertised, but I got a year old club for 25% of new.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
