I looked at a used driver once in their store in Indy but a couple things turned me off real quick. One, they had no idea if the length, loft and lie was correct, and they wanted to charge me $14.99 to have it checked and they had no headcover. The price was also a little high given what they offer in trade in value. Nothing wrong with making money but they were marking up the used clubs as much as 80% above what they were offering in trade value on the same club.
With used clubs you have no idea what the previous owner did with it as far as specs go. I like new when it comes to golf clubs. |

I actually bought a used Taylor Made '08 Burner from them last year. I think I paid around $70 for it. The condition of the club was fine for a used one. The only thing bad about it was the grip that was on there. It looked like the original grip and was in really bad shape. I was planning on regripping it when it came in anyway, so it wasn't that big of a deal to me. Other than that, the club was in good condition.

I bought a Callaway wedge at the local Golfsmith. It was in great condition, and I hit it pretty well. The price on it was OK but as a general rule I don't buy anything at GS. Their prices are high on nearly everything I've looked at. Their clearance prices make me laugh, and their used prices make me want to vomit most of the time. Combine that with horrendous customer service, and it becomes a great place to go hit clubs I want to purchase elsewhere. Here in Raleigh, NC we are "LUCKY" to have one of the largest GS's in the country. But if you go in there make sure are pristinely dressed in full golf regalia or no one will look at you!

I have had both good and bad experiences with them. I stopped buying used clubs from them online after being sent a used driver that was purported to be in good shape but was beat up and had a big gouge out of the shaft just above the hosel. Wouldn't hesitate to go into one of their brick and mortar stores and buy new clubs from them, if the price was right but no more used online.

I know they are a reputable dealer, but since they dont really have any grading or anything showing the conditions of the used clubs, I wanted to know if anyone had any experiences buying used clubs ont heir site? Specifically drivers? |

I have never purchased on-line from them, one of my playing partners bought a set of Callaway X20's that where near mint condition, and still had the OEM sticker on the shaft, I have bought in store on occation, and Golf Galaxy is right next door so I compare prices. Over the winter I purchased from Golf Galaxy a Taylormade Superfast Burner with a Mitisubushi Fubuki stiff shaft for $85.00 and while I was checking out I saw the correct headcover in a box behind the counter , ask the sales lady about it and she handed it to me at no charge. They are now my favorite golf store

Used R11 - $339 Used 49 Niblick - $81 Not near enough savings for a used club to keep me from purchasing new. |
