Used Golf Clubs one of the best investments a golfer can make in their game AND in their budget.
Callaway Outlet Center sells all Preowned Brands for smart people.
Buying used Golf Clubs is just plain smart.
New Clubs, just like a new car, lose value as soon as you walk out of the store with them.
However, used clubs are just as good and are MUCH less expensive - ESPECIALLY when you buy online.Buy at Callaway Clearance Center and get Ebay prices without the RISK .

I am allowed to bring my golf club (driver) with me on an airline flight?
High ball flight with new clubs?
I bought a new set of MX-25’s to replace my Taylor Made Supersteels. I believe the lofts on the MX to be the same if not lower on some of my Supersteels. Anyway, I was hitting them at the range and on the course and my ball flight was quite high. I DO have a high ball flight to begin with, not crazy high but high. My old Supersteels, I hit my 9 Iron about 140. 7 about 160. Both with relatively little roll. On the new Mizzy’s, I’m hitting some clubs the same length if not 5 yards shorter…hard to tell. But the flight is higher for sure.
What options should I explore:
1) de-loft the clubs
2) change shafts
3) fix my swing
4) go back to my supersteels
I’d rather go in that order…but which will be more effective for me? And I’d rather not mess with my swing – being a new Dad, I don’t have THAT much time for golf anymore. 
Thanks for the feedback thus far. Allow me to provide more details.
High ball fight is noticed pretty much all the time so head and tail winds aren’t really a factor. Both shafts on my TM’s and Mizzy’s are reg flex and the latter are mid-kick point. I don’t know where the kick point is on the TM’s but I do know that both are Rifle’s.
I wanted to double check the kick on the Mizzy’s so going onto their site, I noitced that the ball flight for the shafts I have are ‘High’. I think I’ll go with option #3….so maybe I’ll post another question as to how to pick the right shafts. Thanks again!
Spencer –
Very thought out question, when people ask good questions like this it’s easy to point out options.
Still you could have provided more info, like the shaft differences in both sets of clubs….how many times you’ve noticed this higher ball flight, example….was this one day on the range and you were hitting into a 10 mph wind? Or has this been a consistent problem…I ask this because there are a lot of factor that could be contributing to the high ball flight.
However deal with your 1 through 4 and then you’ll have a bit more information to make your decision:
1) Changing the lofts will also change the bounce of your clubs. Bounce basically helps the clubs not to dig into the ground, the more bounce you have the less the clubs will have a tendency to dig. You will be reducing bounce, therefore the clubs will dig more…..depending on what kind of turf you play on this could be good or bad. If you play on a lot of hardpan fairways this may not be too bad. However if you play on soft turf, you may find yourself taking 2 pound beaver pelt divots on full shots….which you don’t want….so be careful messing around with the lofts, those clubs are designed to play with the loft they came from Mizuno with, I wouldn’t bend them.
2) Changing shafts could be a viable option and depending on the shaft could bring down the flight….try looking into flighted rifles….I’m not sure if they’ll fit into your clubs, but a professional clubfitter could tell you…..this will cost a good deal of money….couple hundred.
3) Check your ball position, this is the #1 indicator of what type of flight you’ll have…you should be playing most of the clubs right in the middle of your stance.
4) You’ll have to make the decision on whether to go back to the old clubs……..trial and error…..the true method to figure golf out 
Good Luck!

in your opinion…?
so i was wondering out there, has anyone played the new Bridgestone golf balls… ive been hearing alot of rave reviews about them, but are they actually worth the spending?

I play the b330-s and they are the best balls ive ever played. Bridgestone has the most 400 yard drives on tour and i get GREAT spin with them.

which golf balls should i play with?
Right i used to be adamant on playing with nike golf balls but now i have realised they are for more advanced players than me. When i play i shoot early 90s late 80s. I bought black Diamond golf balls because they were cheap and they have worked pretty well but i want to improve so what balls do you recommend? I am looking for one long off the tee but one thats very soft for spin around the greens?
With today’s balls, there isn’t much difference* between brands (or "tour" models and "cheapies, for that matter). Where it counts (and where the price-point rises) is the difference in spin from 100 yards and in.
There are a decent number of balls in the ‘tween category. Bridgestone’s 330-RX and e5 lines; Callaway’s HX Hot Bite; Titleist’s NXT Tour; Srixon’s AD330; Wilson/Staff’s Tx4, FG Tour and C:25 to name a few.
Buy sleeves of balls that interest you. Take all of them to the course, preferably when it isn’t too busy. Start off 20 or so yards off the green and chip all the balls in your test. Eliminate those that don’t sound, react and feel like what you’d like. Next, go to 50 or so yards and pitch to the hole. Again, eliminate those that aren’t for you. If you have more than two balls left, go to 125 and repeat the test. If you still have balls, go to the tee. If you still have multiple balls to test, go to the putting green. Hit putts, and eliminate those that don’t sound/feel good off the putterface. If there’s still more than one ball, go with the cheapest model as a tie-breaker.
It sounds like it’s an involved test, and it is. But the ability to knock out any "what ifs?" is, in my opinion, pretty important.
*= Nike’s One Platinum was found to be incredibly short (231 yards) off the tee compared to other balls in its genre (it also had the highest spin rate, in rpms, with half-SW shots). The test was based on a driver clubhead speed of 95 mph. At 105 mph, however, it performs just as well as any other ball.

How do I check the year of a Titleist ball?
I found a Titleist Pro V1 ball. How can I identify what year it was made? I understand that the arrows around the "Pro V1 – 392" text are different for each year. Is there a guide that shows the markings for each and every year so I can ID this ball?
Thanks.
well the newest ones don’t say the number of dimples on them, so that is the 07 model because that is the only other model with the arrows

How can i make some money selling golf balls?
I am a member of a golf course and regularly find golf balls, some in good condition. I have quite a lot and would like to make some money by selling them. I have considered selling them to the club shop, on ebay or in a local sports shop. The p+p seems to be too expensive on ebay and i want to know which you think is the best option.
My advice, try the club shop. Fees for selling it on eBay will probably be more than you will actually get for the actual golf balls. The club shop will most likely be more dedicated to golf than the sports shop, and therefore pay a higher price.

LOL; why did Tiger Woods let a dude from South Korea demolish him on the golf course?
A little tiny little asian dude. Tiger got demolished and clowned in front of the whole world on live TV. Why did Tiger allow this to happen?
Tiger Woods has not won a major in over a year – is it fair to say that his days as an elite golfer are done, and that other golfers will beat him in the majors from now on?
Why does Tiger massively suck all of a sudden? Why doesn’t he just stop sucking?
I do not think his best days are behind him at all, in fact his best days may very well be ahead. It was hard to watch him yesterday, he’s never lost a two shot lead on a Sunday at a Major– ever! As huge of a Tiger fan as I am, I must admit he played awfully. Just his decision making was off and his putting was not as sharp as it usually is. He did not read the greens well, whereas he usually sinks those putts to close the door and win.
I think a lot of it has to do with his long lay-off after knee surgery last year, his timing isn’t all the way back yet. He’ll get there, but he’ll have to wait until 2010 to challenge for a Major at the Masters in April.

How do i improve my golf swing?
How do i improve my golf swing?
I am a fairly good golfer i golf 3 times a day i just want a few tips
you could have been a little more descriptive of what you perceive as your problem with your swing…
DISTANCE:
work out more… distance is about strength and club to ball connection… use your hips to DRIVE through the swing… that’s where all of the power comes from…
SLICING:
you’re facing your hips out on your down swing similar to how a baseball player would pull the ball down the opposite field line… tighten your form…
HOOKING:
you’re facing your hips too far inwards…. adjust…. video tape your swing from different angles and watch…
DRIVER POPS UP"
you’re getting too much loft… take a half step up on your approach
DRIVER WORM BURNERS:
you’re club head is hitting the ball too far above the center point… center your club to ball connection…
INTENTIONAL HOOK:
club head contact on right side of ball
INTENTIONAL SLICE:
club head contact on left side of ball
PUTTING DISTANCE:
aside from the obvious (hitting it harder), club head contact on upper portion of ball to create extra spin which can add a couple of feet… play more video game golf… the putting aspect of video games helps you to understand gradients of slope on a putting green and how much one has to compensate…
