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 play golf and i want to build up strength in my golf swing i go to a gym so the variety of equipment is huge which one will benefit me most
everything, just make sure you are limber. tiger woods benches over 250 lbs and works out 4 times a week. strng core muscles are good for satbility as well as legs. triceps and forearm muscles are good for power and cinsistency. but mostly stay limber more pros do yoga and pilattes than weight train

I go golfing every so often, but mostly at a par 3 what are the best golf balls to use , is there a difference if by a regulation or par3?
You DON’T need Pro V1s. You’re really going to pay 45 bucks a dozen to play par 3s? Don’t get me wrong, I love playing Titleist balls, but until I get better I’ll stick to playing NXTs. My personal opinion is get a ball that feels both soft and explosive off your clubs when you hit them. Usually that means spending about $20 to $25 a dozen. I like any titlleists, and Callaway Big Bertha and HX Hots. A good idea is go to a Play It Again Sports and try a variety of balls for cheap, then decide which ones you like enough to buy new.
If you are still a beginning golfer, you don’t have enough skill to take advantage of expensive balls, just play what feels good and gives you some confidence.

it seems like when i go golfing if i hit a nike or titleiest ball it is always a sucky shot…so then i tried a top-flite ball and i hit the ball almost perfect….so is it just in my mind that im using a better ball so i try harder or are more expensive balls desighned for pros?
The skill level of a player should dictate the type of ball they use. This includes the players desire and ability to spin the ball, and the players swing speed.
You also need to look at the compression of the balls you are buying. If you are a senior player, Wilson has a ball called the 50/50 that is an outstanding ball with a very low compression rate. Meaning you don’t have to swing as fast to compress the ball. If you have a medium swing speed you may want to look at balls that state low compression of the box i.e. noodle and loco. For the players that can swing faster you can play with a variety of other balls.
The construction of the ball also plays a huge factor in the performance of the ball. Most cheap balls are a 2 piece balls. This means that the ball has a cover and a core. These balls are primarily distance balls and don’t give you much spin. They usually run you up to $20 a box. There are also 3 piece hybrid balls. These balls have a core, mantle, and cover. The mantles primary purpose is to create spin for the shot. These balls are usually around $25 a box. Then you have a 3-piece normal ball. The difference here is the cover of this ball is made of a higher quality material to grip the grooves on the club better creating more spin. They can run you around $50 a box. The only four piece ball currently on the market is the Nike one platinum. This ball has and additional mantle, again adding to the spin rate you achieve on the ball. I personally feel this is the best ball on the market and apparently so does Tiger Woods. These ball cost $40 a box.
So, yes the ball makes a huge difference in your game. Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I’m a beginner to the game (only been playing for 4 months) but have picked the pick up very quickly and have fallen in love with it!! I bought some cheap Srixon replicas to start playing with but have already started to out play them (shooting in the 80’s) and want to buy some King Cobra FP irons. My mate has a set and they fell great and I’m real keen to buy some over eBay and save close to $400 in doing so compared to buying from a pro shop.
Is there a way of determining what lie and loft suits your swing without having to consult with a pro. I feel bad having a pro wasting his time in sizing me up only to have me buy the clubs off eBay.
Can anyone help… even a rough guess will satisfy. I’m 25, 6.1”, and I’m hitting my 5 iron consistently at 180m and having no difficulties in getting height with the ball.
I’m looking to have these clubs see me through for a few years and hopefully will see me hitting some real low scores. Any help will be appreciated

Glad to hear you are learning fast and playing well. You have a couple of good questions that can be addressed and I would suggest that you consider a few more before locking yourself into any particular set of clubs.
Regarding lofts, you say you are having no difficulty in getting height on your shots so standard lofts should be OK. Loft however can be tweaked by about +/-2 degrees in most clubs if you find you need to adjust loft to make the distance gap equal between your clubs. You won’t know this until you get your set and try them.
Lie is another parameter that will need to be checked and adjusted after you buy your set. Regardless of your height, most folks have arms that are proportional to their height so a normal length set of clubs fits most folks. It is your swing plane that will dictate if you need an adjustment.
I admire your desire not to take advantage of a pro by taking up their time and then purchasing clubs elsewhere. However, there are many parameters of a golf club that can only be determined with a fitting specialist and a launch monitor. These guys typically charge for a custom fitting so you don’t have to worry about taking advantage of them. It may be the best money you will spend.
Since you ask about loft I assume you are interested in obtaining a specific ball flight pattern. Club loft is only one part of what determines ball flight. The flex of the shaft, flex point of the shaft, soft or weak tip, high or low torque shaft, and the low or high center of gravity of your club head also greatly determine the trajectory of your shots. The best combination of these parameters can best be determined by a fitting specialist and a launch monitor. That will allow you to try all the various combinations until you find one that provides exactly what you want out of your set.
Additionally you will be able to determine what swing weight of club allows you to have the best feel of where the club head is during your swing and the one that helps you to square the club at impact. Also, you can determine if swinging a club where the overall weight is a little greater or less than normal will help you to smooth your swing and still obtain maximum club head speed.
As a benefit, during your fitting you will get a chance to find out which of these combinations will let you vary the trajectory and work the ball side to side when needed and still hit your favorite "go to" shot when nothing fancy is required.
As you learn more about golf you will see that most of the performance of a club is due to the shaft that is chosen. The general public focuses on the club head because it is easier to see variations in the geometry that the manufacturer’s all claim to be the best.
Club heads are important but the shaft is really the key. Get a good fitting to determine the proper shaft / club head that fits your swing. Then buy the set that the most closely matches your needs or have a set made specifically for you. Golfsmith and others have very good selections of components that can make a perfectly customized set of clubs to exactly fit your needs. As a bonus, you’ll generally find a custom set costs no more than a big name set off the rack. When you get your new clubs spend some time getting used to them and learn the distances you hit each club – especially the irons. Then, take them into a golf shop and adjust the lie to fit your swing and tweak the loft if required to have exactly the gap you want between each iron.
You’ll be on your way to playing the best golf you possibly can. From that point on it will just be a mater of polishing your technique and becoming consistent.

i spend hours looking at reviews for golf clubs, but what i need is a driver which i can get some decent consistency with and not TOO concerned about length.
i play off 7 and finding the right driver for me would be the next step down i guess…
any possible driver suggestions?
Just depends on club/shaft combination as well. The straightest for me so far has been the Taylormade R7 425 TP, but the TP is expensive. The regular Taylormade R7425 is only like 225$ on ebay now. I have one with a USTV2 shaft, which is great. Also, for accuracy purposes, I would look at the Callaway FTI series. Those were very accurate, especially with the Mitsubishi Diamana shafts. Go to your local golf store and try out some different club/shaft combo’s if possible. Once you find what you want, try looking on ebay for great deals.
Hope this helps…

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!

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.

Two guys I know were failed by their teacher, so they decided to shove a golf ball and two paper balls in the teacher’s gas tank. Will that even do anything to the car?
You could get a golf ball into some diesel trucks like F-250’s, but not a gas powered car. These guys are probably lying to you because they’re pathetic and insecure. Get new friends that aren’t losers.
