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 .
Both of us have our own profiles on the Playstation 3, and on Tiger Woods 09. Any help would be great, because we don’t want to have to make a community profile, and waste time getting 2 golfers better a peice.
if u have 2 ps3s u can play each other online there is no way in hell u can play in accounts in the ps3 at once sorry but the truth hurts and is annoying its not what u wanted to hear but its the truth and the answer

I’ve heard from someone through a casual conversation that he mentioned that Titleist Pro V1 need high swing speed inorder to get the distance out of the ball. Is this true? If so, then what are the balls that dont require high swing speed and yet can reduce the chances of getting a slice?
Word of advice, don’t listen to anyone when it comes to golf technology except if that someone engineers golf technology. The titleist Pro-v1 and Pro-v1x are like any other golf ball. You hit them square and they go far and jump off of your clubface. That’s how they work. What that person heard and was regurgitating to you was this… When you swing your club, as the clubhead approaches 70+ mph there are affects of components. Most equipment is designed to show benefits at clubhead speeds of 70 mph or more. Some of the more expensive or differently labelled (ladies, senior, etc.) this speed may vary. But for men’s equipment it is that speed. Now what I mean by affects of components are this: shaft flex plays a factor, shaft kickpoint, and the type of ball and how it compresses as well as the hardness of its shell comes into play. That’s it. When you hear about the equipment that only works at certain speeds it’s only about half true. The schnazzy shaft you buy or the $45/doz balls you want will work, but if you can’t swing your club faster than 70 mph it doesn’t really change the results. Now, as for a ball that helps with a slice, that does exist. The pro-v1x has less spin, also it has less spin on short shots. What does this mean? In simplest terms, the urethane cover on the outside of this ball is hard, harder than that of its mate the pro-v1. Try to remember back to 9th grade science, when the density of something is greater than another, the subject with greater density will scratch the subject with lesser density. This translates into the idea that because the v1x’s urethane cover is much more dense it is less "scratched" or grabbed by the clubhead and comes off of the clubhead with less spin, sidespin, backspin or topspin. Therefore it reduces the affects of a glancing blow. This is how it reduces the INTENSITY of your slice. There are no balls that reduce the "chances." If you impose the ball with backspin accompanied by clockwise spin (rightey) the ball will slice. Hope that answers your question.

No matter what place Tiger Woods may be in during any given tournament, why are the other golfers challenging him? Why isin’t Tiger the challenger? Is this because the announcers have to justify the statement that he is as great as Jack Nicklaus? Maybe I’m naive, but shouldn’t we wait till the end of an athletes career to compare him to another in history? I’m watching the U.S. Open and after submitting this, turning the sound down!
Tiger is simply the best golfer on tour period. By being the best you will "always" get challenged from others. You are the one they are gunning for (out to get). Whether he wins a tournament or not, he has the best all around game from any player out there.
A good example is Federer in tennis. May not always win every tennis tournament but since he’s number one, everyone is looking to beat him.

My friends and me went into a creek and we ended up finding 266 golf balls within 2 days and i’m, not sure how to clean them. Any good suggestions on how to sell them would be great.
Is there like somewhere were i could sell them?
i always find it easy to put the golf balls in a bucket with a little bit of bleach and some dish soap. i let them soak a day or two then clean them with a tooth brush. this works great they get really really clean. For selling prices it depends on what kind of golf balls you have!! hope this helps

Seems like the mass media and golf gurus are especially sensitive when it comes to comments about his majesty Tiger woods.
I think they are. IMO anyone related to golf is afraid to make ANY negative comments about King Tiger because I think he is very petty and CANNOT take criticism. In the past Tiger has allegedly stiffed analysts who were simply doing their jobs and critiquing his swing.
To be honest I think Tiger acts like a bully under the veil of being golf’s great gentleman. I am shocked that so many people still think he is a gentleman.
All you have to do is watch one tournament and observe his lack of etiquette on the course (foul mouth, club throwing, stare downs, leaving the putting green as his playing partner is putting). I think his etiquette has been appalling for years and he is still considered exemplary . . . probably because people will be cast as racist if they criticize his behavior.
Since Tiger is a minority in the traditionally whitest of white sports, a lot of people are uber sensitive to the prospect of racism. This incident just show that a lot of people carry and play the race card.
I don’t mean any offense, but I think this is a big issue because Tiger is black. Asians died building much of the North American railroad tracks, but if an Asian (say Chinese) golfer was involved, I don’t think the uproar would be so huge!
If the TV analyst said, "The golfers today that want to beat this Asian golf superstar should ‘railroad’ him with dynamite," few people would pay attention.

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
Cheer
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 just bought the new titleist 907 d2 and i admit its easy to hit but i just pulled out my 975 J from the garage and im a 2 handicap so i hit clubs fairly crisp and i must admit my 975 J is pretty much the same distance compared to these 460 drivers. i do understand its easier to hit 460 cc but i was just curious of what you guys think? do they help you more then they seem to help me?..to me the new drivers dont differ much for me and im thinking of returning my driver back for the 90% i’d get back.
I’m an 8 hdcp and I make good contact with the ball, and I agree with you here. I dont see much of an advantage of this new technology over the old technology as long as both are in good shape.
I think tech wise they have reached the max distance that they can get and still make a club legal. Now they are focusing on forgiveness, as that is all they can really improve.
I’m a huge believer in confidence in golf having a big deal to do with my swing and other stuff. So as long as you still have confidence in your 975 J, and you aren’t seeing any big difference in distance or anything like that, then there is no reason why you shouldn’t keep it, unless its in not so great condition. That being said I’m sure the 907 d2 is supperior technology, but what does technology mean if it doesn’t show results.
