re: Best place to buy used clubs

Why not? A lot of the golf club sellers on eBay are just local golf shops using it as their little slice of e-commerce. I wouldn’t buy clubs from some dude with like 12 sales and crappy descriptions, but there’s plenty of sellers with thousands of transactions and 99.5+% ratings. I’ll buy from them all day long.

I'll personally never buy another set on eBay. Bought a brand new set of irons one time from a golf club dealer on there with 1,000's of sales. It wasn't even some half off price, they were just some irons I couldn't find locally.

Irons were super inconsistent. I'd hit two smooth 7 irons in a row and one would go 170 and the next would fall flat at 155. It was like that with all the irons. This was about 10 years ago and I really didn't know there was a huge counterfeit/knockoff golf club market. Looked into it some more and found out they were 100% fake.

That was enough for me to never buy any off there again. I still use eBay quite a bit, just not for golf clubs.

Callaway pre-owned is really nice. I've bought a handful of clubs from them and every one of them have been in a better condition than advertised. And you don't have to question their authenticity.
