Why Preowned Golf Clubs are just as good as new

Posted under Basically Golf by Swinger

I have to admit I love getting hold of a brand new golf club as do most people but I have to say when I do some shopping around I find that there are some excellent deals on Preowned golf clubs and I thought I would give you a few examples of the difference so you can make the decision for yourself.

I did some hunting around on some identical clubs on one of the sites I use for preowned clubs and I will give you some links at the bottom of the post. The club I found that was identical was the Cleveland 460cc Launcher driver, which I will be reviewing in a few weeks time so just so you can see the difference in the adverts I am posting the BRAND NEW link first:

CLEVELAND Launcher Comp 460CC

Cleveland Golf s Launcher 460 Comp Driver The new Cleveland Golf Launcher 460 Comp driver combines the benefits of lightweight carbon fiber composite with the strength of beta titanium to create the largest, hottest, longest, straightest and best looking Cleveland driver ever. The Launcher Comp driver is made with an ultra-lightweight tri-ply carbon fiber composite crown, which allows for the redistribution of 25 grams of weight to lower and deeper locations around the club head perimeter. This redistribution of mass reduces center of gravity (CG) height and moves it further away from the face to produce drives with high launch and low spin from a greater percentage of the clubface. Additional weighting to critical perimeter areas dramatically increases moment of inertia (MOI). The Launcher 460 Comp features an award winning 460cc head shape, which is currently the largest and best looking multi-material driver available on the market. The engineers at Cleveland Golf have analyzed and optimized the impact sound to be hotter than regular titanium and more solid than previous multi-material drivers. The Launcher 460 Comp precisely meets the USGA limits on head size and COR, so it is USGA legal for all tournament play. This 460cc multi-material driver combines the benefits of lightweight carbon fiber composite with the strength of beta titanium producing higher launch angles with reduced spin to give players of all levels added distance off the tee. Made with an ultra-lightweight tri-ply carbon fiber composite crown, this lightweight section allows for the redistribution of 25 grams of weight to lower and deeper locations around the clubhead perimeter, reducing the CG height and moving it further away from the face for high launch and low spin drives from a greater percentage of the clubface. The same mass distribution dramatically increases the MOI or the resistance to twisting on off-center hits. All in all, the 460 Comp turns out to be the largest, hottest, longest and straightest multi-material driver on the market. –>

The price for this nice brand new club is $299.99 which compared to some other drivers on the market isn’t that bad. However here is the not so attractive link for the Preowned golf club of exactly the same make and model:

Short and sweet, but the difference is in the price, $140 difference to be exact! The club is $159.99 second hand! Good condition normally means that you can see that it has been used but in most cases this just means the normal wear and tear that a club will get through a few rounds.

Now there are two PreOwned Golf Club suppliers that I use, the first is Golfsmith who have great offers most of the time and if you get in quick they have a 60% sale on as well as good deals on the preowned clubs as well.

The second is Callaway Golf Pre-Owned and Outlet, the fact that these guys put their clubs through a big checking process is only part of the service, they also offer a 100% money back guarantee and a one year warranty.

Preowend Golf Clubs are a really good way to get the clubs you want for a reduced price. Personally I am on the lookout for a few things at the moment all will be revealed over the next few weeks.
