I thought we had a thread for this, but couldn't find it. What did you buy today?

My Honma XP-1 arrived yesterday. Quick service. I was disappointed in the club. It has scratches and smudges
on the top (crown) of the clubhead. I called Global and explained that for a "very good" description I would have
accepted a few scratches, etc. on the face or the bottom of the club but I couldn't use the club looking at those
scratches every time I set up to hit a drive. The woman I was talking to checked and said that they had one more
in stock and we agreed that I would pay for that one and would be refunded for the first one when I returned it.
I may have been able to polish out most of the scratches and smudges with glanz wachs and I still may try if the
new one isn't better when it arrives. I'll certainly return one of them. As far as pictures, it's not likely as I have never
been able to get the pictures from my phone to this site. I guess I don't know how. I may try if I have time but a lot
of things are going on here right now and I may not have the time.

New (used) set of irons for my bride that arrived today to go with her Ping woods/hybrids…

My TS1s arrived and they are sweet! I saw a Twitter post by one of the MyGolfSpy writers I follow asking if he should buy them (they were $50!) I replied with, if you don’t want em, pick ‘em up for me! And he did! In fact, he got a 10% discount so they were only $45! With shipping, I got em for $70! ( I rounded up for his troubles). At that point I didn’t have much info on em (but didn’t care). Clubs came this week and they are amazing! 3-PW in great shape. They are on standard length Score LTs in R flex with oversized Lamkin Crossline grips. I play 1/4 to 1/2 inch over-length in S or XS so I’ll prob pull and sell the shafts. Or let me know if you have an over length S set or reg length XS I can soft step for a trade.

Eguller

If you haven't, you may want to give the R-flex shafts a try. You may be surprised. 😉🏌

Jelopster

Eguller I’d have no problem playing the R…if they were over length! Plus I’ve got no business playing this much of a player’s club so I view these more as a project set I can tinker with for the next year or so before I play ‘em . I’m seeing colored grips, bespoke ferrules…maybe even some black apollo shafts!

I can see how easy being a Ho is. When I bought the TW grind wedge I also saw a SLDR 430 driver that I easily could have pulled the trigger on. The 430 is a beast.

Helped my Pro out with some stuff so he cut me a good deal on a new set of 2023 , T300 irons, 4-pw. Also tossed in a dozen new ProV1X left dash.

Saved over $500 so WTF not, lol

I had to edit out the other new driver as it was NSFW. 😲😉

How are those antique Ping G2 irons working for you?

mulegolf I stopped buying used clubs online unless I can see pics of exactly what I'm buying. Very good condition shouldn't be sky marks or looking like it's been dragged behind a golf cart.

I haven't purchased anything from GG in many years until last week. Years ago GG had a reputation of if you didn't select "excellent or minty" condition rating it was a crap shoot on what your got. The XP-1 I received yesterday was rated excellent and it was and could have been rated as minty. Did the rep tell you what the rating was on the one they are sending you?

Picked up a 3-sw set of TM 320 irons at a garage sale. Mainly for the Innovative Graphite Comp35 graphite shafts. Clubs were quite a bit longer than standard, so should make a good set of pullouts.

I have had great success buying from CallawayPreowned over the years. Most time the clubs are underrated and some have even come still in plastic. Great customer service and return policy as well.

Rickochet Did the rep tell you what the rating was on the one they are sending you?

She didn't say and on the form she emailed to me it is difficult determine. They list both drivers, the one I'm returning and the one they are replacing it with. It also lists the headcover I ordered. Either the new driver of the headcover are listed
as excellent, but I can't tell for sure which one they are referring to. I hope it's the driver but I guess I'll have to wait 'til I
see it to be sure.

Rickochet Callaway Preowned has definitely been one of the better used sellers for sure.

You were just unlucky. I bought 2, one listed as Excellent (and was MINT), the other listed as Very Good, and I after I cleaned the crown with car wax, it's MINT. I hope your replacement is better!

I should know tomorrow. It looks like it should be here then. I got the headcover yesterday and that
looks perfect.

TopFlite Hammer Control, 2 x 15.

sdandrea1 Steve, let me know how these work for you. One of my buddies is looking for a lowish spinning distance ball. I thought these might work for him.

Will do. This is the replacement for the D2 Feel which was my favorite TF 2-piece ball. Distance ball with soft feel.

The TF Hammer Control= D2 Feel. Soft feel, good distance. Great value!
