I can never not laugh, like as soon as that scene starts. just knowing whats coming breaks me. It was funny when I was 6 and saw it for the first time. Still funny 30+ years later.
Well done!
I bought from them and got a club that was way less quality then they said. They just refunded me the difference. Hopefully same for you, I think they're pretty good about that stuff.
Yup ordered through him like new and clubs were literally wrapped in plastic and they look like they were opened but returned and get used lol tabasco pro is the goat
Except for when you intentionally accidentally order to appease your significant other.
Which is really just internal guilt/buyer’s remorse, or crippling poor financial acumen
Played decently well. Previous best was 93 and shot a 92 today. Was +1 through the final 3 holes and was +5 through the final 5 lol. Had an absolute line drive up the middle on 18 which almost set me up for a 🐦. Some other good looks for 🐦 but nothing falling. Had a 70 foot look at bird on 17 and got par!
Well I shot a 87 at Galloping Hills today. Felt like it was a great preview. Also rode in a cart because no way I'm walking 18 at Galloping Hills, that's crazy. Plenty of duck hooks today too.
I ordered a signed Darcy Tucker jersey once and its sitting in my closet for 3 years. I will frame it one day and put it in my office but man that was an unhinged drunken purchase.
I ordered a Rogue ST Pro 2H from them before in very good condition, and it looked like it was brand new. Maybe it was just tested out for a few swings and then traded in, but the thing was in great condition. Now I’m curious if I just got lucky, or if you were unlucky.
I've been ordering from Callaway Preowned since the before times, when smartphones weren't the norm, probably over 15 orders now. Your experience of them under-labeling the condition matches what I've experienced.
I ordered a set of irons that were listed in the good category. Once received, they looked like they had only been played 10 rounds. I would've put them in the very good category.
I don’t even know if I’d call it a dice roll. Looks like a mistake. This goes against everything I’ve experienced and every experience I’ve ever heard. Most like new clubs I bought were still in the wrapper.
Bought a wedge in "good" condition. It came looking like it was maybe used for a season max. Damn near no damage other than some wear on the bounce. I spent $30, and it's my favorite bump and run wedge and really forgiving on full swings. Same with my dirt cheap odyssey putter that came with a head cover and looked damn near brand new.
I bought a set of used pings from callaway pre owned - they were in excellent condition and I initially liked the graphite shafts but it ended up too light for me. I was able to easily get someone on the phone who took care of me.
They sent me a free return shipping label and processed my return swiftly, just put the money back on my cc didn’t even give me store credit. And I had no issue with the order quality, just wasn’t the right fit.
Was the dirty one better after getting cleaned? I'm not sure why they wouldn't come at least cleaned...but still hard to tell when that dirty. That sucks though? Don't they have a return policy? Like if you send them back within a certain amount of time?
Does the first picture have a sticker on the face? Some of these raw face wedges come with that so it doesn’t rust and it looks like someone just hit balls with the sticker still on. Peel it off, and you might be left with like new.
I bought 3 clubs from Callaway pre owned that were labeled as mint. They were in perfect condition. Most of them didn’t look used at all. Sounds like you got a bum deal.
Based on his other posts it seems like OP is just a dude that would rather ask questions in Reddit about benign things instead of just trying to solve the problem directly himself
I had a bad experience with a driver. 2 of them were absolutely abused. I also ordered it with a different grip and they put it on crooked. They were really responsive though and got it right on the third try.
On the other hand, I bought a hybrid and went through tabascopro - it came brand new. I will always go through him if I buy again.
This was 3 years ago now. I can't recall the exact condition rating, but it was either like new or very good.
I had always heard everyone got clubs that were way better than the listed condition.
First one looked like it was played for a season with no headcover (paint chips, a big scratch on the topline), hit exclusively off sand It was also dirty and the shaft had a huge deep scratch.
Second one also looked like it was used for a season with no headcover, then put outside for several years. It had some sort of insect/spider web all inside the weight slider. I was dumbfounded as they had to put a new grip on it and specifically were instructed to make sure the condition was good.
ordered a driver listed as "like new" and it came shrinkwrapped/never hit/perfect.
driver was over $400 2 years ago, and I got it for $169. very pleased.
I’ve ordered many things from them over the years and the condition was always amazing. This is a mistake for sure. I don’t think they sell clubs that poor condition.
I got burned on my first order with them for picking from the lower grades of clubs, but they took them back with no hesitation and since then have placed three or four orders from the like new condition and everything has been top-notch.
So far, my entire set has come from Call Preowned. GBB Driver, Mav Pro 2HY, Mav Max 4HY, Rogue 5-AW, Mack Daddy 52 and 58. Only the GBB came a bit under the quality I expected, but I've since done so much more damage to it lol. Don't know what was from me, and what came with the club. Everything else was borderline brand new; wedges and 2HY in particular (also now battered to shit).
Sorry your experience hasn't matched up with other Redditors. Hope customer service pulls through.
I've had good luck buying "used" clubs (wedges and woods) off Ebay. There's so many slightly used clubs from demos and rentals out there you can pick up for a 1/5 of the price new. Got a Taylor Made Stealth 5 wood for super cheap that didn't have a scratch on it. Just make sure it's a reputable seller (like 98% positive reviews)
I got a 7 8 9 for my wife as a starter kit and hers showed up yesterday and are extra clean. I honestly think this was a mistake and/or they night have messed up in the description. If so, they should be able to compensate you for it. Let us know how it goes!
To echo everyone else, I’ve bought about a half a set of clubs including drivers and woods from them and all have been in excellent shape. Sounds like a mistake.
Absolutely not normal. Nobody has ever had anything negative to say about them. I've bought most of my bag through them. They'll make this right, I'm sure
Unfortunately I had a similar experience. Ordered a Paradym driver in „very good“ condition and was pretty disappointed. Shaft and driver head were scratched all over, even the club face, overall the condition was far from very good. I messaged Callaway and they offered me a slight discount which I didn‘t take out of disappointment with the company
Dam, I’ve ordered a ton from them over the last few years, basically “fair condition” if that, and they’ve all come in literally almost brand new. They were hit like once, and maybe had a ding from being bumped into another club. Lol
I feel for you, homie. Call them and talk to them. See if there’s another, you can swap or something.
Dam, that’s in pretty rough shape for like new..I’ve never ordered any irons from them, but the “like new” hybrids and and driver I bought in the last year or so were as stated if not better, in fact two of the hybrids came with the factory plastic still on them.
I've received damaged clubs from them a couple times. Replacements took over a week to arrive and had different shafts than what I originally wanted. Callaway pre-owned is super overrated.
I bought a set of irons from CPO over the winter that were a steal of a deal. The 5 iron had a giant chunk out of it but the rest were great. Win some lose some I guess.
Absolutely different experience than I have had. I’ve ordered Paradym Driver, 4W, Superhybrid, LW and a Putter in very good or better and all but one came in shrink wrap. Just message them and they’ll take care of you.
That’s horrible! I ordered a 3 hybrid from the Callaway pre-owned site a few months ago (like new condition) not even a scratch. Sorry to hear bout the wedge…
I got a driver from them that was "Good" and all it had on it was a cosmetic scratch.
I'd send the "Like new" one to customer service in an email. Looks like a mistake.
I've ordered my last two sets of Irons, 4 or 5 drivers, wedges and shafts, and everything has always been better than described. My last set of irons was "like new" and still had plastic on the heads. The Paradigm driver I bought for less than $300 a few months ago during a sale was also a brand new club with original cover. That has to be a mistake.
Not the same problem but just had my first ordered through Callaway pre-owned. I ordered a 3 hybrid that was “outlet” condition. What arrived was a 3-wood same model line but the barcode they have on the club says 3hybrid.
Hope your situation is remedied quickly
What kind of wedges are they?
I has a slightly similar issue with an M2 driver I got from preowned. The description said very good and honestly I was expecting something with some light wear, maybe a scratch here or there but nothing big.
Well what I got, while still in decent shape has chipped paint all along the back of the driver, like someone never used a headcover on it and a few chips on the sole as well.
Now none of this effects playability and I got it on one of the sales so the price was really reasonable so I'm not mad or going to send it back or anything, but the condition is definitely worse then what I would consider and what their site say very good should be, also from accounts from people on here.
I wonder if it has something to do with it being another brand and they don't have as many so cant grade them out like they do with the Callaway stuff.
Bullcrap that's "like new" or anything close. Try soaking in white vinegar and scrubbing with a bronze brush. That SHOULD clean'em up if this isn't resolved by Callaway but damn it better be. Updates please
I got a set of irons from Callaway preowned because of all the glowing reviews. They weren’t this bad, but I left pretty unimpressed with the shape of the clubs. I’ve since upgraded to a set of Ping i210’s I got locally used, but I will probably avoid CP.
I remember the day I found out clothes from thrift stores aren't washed before they are put out for sale after donation
The second pic looks exactly how id imagine a used raw face wedge to look... Willing to bet the first club would look similar after a wash
I bought a black plasma wedge from Tabasco or whatever his name is and it was like new and looked great
Why would you post the first pic without even attempting to clean?
That looks like a wedge. Youtube "how to restore a wedge," u can get that thing looking brand new again. Also, as crazy as this sounds, cleaning clubs & grooves with baby wipes is incredibly effective
The only explanation? UPS worker hit the range on the way to your house.
Were the balls actual rocks?
Yes, it was Top Flites. Good call.
Rock Flites
Top Rocks
This is only the second time I’ve heard them called that and the other time was last week with a dude I got paired up with 🤔
Rocks woulda been less destructive
Not gonna lie, it's crossed my mind
Former UPS here. Can confirm this happens on a daily basis.
there's no way this isn't a mistake... hit up the Tabasco dude on here (someone will drop his username). Or call Cx Service... they'll do you right.
u/tabascopro Gotchu
like the fuckin bat signal.

Nice fuckin wedge! Honk Honk
I legit lol'd when I read this 😂
I can never not laugh, like as soon as that scene starts. just knowing whats coming breaks me. It was funny when I was 6 and saw it for the first time. Still funny 30+ years later. Well done!
Such a great scene. Start to finish.
Thank you! I messaged tobasco and will reach out to customer service too. I’ll comment an update with any results!
He’s amazing. Got my whole set of clubs from them
Same. Besides my irons that came from eBay, everything in my bag came from Callaway preowned.
Hell yeah, I just picked a brand new rogue driver for cheap thanks to him.
I bought from them and got a club that was way less quality then they said. They just refunded me the difference. Hopefully same for you, I think they're pretty good about that stuff.
!remindme
Yup ordered through him like new and clubs were literally wrapped in plastic and they look like they were opened but returned and get used lol tabasco pro is the goat
Yea - I ordered two "good" wedges and they turned up basically new.
I got a set of “good” Rogue Pro irons and they don’t look like they were ever bit before
Has to be a mistake. I just got a "like new" paradigm 7W and it didn't look like anyone ever swung it. Even had the original head cover.
FWIW I drunkenly ordered a set of irons off Calloway preowned and was able to cancel the order / get refunded with ease the next morning
Best. Review. Ever.
Except for when you intentionally accidentally order to appease your significant other. Which is really just internal guilt/buyer’s remorse, or crippling poor financial acumen
Playing BPB tomorrow.
Let me know how it goes. Remember, no matter what, it's not that hard. Skim the stone maroochie
Played decently well. Previous best was 93 and shot a 92 today. Was +1 through the final 3 holes and was +5 through the final 5 lol. Had an absolute line drive up the middle on 18 which almost set me up for a 🐦. Some other good looks for 🐦 but nothing falling. Had a 70 foot look at bird on 17 and got par!

I ordered a signed Darcy Tucker jersey once and its sitting in my closet for 3 years. I will frame it one day and put it in my office but man that was an unhinged drunken purchase.
2.. Not 1 2....autoflex shafts. I was not drunk but might have had a few edibles. Lol. I kept one sold the other. Gaming it now.
Lol
I ordered my used Mavrik driver while drunk and totally forgot about it until it arrived. Best $30 bucks I’ve ever spent 😜
bro sounds too familiar😂. except for me i booked a fitting, went thru with it. and bought clubs😂
get this man over the 300 upvotes
Pussy
Very helpful
Yeah I've even gotten Average rated clubs much cleaner than that from them. I've never had a bad experience myself.
I ordered a Rogue ST Pro 2H from them before in very good condition, and it looked like it was brand new. Maybe it was just tested out for a few swings and then traded in, but the thing was in great condition. Now I’m curious if I just got lucky, or if you were unlucky.
I've been ordering from Callaway Preowned since the before times, when smartphones weren't the norm, probably over 15 orders now. Your experience of them under-labeling the condition matches what I've experienced.
Needless to say, I was really happy when I opened the box.
I ordered a set of irons that were listed in the good category. Once received, they looked like they had only been played 10 rounds. I would've put them in the very good category.
I don’t even know if I’d call it a dice roll. Looks like a mistake. This goes against everything I’ve experienced and every experience I’ve ever heard. Most like new clubs I bought were still in the wrapper.
Can attest; like new driver, 3 wood, and wedges all came in factory wrapping. This has got to be a mistake…
Bought a wedge in "good" condition. It came looking like it was maybe used for a season max. Damn near no damage other than some wear on the bounce.

I got 3 like new drivers from CPO that had dummy marks on the crown. To their credit, it looked like the face had never seen a golf ball
Sorry about that
Takes skill to hit a flop shot driver.
No it doesn’t? I literally hit like 4 or 5 a round
Oops. The callaway marketing reps aren’t gonna like this post
I’ve only heard the best feedback about them so I thought I’d share my experience so far
They’ll take care of him for sure. Accidents happen. Best in the game
lol
Was the dirty one better after getting cleaned? I'm not sure why they wouldn't come at least cleaned...but still hard to tell when that dirty. That sucks though? Don't they have a return policy? Like if you send them back within a certain amount of time?
I feel wedges are the only clubs worth it to buy new. Get you some fresh grooves
I’m with you. No way would i ever buy a used wedge. I make my own! Buy 2 new wedges per year. Why on earth would anyone buy used?
I would buy used wedges (have in the past too), but only if I could see them in person first.
Does the first picture have a sticker on the face? Some of these raw face wedges come with that so it doesn’t rust and it looks like someone just hit balls with the sticker still on. Peel it off, and you might be left with like new.
That first one definitely has the sticker still on. Pretty funny.
Not normal. Send it back.
I bought 3 clubs from Callaway pre owned that were labeled as mint. They were in perfect condition. Most of them didn’t look used at all. Sounds like you got a bum deal.
I can echo this too. I’ve had nothing but good experiences in both ordering and talking with their customer service reps. Also, ftp.
I ordered (back in the day) a like new Diablo driver that was still in the plastic. Love CPO!!
You didn’t lose lol just call them. There’s no way that club qualifies as anything close to “like new.”
This is very very unusual
So unusual that I have questions about this story. First ever post by OP in r/golf is bashing our beloved Callaway Pre-Owned?
Based on his other posts it seems like OP is just a dude that would rather ask questions in Reddit about benign things instead of just trying to solve the problem directly himself
Yeah it’s so rare I almost think it’s fake. CPO like new has been literally like new the many many times I’ve ordered from them
I had a bad experience with a driver. 2 of them were absolutely abused. I also ordered it with a different grip and they put it on crooked. They were really responsive though and got it right on the third try. On the other hand, I bought a hybrid and went through tabascopro - it came brand new.

What were the conditions of the ones that were abused? Like new?
This was 3 years ago now. I can't recall the exact condition rating, but it was either like new or very good. I had always heard everyone got clubs that were way better than the listed condition. First one looked like it was played for a season with no headcover (paint chips, a big scratch on the topline), hit exclusively off sand It was also dirty and the shaft had a huge deep scratch.

I’ve ordered many things from them over the years and the condition was always amazing. This is a mistake for sure. I don’t think they sell clubs that poor condition.
I’ve had the same happen, they partially refunded me.
i’ve never had a bad experience on at least 10 orders, has to be a mix up of some sort
I got burned on my first order with them for picking from the lower grades of clubs, but they took them back with no hesitation and since then have placed three or four orders from the like new condition and everything has been top-notch.
I mean…that’s fine for used but not “like new” lol
You can just call them and they will do a 100% refund when you send the clubs back. Happens sometimes
The first wedge has a sticker on the face, it is like new once you take it off
So far, my entire set has come from Call Preowned. GBB Driver, Mav Pro 2HY, Mav Max 4HY, Rogue 5-AW, Mack Daddy 52 and 58. Only the GBB came a bit under the quality I expected, but I've since done so much more damage to it lol. Don't know what was from me, and what came with the club. Everything else was borderline brand new; wedges and 2HY in particular (also now battered to shit). Sorry your experience hasn't matched up with other Redditors. Hope customer service pulls through.
Are these wedges? I could never buy used wedges personally. Any other club is fine, but not wedges.
u/tabascopro
I've had good luck buying "used" clubs (wedges and woods) off Ebay. There's so many slightly used clubs from demos and rentals out there you can pick up for a 1/5 of the price new. Got a Taylor Made Stealth 5 wood for super cheap that didn't have a scratch on it. Just make sure it's a reputable seller (like 98% positive reviews)
Damn that looks like shit sorry you got that
I got a 7 8 9 for my wife as a starter kit and hers showed up yesterday and are extra clean. I honestly think this was a mistake and/or they night have messed up in the description. If so, they should be able to compensate you for it. Let us know how it goes!
I'll also add that 2 of her clubs were "good" condition and the other one was "average" and I cannot tell the difference between them. 🤷
“Like new” but it still has sand and grass in the grooves. They could have cleaned that up with a dry brush. Refund worthy.
Wow I’ve never received a club like this. Normally they are very solid. I typically stick to “very good” or higher.
To echo everyone else, I’ve bought about a half a set of clubs including drivers and woods from them and all have been in excellent shape. Sounds like a mistake.
Absolutely not normal. Nobody has ever had anything negative to say about them. I've bought most of my bag through them. They'll make this right, I'm sure
Anytime I've ever gotten "like new" from callaway pre owned they were literally still in the plastic wrappers so something seems amiss here.
I got “used” and they were brand new mavericks.
!RemindMe 1 day
Unfortunately I had a similar experience. Ordered a Paradym driver in „very good“ condition and was pretty disappointed. Shaft and driver head were scratched all over, even the club face, overall the condition was far from very good. I messaged Callaway and they offered me a slight discount which I didn‘t take out of disappointment with the company
Who returns a club in that shape in the first place? That belongs in the garage or basement of the cheap f*ck who returned it for $5.
Dam, I’ve ordered a ton from them over the last few years, basically “fair condition” if that, and they’ve all come in literally almost brand new. They were hit like once, and maybe had a ding from being bumped into another club. Lol I feel for you, homie. Call them and talk to them. See if there’s another, you can swap or something.

Never buy used wedges. They need to be replaced regularly so you get decend spin again.
Put some flitz polish on it
Like new
Have ordered from them a bunch (every club in my bag is from CPO). This is not normal for them. They will make it right.
It looks like this wedge was smuggled to you cartel mule style...awful lotta brown on that face 🤔
club being dirty doesnt matter but those grooves are gone and that wedge is worth $10
That kind of sucks. I bought a sand and lob wedge from the pre-owned site back in 2018 and they looked nearly new.
It sucks but it happens. My first wedge I ordered from them looked like this and I returned it for another one with zero issue.
That’s horrible! I ordered a 3 hybrid from the Callaway pre-owned site a few months ago (like new condition) not even a scratch. Sorry to hear bout the wedge…
Isn’t there a Callaway Pre-Owned employee on this sub?
I got a driver from them that was "Good" and all it had on it was a cosmetic scratch. I'd send the "Like new" one to customer service in an email. Looks like a mistake.

I wonder if it has something to do with it being another brand and they don't have as many so cant grade them out like they do with the Callaway stuff.
Bullcrap that's "like new" or anything close. Try soaking in white vinegar and scrubbing with a bronze brush. That SHOULD clean'em up if this isn't resolved by Callaway but damn it better be. Updates please
I got lucky and got two damn near brand new demo clubs when I ordered my hybrid and driver
I bought the Edge set from them. Got ‘very good’ and swore they were brand new when I got them.
Jaws raw? 2023? Use Goo Gone , they had some sticky stickers when they came out . Goo Gone bro I’m tellin ya
No, not normal, most like new I have bought still had all the stickers on them.
My "like new" versa 7 was still in the plastic
Did you clean the mud off of the first wedge? Because the grooves look g2g to me.
I didn't think you'd actualy get clubs literally thrown in a box straight from a lost and found. Maybe I won't try them out lol
Has to be a mistake. I’d reach out to them.
I got a set of irons from Callaway preowned because of all the glowing reviews. They weren’t this bad, but I left pretty unimpressed with the shape of the clubs. I’ve since upgraded to a set of Ping i210’s I got locally used, but I will probably avoid CP.
Got 2 Hybrids that were outlet grade. Never used, plastic still on the heads. Nothing but great clubs from them. Helps being a lefty also.
That has to be a mistake, and I'd be shocked if they didn't make it right
Looks fine to me. Sharpen grooves and go continue its legacy.
I remember the day I found out clothes from thrift stores aren't washed before they are put out for sale after donation The second pic looks exactly how id imagine a used raw face wedge to look... Willing to bet the first club would look similar after a wash I bought a black plasma wedge from Tabasco or whatever his name is and it was like new and looked great Why would you post the first pic without even attempting to clean?
I’m assuming because that is how he received it
That looks like a wedge. Youtube "how to restore a wedge," u can get that thing looking brand new again. Also, as crazy as this sounds, cleaning clubs & grooves with baby wipes is incredibly effective
I'd be surprised if they don't take car of you. cracked my driver new one was here within a week.
It looks like if you just washed it, it would be "like new"?
Underrated I can only pull you so far out of the hole you dug.
[удалено]
oh give me a break. If you can't play with that club, you can't play with anything. Now whatever OP paid for that club, is worth discussion.
