Questions buyers ask

Is it worth buying a used driver?

Often, if you buy the exact model you want and check it first. The biggest saving on a current model here is the XXIO 14 Ladies: $399.99 used against $799.99 new. An earlier model saves more again, and the head that made it forgiving is the same one it had new.

How old a driver is still worth buying?

Look at what changed, not the year. Each earlier model's page says what its successor changed, so you can judge whether it matters to you; 72 earlier drivers here have a used price, from $89.99 (Srixon ZX5).

How do I check a used driver?

Find the model name on the sole and match it to the listing, check the loft and the hosel setting, and make sure the shaft's flex is yours and that it is the maker's own adapter. Look at the face and the crown for dents, cracks or deep marks, and read the shop's condition grade and return terms before you pay.

Where do these used prices come from?

From the lowest-priced listing for that model at the shop named, read on the day shown. A used price is for that one club, in that loft, flex and condition; another listing of the same model can cost more or less.
