That’s a solid point, @sblanchard! There’s nothing like getting a feel firsthand. Also, look for the original head cover; it indicates care.
True! A well-kept head cover means the previous owner valued their gear. It’s all about the details!

For me, red flags include any seller who refuses to meet in public places or hides their identity. Always trust your gut!
Good call, @tmcdonald! Safety first is a must. I also think keeping an eye out for warranties still being valid can provide peace of mind.
Just be careful with the shipping if you’re buying online. Inspect the driver head as soon as it arrives. I’ve paid for a head that arrived damaged! So frustrating!
Ouch! That’s the worst. Always use a reputable shipping method and ask for tracking information!
Does anyone here have recommendations for trustworthy sellers? I’ve always been cautious about purchasing online.

I’ve had great luck with a local golf shop that sells used equipment. They usually vet their products well!
I’ve had great experiences with the Callaway Big Bertha driver head. It’s incredibly forgiving and provides good distance. The durability has been excellent – I’ve had mine for over a year with no issues.
I hear a lot about that model! Do you think it’s worth the price in the used market?

I picked up a TaylorMade M2 head last month, and I can’t believe the performance! Good distance and nice feel. I’d say it’s a solid value for money, especially on a used site.
That’s awesome! Did you find any significant wear when you bought it used?
Reyes and David, I’ve heard mixed reviews about used driver heads. Some seem to love them, while others have had durability issues. What’s your take on that?
I think it really depends on how well the previous owner took care of it. I got a used Ping G driver and it was still in great shape with minimal wear. Highly recommended.
That’s great to hear! Gives me some confidence to look for used equipment.
I’ve tried a Cobra F9 driver head, and while I enjoyed the performance, I did notice some paint chipping after a few rounds. Just a heads-up for potential buyers!
That’s a bit worrisome! How does it affect your game?

Honestly, it doesn’t impact my shots much. Just a cosmetic issue. But it’s something to consider if you want your clubs looking pristine.
Has anyone tried the Titleist 917D2 driver head? I’m curious about its performance compared to others listed here. Is it really worth hunting for?

I used the Titleist 917D2 for a while and found it to be very consistent. Great feel, and I was satisfied overall. Definitely worth considering, especially if you can find it used.
