Find a Used Driver That Fits Your Swing

Searching for a used driver is easy. Searching for one that suits you is not. Answer eight questions about how you play, and we rank what is for sale by how well it fits you.

Find your fit

Answer a few questions about your swing. Gender, age, and handedness are required; everything else has a “Not sure” option if you're unsure.

Carry, not counting roll. If you are between two, take the lower one: a shaft slightly too soft costs you far less than one slightly too stiff.

Compared to the people you usually play with.

Why not just search the marketplace

You can, and it will not get you far. A marketplace search matches the words in a listing title, so "senior flex driver" returns everything carrying those words, ordered by whatever the site decides, and leaves you to work out which of the thousand suits a 195-yard carry and a slice. Flex, loft and head type are the things that decide whether a driver fits you, and they are exactly what a keyword search cannot sort on.

What we ask, and why

Nothing here needs a launch monitor or a number you would have to look up.

What comes back

A ranked list of drivers that are for sale right now, best fit first. Where two fit equally well the cheaper one is on top, and every card states the flex, the loft and what it matched on, so you can disagree with any of it.

Two things worth knowing. Where the senior band runs thin we widen the list one step to regular rather than showing you an empty page, and the cards say which is which. And a lot of sellers leave the flex field blank. Where the title says it plainly we take it from there; where nothing states it, the club is dropped rather than assumed.

Every result links straight through to the listing on eBay, so once you have found the one you want, buying it is a single click from here. The scores themselves are onHow it works.

Eight questions, and the brand one is optional. No swing-speed measurement needed.
