A: All items will be covered either by our own, or manufacturer warranty. If your product becomes defective within the first 30 days after it is received, we will send you a replacement and retrieve the product at no cost to you. After the 30 day period, it becomes subject to the manufacturer warranty (1-2 years on most products). Only damage that occurs under normal use is covered by warranty. For clubs, some dents or shafts broken in places that would not occur during normal play may not be covered by warranty. For warranty repair, simply send these items back to us and explain the defect. Make sure there is a note inside the box with the order name and/or item number. Often times it is helpful to contact customer service so we can walk you through the process. Sometimes clubs that are outside of the warranty period can still be repaired/re-shafted for a cost. Some items can be refurbished by the manufacturers, but you would need to call us first to check manufacturer availability for this service.
