I guess this is due to poor sales and they need the bump. Heard from my friend that works at PGASS Rogue sales are less than a 1/4 of what they saw on Epic last year. Conversely, the TM marketing machine has created demand for the new M Series and their sales are about 4 times what they saw in 2017. Its funny but I bet we see these 2 companies trade sales year over year.

Yeah, the Epic was crazy hyped, but the Rogue just sounds like a repainted Epic, so it's pretty hard for them to tout any massive game improvement by going Rogue. I wish the 50% trade in Bonus worked on Epics...i'd probably snap up an Epic driver if it was. Still might grab a Rogue depending on what I'm unable to sell myself on the BST, especially with the promo being extended.

Does Callaway typically do this promo multiple times throughout the year or any chance of them doing it again? I've got a bunch of old junk I need to unload but I haven't gotten a chance being in Michigan to hit any of the new stuff yet. Once it warms up a bit and I can shake the rust off I definitely want to give the Rogue a shot and could probably get one at a decent price by just getting rid of some wedges and hybrids that are collecting dust.

[apprenti23]

And people wonder why all the new drivers are $4-500 nowadays... jeeze

Well, now you have two more months to decide and wait for the snow to melt? Go to a golf store and demo the Rogue stuff today, tomorrow, over the next two months?

 

News flash, they aren't going to give them away for free. This deal is as good as it gets. Or, you could buy a cheaper used Epic in two months time.

Of course they build in the price for all the junk equipment people are giving them for tradein. Which is why it's best to use this tradein rather than paying full pop for a driver.

[North Butte]

I play almost all of my golf at the same course, so I realize I tend to observe a sort of self-reinforcing peer pressure result. But the past few weeks those 2017 M2 driver are just showing up in droves. Guys with older Taylormade drivers, guys who used to have Callaway or Titleist drivers, everybody has to have an M2.

 

It's like when they introduced the M3 and M4 so they knocked the price back to $299 for the M2, guys who five years ago would have laughed in your face if you talked about spending $300 on any one club are just jumping all over this deal. They're saying things like, "Once they mark it down like that I felt like I had to grab one".

 

Pretty astounding epidemic of marketing-induced mass buying panic. And I've got to say I've seen one Epic and nary a Rogue in any bag at any point in time.

 

You know what the hell of it is? I think I'm about to get a Taylormade driver of my own real soon now. I fondly remember an R7 Draw (or was it R9 Draw?) that I had for a couple years a decade ago...

[thevaporz]

^The Rogue just released a few weeks ago. The M2 is the #1 driver on Tour. Not surprising at all. An "astounding epidemic of marketing-induced mass buying panic." Okay, hope you got a flu shot.

[North Butte]

Taylormade has had numerous "#1 drivers on Tour" over the years and I've never seen any of these guys go out and buy one. Or if they do, it's two years later when they pick one up for $150 off eBay.

 

But this "#1 driver on Tour" has them driving directly to Dick's and splashing out $299+tax for them, one after another. It's quite uncanny and "epidemic" is how it seems.

 

It must be the combination of "#1 driver on Tour" along with seeing the first couple of their buddies get one that pushes it into a mass phenomenon.

They did this last year, and with much more publicity, for Epic products and the CF16 irons. That’s when I got my Epic. February is always slow, so look for it next year.

[Dpavs]

Has anyone else noticed that the Callaway published trade values are not as robust as they used to be?

 

For example, the trade value for a Titleist 917F2 fairway at Callaway is 90.00 and at PGA Value it is 76.50... the gap between the two is much narrower that it used to be.

Not sure, but the Rogue I ordered with the Evenflow Blue Stiff is back ordered 1-2 weeks. That a pretty stock offering, only customized option was -1" for me. Maybe that's artificially a way to make it seem like they are selling out, who knows.

[rufus25]

Did anyone else notice that the trade in list was updated on 3/1/18? I had a couple Adams DHY clubs I was going to dump (I believe those were 30 bucks each - with bonus 45)...those are no longer listed as being able to trade in.

 

I didn’t really need the Rogue fairway, but it still hurts the ho in me a little bit.

values update each month and with a large inflow of items I would guess they will keep decreasing

Call them up, they may still take them.

 

Also, as mentioned, the update the rate cards at the start of each month. If you are ever on the fence about trading something, don't wait until the first of the month. Values will sometimes drop and you can lose out on $.

[rufus25]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info. I didn’t realize the list updated at the first of the month - makes sense, just never tracked it that closely.

[jeffrey r]

Well, I stopped into Golf Galaxy this past weekend to get a putter shaft extension, and while I was waiting, used it as an opportunity to hit the new Rogue Draw. It definitely impressed me with the Even Flow stiff. Although this is a great offer through Callaway, I wanted to at least hit it before taking the plunge. Just called Callaway and placed an order the Rogue Draw, 10.5* with Even Flow stiff, -1 inch and D3 SW. Grabbed 4 clubs from the garage, got about $350 in credit, which will cover the entire cost once the 50% bonus is applied. No-brainer IMHO. Thanks OP.

[NAM2212]

My trade in credit already posted. Less than a week after they got them. Pretty fast turn around from what I had read from others.

Not mine!!! Damnit!

[Neverfaze]

Got my credit two days ago, process was super easy. Ordered the Rogue SZ on the 25th of Feb, delivered on March 4th, credited my card on the 5th. Would definitely consider doing this again.

[lookylookitzadam]

Took advantage of this deal last week with some old clubs I had sitting around to get a Rogue SZ but the EF Blue X shaft is back-ordered until April 6th....UGH!

I ordered on the 27th, 10.5sz and HZRDUS yellow, said 1-2 weeks, status still shows 1-2w.

[lopey986]

I got my Epic driver on Friday, my trade in clubs are set to deliver to them today. We'll see how fast the turnaround is on getting credited back!

[ALTSean]

How long is it taking for folks to receive their credit? My clubs arrived to CPO on March 15th, but I have not received a credit yet.

Clubs were received by them on 3/9, got an email on 3/15 that the credit was issued, 3/17 got notification of the credit on my CC statement.

Been going through some clubs I want to trade in and disappointed to see they charge tax on new products now. I know this is something that has been increasing across online retailers, but they don't charge it on used clubs (via callawaypreowned) so kind of makes it an even bigger 'wtf.'

Are you sure CPO does not charge you sales tax now? CPO recently started charging me sales tax (maybe as of the New Year?), and Callaway charged me sales tax when I recently ordered a new Rogue Draw driver directly from them.

Just made a purchase from CPO yesterday. Definitely charged me tax

Went through the checkout process earlier today and wasn’t charged tax on CPO. I called Callaway CS and the person I spoke to confirmed this. Maybe it’s state-to-state on CPO and every state on new items.
