About Us
2nd Swing is a Minneapolis based specialty retailer and online seller of new and pre-swung golf equipment and accessories. The company offers customers the opportunity to receive maximum value for their trade-ins, a 30-day play guarantee, and the opportunity to extend the warranty on their pre-owned club purchase. We have a wide assortment of pre-owned golf clubs including one-of-a-kind prototypes, hard to find tour-issued clubs, and clubs that are almost impossible to find from any other source.
Our pre-swung inventory expands generations of golf equipment manufacturing - from the days of old to today's most technologically advanced equipment. At 2nd Swing, you are sure to find game improving clubs that fit within your budget.
As added benefits, only at 2nd Swing can you try equipment before purchasing it through our demo program. You can also try any pre-swung club in the store at one of our Ping nFlight fitting centers located at both retail locations.
Care to see what custom fitting can do for your game? We have experienced club fitters, who were named 2009 Club Fitters of Year by Ping, on staff at every store. They will spend time with you to ensure your equipment maximizes your game's potential. Add to this best in class customer service from experienced golf enthusiasts and you're sure to have an experience you will tell your friends about. Give 2nd Swing a try and we're confident you'll never shop anywhere else.
Our Story
When the original 2nd Swing opened back in 1997, it was founded on one simplistic principle -- to "go the extra distance for each and every customer". Our entire philosophy was rooted in providing superior service by focusing on customers as individuals and helping them find equipment that best fit their game. We developed a strong following early on and word spread quickly about our business. We took great pride in that!
However, as the company grew and the original founding team moved on to other endeavors, the company lost sight of its founding principle. Pricing became inconsistent and the company put a lot of time and money into developing other areas of the business. Simply put, the company lost its focus and many of its most dedicated customers became disappointed and turned elsewhere. Subsequently, the old 2nd Swing struggled and filed for bankruptcy.
The original founding team that you grew to know and trust is back! We remember all the satisfied customers that used to come into our stores on a frequent basis, occasionally to shop, but more often to shoot the breeze and talk about the sport we love. Customers loved our stores and we were saddened to see the company change. So, consider the new 2nd Swing to be a grass roots effort. We're going back to the basics, focusing on each individual customer and going the extra distance for them.
And now we're even better! Throughout the growth of the original 2nd Swing, we learned a few things and picked up some new capabilities. Most notably, we now have an even wider assortment of pre-swung equipment at consistently competitive prices. You now have more to choose from than ever before.
We're still looking for ways to better serve our customers - we understand today's customer demands more. To make shopping increasingly convenient, we've started selling equipment online through eBay, Amazon, and our very own 2ndswing.com. We have recently re-developed our website to make it more user friendly for all. On 2ndSwing.com you'll be able to see actual photos along with unique attributes describing the club. If you are able to swing by one of our retail stores or shop online, we want to provide each customer with unmatched service, a vast selection of equipment, and incredible value!
