Are Used Clubs as Good as New?

 The game of golf can be expensive. Just a single round each weekend can add up, so if you’re new to the game, you might not want to invest in a brand new set of clubs until you know for sure that you’ll be dedicated to the sport for a long time.

 You can find used golf clubs everywhere – from someone unloading their set on the driving range to those selling them on the Internet to interested buyers.  If you don’t get to play a lot or if you haven’t yet learned the ropes, a used set of golf clubs is all you’ll need until you reach a higher level of golf.

 Brand new sets f golf clubs can be very expensive. Just a single Taylor Made Driver can run you $200 or more – and that’s just one club in your golf bag!  After you pick the other woods, your irons, wedges and putters, you might not have enough to play a round with them!

 When you’re buying used clubs, you can find a wide assortment – from those badly worn to like-new clubs you can’t believe have ever been touched.  You want to check the clubs out individually to see what kind of shape they’re in.

 The clubhead is very important.  You don’t want it to be too worn out, nicked, or scuffed.  The clubhead is what makes impact with your ball, so you want it to be free of too much wear and tear.   

 Move on up the club to make sure the shaft isn’t bent.  Sometimes golfers don’t take care of their clubs or are too rough on them, and you want the club shaft to be strong during each swing.

 At the top of the club, you’ll find the grip.  A worn grip can easily be replaced, but if you’re on a budget, you may not have the $5-15 per grip that it would cost to re-grip your clubs.

 Some sellers will pull together a hodge podge of clubs. That means they have a few from one set, a couple from another, and they group them together as a set. You really want to look for an original set that all came together from the manufacturer.

 Before you buy, find out what the retail price is for the set when it’s new.  The prices may have come down since the original owner bought them, ad you might be able to haggle the price down even further.

 If possible, ask the owner if you can go to the driving range and test the set of clubs out to make sure you feel comfortable with them.  Be wary if they won’t let you test swing the clubs (even in the yard).
