Before You Buy Used Clubs
June 26, 2007
If you’re on a budget or just play a few rounds once in a blue moon, the idea of purchasing your golf clubs used might be an attractive idea. Why spend a lot of money on clubs when you are not even certain how well you’ll play or whether you’re in it for the long haul? Instead of running out and buying a brand new set, many golfers choose to go the used route when making a purchase. If you’re one of them, here are a few tips and ideas to consider before you buy used clubs.
One of the first things you want to check out before you buy used clubs is the condition of the club head. Look for face wear, or a shinny spot usually at the center of the club face. If you find these, it’s best if you put these back.
The lack of well defined groves, or indentations on the club face can greatly affect the ball flight.
Buying Golf Clubs For Kids

So you think your child is the next Tiger Woods or Michelle Wie? Or maybe you simply wish to share the game of golf with your child? Either way, getting kids started in golf can be confusing even for the seasoned golfer, especially when it comes time for buying clubs for kids.
Buying golf clubs for kids is not what it used to be. Gone are the days of buying an adult set and simply cutting down the length. Adult clubs have heavy shafts and heads that will make it even harder for your child to enjoy the game.
Any good set of golf clubs for kids will have lightweight heads, light and flexible shafts, and smaller grips, all of which will help your child make better contact and get the ball airborne more easily.
