Guide
to Buying Used Golf Clubs for Beginner Golfers
by Andrew Loh
If you are just starting out to play golf, you
should never buy a new golf club set immediately as you may discover that this
game is not for you later on. Furthermore, you are yet to find the type of golf
clubs that fits you during the learning stage. The good choice is to start with
cheap used golf clubs. And here are some guidelines to help you to hunt down
your first used golf club set:
Golf Rental Clubs
First, you may want to play with the rental clubs at a driving range. During
this time, don't be afraid to ask your friends or other golfers to try their
clubs on the range. This is a good opportunity for you to judge which type of
clubs is right for you. After hitting for a period of time at the driving range
and you think it is time to buy your own clubs, then ....
Rely on Golf Expert
|
When you go out to buy used golf clubs, you should always rely on people who
know golf equipment well.
You can look for your local pro at your local
municipal course as a source of information and advice. Or you can consult the
experts at the golf shop or even your friend who plays well or who knows
anything about golf clubs. Alternatively, you can search the Internet for used
golf club reviews. You can always ask people for advice but keep in mind that
what suits them may not necessary prove good in your hands. Therefore, it is
more important to identify the golf club set that suitable to your ability
yourself.
Golf Beginner's Half Set
The driver is not recommended in the beginner's half
set because it is the hardest club to control. Majority of beginners would
achieve better results using a 3 wood on the tee box. Likewise, 1, 2 or 3 irons
should be avoided at the early stages of the game, as each of these long irons
requires an accurate strike from the middle of the clubface with plenty of club
heads speed in order to achieve good results.
In contrast, a 5 wood with
distance almost equivalent of the 2 iron - the ball can still travel a fair
distance despite being hit off-center. Besides, a lofted wood is more forgiving
than the thin blade of an iron club heads.
The half set combination not only sufficient for most novice golfers on the golf
course for every situation but also makes club selection much easier. It is a
good combination of clubs to help the novice to improve their swing technique
until they are good enough before they advance to the full set golf clubs.
Therefore, you have to make sure to select a golf model for your half set from a
reputable manufacturer that can be added to at a later stage.

Golf Feels
The best way to purchase a used golf clubs is to actually hold them in your hand
and swing them to get a feel for what you want. The feel of a golf club clearly
seems to be all-important. But, what is 'feel'? There is no scientific formula
that defines it. In general, feel can be described as the way a golfer feels a
club when he or she swings it depends on its swing weight and the flexibility of
its shaft.
Iron Club Head
Look for club head that made of stainless steel and avoid inexpensive alloy
heads. For beginner, you should select the 'heel-and-toe' (or,
perimeter-weighted) club head design, cavity backed (hollowed out in the back)
and over-sized golf club. You should get bigger club heads because they are more
forgiving with enlarges 'sweet spot' that can produce maximum distance even with
off-center contacts.
Golf Shafts
Graphite shafts is ideal for beginner even though it is more expensive that
steel shafts. Its lighter overall weight allows beginner to swing the club
faster even with enlarged club head.
Golf Grips
If you have purchased used golf clubs where the condition of the grips could be
less than perfect or the grips don't fit properly for you, then make sure you
replace them. Grips are fairly easy and inexpensive to change by a pro or club
repairman. Ensure all the grips are replaced with same size and design.
Finally, if you are just starting out with golf, chances are your swing is more
likely to let you down rather than the golf clubs itself.
How to Play Golf: A Complete Step-By-Step Course from Starting Out to Advanced Techniques
Having said that, it
is still important to try out the golf clubs before buying them in order to find
a golf club set that suits your swing, body and game. Most importantly, makes
you feel confident when you use it.
