Standard Points of Buying Second-Hand Golf Clubs for Beginner Golfers

When you are new and just about to start playing golf, it is very natural to commence looking around for golf clubs. The vital factor is to choose a set of used golf clubs and not a brand new set because you may feel that playing golf is not suitable for you later on and it will become a total waste in terms of money. Other reason being, you have not known which type of golf clubs can suit you best during this stage. As such, it is advisable to start with cheap old golf clubs. Below are some tips to help you selecting your first used golf club set:

Rental Golf Clubs
For beginner golfers, you normally play at a driving range where rental golf clubs are available. Find opportunity to ask your friends or other golfers consent to try their golf clubs at the range as well. By doing this, it can help you have many chances of trying different brand of clubs and can help you to decide which suits you best. After playing a period of time at the driving range, you will be able to have good feel on a particular type of golf clubs and developed the love to use only them.

Advice From Professionals
Do not just simply (buy your new golf club set from any sports outlets, make it a point to only visit the proper golf equipment shop where experts are available to provide good advice and guidance on choosing a suitable set. You can also look for a pro at your local golf country club or golf learning school as a source of information and advice. Another good way is to seek advice from even your own friends who play well or who knows things about golf clubs. Another additional venue is to search the internet as well as the forum on some review of used golf clubs. Remember this principle, what suit others might not suit you, as such is important to identify the golf club set that suit your ability.

Start with Half Set
Well, you might have chosen the whole set of golf clubs by now, whether new or used set. As a beginner, it is advisable to learn with half a set with the composition of number 5, 7, 9 irons, pitching wedge and sand iron, in addition, 3 and 5 woods plus a putter. At this stage the driver is not recommended as it is the most difficult to control and use. Most beginners will deliver better drive from tee box by using a 3 wood than a driver. In the same concern, the 2, 3 and 4 irons are also not advisable to use at this stage, as each of these long irons need an accurate strike from the middle of the club face with fast club head speed in order to deliver good shot. Do not forget that these long irons also less forgiving. Beginner golfers should master playing the half set before thinking about playing the complete set.

Feel of the Golf Clubs
When buying golf clubs, make sure you personally hold the clubs and try a complete swing as if you are hitting the golf ball. Depending on each individual, there is no fast and strict rule on how is the “feel” however most golfers will judge the feel based on its length, the grip, weight and the shaft flexibility.

Club Head for the Irons
Carefully choose the type of iron club head – be sure it is made of stainless steel and not alloy head and of cavity backed (hollow out in the back) as well as "over-sized" head. The main benefit of being over-sized is that they are more forgiving with bigger “sweet spot” that can produce accurate shots and less “tops”.

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 Club Grips
If the condition of the old golf club grips are bad then replace them. These are not expensive and can be easily done by any pro or club repairman. All grips that had replaced must be with the same size and design.

In beginning stage, most cases that let your game down are your swings and your equipment come second. Therefore, when buying golf clubs make sure you consider the golf club set that can fit your swing, body and game and resulted helping to improve your swing. When you swings are good and proper, the feel and confident on use of right golf clubs are greatest.
