Standard Tips of Selecting Pre-owned Golf Clubs for Beginner Golfers

When you are about to commence playing golf, it is very natural to commence looking around for golf clubs. The important factor is to buy a set of old golf clubs and not a brand new set because you might discover 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 may not known which type of golf clubs can suit you best during this stage. As such, it is advisable to start with cheap used golf clubs. Listed below are some good your new golf club set from any sports shop, always visit the proper set up 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 well 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 bought the whole set of golf clubs by now, whether new or used set. As a beginner golfer, 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 view, 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 actually hold the clubs and give a full 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 select the type of iron club head – be sure it is made of stainless steel and not alloy head with cavity backed (hollow out in the back) as well as "over-sized" head. The main good point 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 no good then replace them. Those are not expensive and can be easily done by any pro or club repairman. Ensure all the grips are replaced with same size and design.

In beginner golfer 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.
