Used clubs anyone?

I am not a very firm believer in buying any golf clubs before trying them out. Believe me! I have tried to purchase on eBay but always came out short. But I read a great post just a few days ago and was surprised to see that someone had done extensive research on buying used golf clubs. This post is a must read for anyone wanting to look for some clubs.

But here are some tips; I think I would like to share with you golfers out there:

1. Be sure of what you want to buy. My advice is “if you haven’t play them before, don’t buy them”. There is always a reason why certain clubs are designed differently. For an 18 to 24 handicapper, don’t ever try to purchase irons which have a blade look. You are not as good as you think you are!
2. A driver that tells you that you will never slice again. WRONG! The problem more often than not is your swing plane. And a driver with an anti-slice solver comes with an offset design is a sure killer for making it slice even worse for an in to out swing.
3. Try your playing partner’s irons or if possible, find a driving range to try out the iron sets before you set out to buy them!
4. Cosmetics will impress your playing partners, not your play!!! All the new clubs look beautiful, so do models with make up but it doesn’t mean you have to marry them.
5. Selecting the perfect putter means you like its feel. Very IMPORTANT!! Try it if possible on a proper green. The putting mat is not even close to the real thing. Also, take your medicine and try all the lengths of shafts. If you have a continuous habit to miss 3 feet putts, try the long putter or the belly putter! If it is good enough for Vijay, it’s good enough for you.
6. BEST advice I can give you, Ask your golf professional as to which clubs will suit your swing. If you can afford it, go for custom fit clubs!
