Buying Discount Golf Clubs
Overview
The allure of discount golf clubs is undeniable for many golfers, especially considering that a brand-new name set can cost upwards of $1,500. This article explores various strategies to find discounted golf clubs and examines the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
Understanding Your Needs: Get Fitted
Before spending money on golf clubs, it's crucial to know which ones suit you best. Investing in a professional club fitting by a certified club maker is essential. Despite its importance, only about 10% of golfers take advantage of this. Remember, testing a couple of clubs at a Demo-Day doesn’t count as a proper fitting. If you buy discounted clubs that don’t fit you, the savings are moot. Make sure you know the right clubhead, loft angle, shaft, length, and grip for you before purchasing any clubs?"new, used, or discounted.
Shopping on eBay
eBay is a major platform for buying used items, including golf clubs. With over 15,000 active golf club listings, it provides diverse options. As mentioned, knowing exactly what you're looking for is essential. Check the seller’s ratings to ensure reliability. A well-rated seller usually indicates a trustworthy transaction. We provide some eBay links here and, if you make a purchase through them, we earn a small commission. This doesn't affect your purchase price and helps support our site.
Exploring Golfsmith
I recommend Golfsmith for those interested in building clubs from components. Their website offers valuable information and resources for club building. If you’ve had a proper fitting, this can be a cost-effective option. Golfsmith also offers trade-in services, allowing you to trade your old clubs for discounts on new ones. This means they have many pre-owned clubs available, often at great prices. You’re protected by Golfsmith’s reputation and the brands they sell.
Checking Out Pro Shops
Local pro shops often sell last year’s models at a discount. For example, I recently saw a Cleveland hybrid available at half price because it was an older model. Pro shops regularly discount outdated inventory, and while manufacturers might tweak new models slightly, last year’s clubs often perform just as well. However, ensure they fit you properly.
Beware of Discount Websites
Exercise caution with discount websites. Many clones or knockoffs may look appealing but are often produced with inferior materials in low-quality factories. Unless you’re certain about the quality of materials and manufacturing, it’s wise to avoid these deals. The goal is to find quality discount clubs, not subpar ones.
Final Thoughts
A proper club fitting by a certified professional can elevate your game, whether you purchase high-end brand name clubs or discounted ones. A good fitter might also guide you towards custom-made clubs that fit your budget. For further insights, consider reading Tom Wishon’s book, The Search for the Perfect Golf Club.
