Purchasing used golf clubs can be a great way for a new or budget conscience golfer to find clubs at affordable prices. Many times, name brand clubs can be bought used in near pristine condition.
Before purchasing the club, it is a good idea to look at the club head for signs of excessive wear. If you see a brightly worn spot where the club strikes the ball, then the clubface will not make good contact with the ball and will effect the distance of the ball travel. You should be able to see grooves that have defined edges on the face of the club. This will assure you have good contact between the club and the ball.
Check the shafts of the clubs for worn areas or indentations. Look down the shaft and make sure it has not been bent or twisted. You can test the torque by twisting the grip and the head in opposite directions. If you meet very little resistance while twisting, then it is a sign of shaft weakness and should be avoided.
Choosing between a graphite and metal club should be determined by your own preference. What type of club you play better with should be the type you choose. Each person has their own favorite and when buying used clubs, you need select the ones that are best suited to you.
Alloy clubs such as aluminum are great clubs but for buying used they might not be such a good choice. Alloys are more susceptible to wear than those made from metal. Alloys can be a bit cheaper to buy but since your buying them used, try and stick with metal clubs.
