Are you currently planning on buying some new clubs for the upcoming golf season? Spring time is a good time to browse around for any new set of iron because the manufacturers are releasing their new products to market. For the budget conscious golfer, this is good, not because you want to buy the latest as well as golf irons, but because golfers will be selling their old set. Refurbished golf clubs are a great purchase for many golfers. Just because a golf set is 1- Three years old, does not mean the golf clubs can be harmful. Most golfers don't buy a new set of golf clubs every year, and lots of wait 5- 10 years to purchase a new set.
Where you can buy Refurbished golf clubs
There are lots of locations to buy refurbished golf clubs. Some be more effective locations than the others, mostly because some places just have more inventory which supplies more choices. Based on where you live, many of the brick and mortar golf retailers purchase and sell refurbished golf clubs. In addition to the golf retailers, most of the online golf retailers also will buy and sell used golf sets. Finally, eBay is yet another great option to buy refurbished golf clubs. eBay includes a large inventory of golf equipment, but there are some issues with eBay you need to be aware of while buying.
Brick and Mortar Golf retailers
Golf retailers like Golfsmith, Golf Galaxy, PGA Superstore, and Edwin Watts all buy and sell used golf clubs. As you visit these locations, all used golf clubs will be in a section that belongs to them where one can view and check out them out before you purchase them (in the simulators). You'll be able to get an understanding of the condition of the club(s) before you buy them. The costs at these locations will be slightly greater than you will find online.
Online Golf retailers
There are so many online golf retailers that it is hard to list out all of them. All the brick and mortar retailers have online sites too. Some of the larger online sites are RockBottomGolf, Amazon, Global Golf, 3Balls and Discount golf. These places cash larger online presences than physical stores. Buying used clubs online is a bit more difficult because it is hard to verify the condition of the club(s). Each site will have there own grading system, and describe the club's condition as best they are able to. Some sites offer far better information than others. However, the prices you will find online are often less than at a physical store. Of course, you will need to possess the clubs shipped, which means you cannot get out there and have fun with them immediately after you buy them.
eBay
eBay is a great place to buy new clubs. However, you need to make sure you are not receiving ripped off. Make sure you browse the seller's feedback and don't bid or buy items from sellers with questionable feedback scores. eBay also includes lots of fake clubs which are manufactured in Asia. You need to be conscious of this fake, and when something doesn't look right, I would avoid that auction and watch for another one. eBay includes a very large inventory, so wait and another auction will come along.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the best road to buying new golf clubs is to buy them used rather than a brand new set. Used clubs are much more affordable for everybody without sacrificing any quality.
