Buy Used Golf Clubs

Many golfers searching to buy used golf clubs already know the brand and model they are looking for. The hard part is finding the best used golf club at a great price. Lets go through the processes most people use to buy used clubs.

  1. You know you want a MacGregor MACTEC NVG2 TOUR 9 Degree Driver so the first place you go is to your favorite search engine.
  2. Search for that specific club online with the term used in front of it. If your results are not what you are looking for, put quotes around your search term. This will bring up web pages that contain your search term in that exact order.
  3. You will see several sites selling the same model used club. Compare the prices you are seeing and the company or person that is selling it. Another issue you need to make sure you look at is shipping costs. You may find a cheaper used club at one company, then realize it costs more due to the added shipping costs. Many companies also offer free shipping.
  4. After reviewing the prices you realize that you can save an average of $150 on each used club.
  5. Ready to buy? again, look at price of club, shipping costs, condition of club, and trustworthiness of seller.
With some sites, it is difficult to know what condition the used club is in. Below is how Global golf lets their customers know the condition of the used clubs on their website.

Global Golf's 6 tier rating system for used golf clubs:

***** Mint used golf Clubs

These clubs have yet to be put into play and have no to very limited visible signs of use. This is essentially slightly shop worn stock product coming directly from the golf shop.

****Excellent used golf Clubs

These clubs have been extremely well cared for and have seen very limited play. They exhibit exceptional cosmetic appearance with only slight signs of usage.

***Very Good used golf Clubs

Clubs in this category have been well cared for while being played and used under normal circumstances. These clubs show typical signs of use, with no dings, skymarks or excessive wear.

**Good used golf Clubs

These clubs are very playable, but exhibit one or a combination of light scratching on the face, sole, or crown. None of these cosmetic alterations will affect the playability characteristics or integrity of this club.

*Fair used golf Clubs

Fair clubs, although playable, have one or a combination of heavy scratches, skymarks, or light dings. These clubs have been played, and give the appearance of use, but the integrity or playability of the club has not been compromised.

Poor used golf Clubs

Poor condition clubs are affected to the point of not being playable, therefore they do not offer these clubs to their customers.

Golf Swing Tips, Helping Your Golf Game

Maintaining a good golf swing is a never ending endeavor in each golfer's life. Even if you have a fairly good golf swing there are times when parts of your swing break down. Why this happens is a much thought over and discussed subject. When this happens you will find your self analyzing all the parts of your swing that take place before the club impacts the ball. When things go wrong with your golf swing you most assuredly start looking for good a golf swing tip to correct your problem.

Every good golf swing starts with a good address and setup procedure. However a good golf swing tip is to look at how and where you end your golf swing. The end of your golf swing will in many times tell you how well you preformed the basic parts of the swing prior to that point. Knowing what a good finish looks and fells like will give you the feedback and muscle memory to make a good golf swing.

The end of a good golf swing follow through should find your hands over your left shoulder and left of your head. This tells you that your arms have swung freely through impact on a path and plane that is relatively straight. Probably even more important is the after swing weight distribution. As you complete your golf swing rotation into your follow through, you should feel that about 80 to 90 percent of your weight should be on the outside of your front foot. Conversely only 10 percent will be on your back foot as you raise onto its toe. All of this movement must be conducted with good balance to the point that you should be able to raise your back foot without falling over. Without good balance you cannot really achieve a good golf swing.

Another good golf swing tip is to check your swing rotation. Proper golf swing rotation will end with your belly button and your sternum pointing at the target. This tells you that you have rotated you hips correctly. If you are not making it around for full rotation you probably slid your hips toward the target instead of rotating them. Another key indicator of proper rotation is that your front or left hip will be higher than the right or back hip. As a result your body will have noticeable tilt to the right. This means your back is on the same straight angle it was on during your take away and point of impact. All of which are good indicators of a good golf swing.

The end of a good golf swing can in many cases tell you what you are doing well and what you are not. A proper analysis of the end of your follow through will provide you with a good golf swing tip to correct any possible problems.
