As a beginner or novice golfer, you want to avoid the expense of purchasing a “New” set of golf clubs, and concentrate your efforts on finding a good set of “Used” golf clubs (also know as “Pre-Owned”.)

Major golf club manufacturers introduce new lines of clubs almost every year. With the yearly advances in golf club technology, many golfers regularly upgrade their existing golf sets in pursuit of improving their game and lowering their handicap. This leaves the golf club market flooded with high quality, bargain sets of golf clubs.

The trade-in market has become so huge, that a few major golf club manufacturers have launched their own sites to meet the demand, like “Callaway Golf” (www.callawaygolfpreowned.com.) Surf a few sites and compare the quality and prices of numerous club sets. The selection and variety of clubs available changes daily, so you will have to keep a close watch to find the best deal for your golf clubs.

Beginner sets of clubs normally include a “Wood” or two, and a “Putter” as well. The best choice may even be a “Pre-Owned” beginner set of clubs. Don’t confuse a set of “Beginner” golf clubs with “Kids” golf clubs, which come in smaller sizes and/or lengths for kids. Your local newspaper is also a great place to look for a set of clubs.

All year-round you will find bargains on some quality sets of golf clubs. This also gives you the opportunity to see and swing the clubs. Check out the condition of the grips, shafts (steel or graphite), and the club heads. Compare them to other clubs you have seen for the same price. Many people are selling some very nice clubs because they have either updated their own set of clubs, or have given up the game of golf.

Local golf stores and sporting goods stores are a good place to shop for a “Pre-Owned” set of golf clubs. Many are now accepting trade-ins, toward the purchase of a new sets of clubs, and re-sale the use golf clubs at good prices.

Furthermore, you are yet to find the type of golf clubs that fits you during the learning stage. The good choice is to start with cheap used golf clubs. And here are some guidelines to help you to hunt down your first used golf club set:

Golf Rental Clubs

First, you may want to play with the rental clubs at a driving range. Rely on golf expert

When you go out to buy used golf clubs, you should always rely on people who know golf equipment well. Golf beginner’s half set

In general, the half set combination consists of five iron clubs, including 4, 6, 8, pitching wedge and sand iron, in addition to 3 and 5 woods plus a putter. Besides, a lofted wood is more forgiving than the thin blade of an iron club heads.

The half set combination not only sufficient for most novice golfers on the golf course for every situation but also makes club selection much easier. It is a good combination of clubs to help the novice to improve their swing technique until they are good enough before they advance to the full set golf clubs. Golf Feels

The feel of a golf club clearly seems to be all-important. Iron Club head

Look for club head that made of stainless steel and avoid inexpensive alloy heads. For beginner, you should select the ‘heel-and-toe’ (or, perimeter-weighted) club head design, cavity backed (hollowed out in the back) and over-sized golf club. Golf Shafts

Golf Grips

Grips are fairly easy and inexpensive to change by a pro or club repairman. Finally, if you are just starting out with golf, chances are your swing is more likely to let you down rather than the golf clubs itself. Having said that, it is still important to try out the golf clubs before buying them in order to find a golf club set that suits your swing, body and game.
