Second Hand Clubs - Ebay

[Tom1988]

Hello, 

I've played golf on or off since since I was about 13 and have used the same set of Dunlop clubs since then. I probably play 5/6 times per year, but now that I've turned 30 I'm looking to play a bit more and I think after 17 years I'm due an upgrade on clubs! I'm going to just buy a second hand set on ebay for now until I'm taking it more seriously. Can anyone recommend a set of clubs that are good for relative beginners that I should easily find on ebay?

Thanks,

Tom

I recommend you go to a shop and hit a bunch of clubs. Find ones you like, then look on eBay for them. Previous models of that line of clubs will be less expensive. Example: Titleist AP1. The 718 version will be pricey. The 716 will be less. BTW, those are nice clubs for beginners.

Same with PING, Taylormade, Callaway, Srixon, Mizuno, etc. PING G line will have previous versions G25, G20, etc. There were moderate changes made in them, but the performance difference is slight. Their G line is very good too.

All these would be easy to find on eBay.

Alternative: Go to a decent golf shop and hit some of their used clubs. Tell them your plan The shop wants to turn these trade-ins around to recoup their $$.

The shop may charge you a little bit for a fitting, but they could also tweak the clubs you like if this is needed. Also, a good fitter can update you on some of the finer differences between 2002 and more recent clubs.

The demo days are an excellent "clearing house" to try different brands of clubs.

Once you have a better understanding of newer clubs, you could pick some up on eBay to change up your bag.
