How to Buy Used Golf Clubs For the Novice Golfer

What’s more, you still have to discover the type of golf clubs that fits you while you’re still learning. The best option is to begin with economical used golf clubs.

The method to select used golf clubs is to essentially grasp them and swing them to get a sense for what feels right. However, what is ‘feel’? As a rule, feel can be expressed as the way a golfer handles a club when they swing it, depending on the shaft flexibility and its swing weight.

For a novice, you ought to choose the cavity backed (hollowed out in the back), ‘heel-and-toe’ (or, perimeter-weighted) club head design, and oversized golf club. You ought to get larger club heads since they’re more forgiving and enlarge the ‘sweet spot’ which can create greatest distance in spite of off-center strikes.

Graphite shafts are perfect for novices even if it’s more costly than steel shafts. Its overall lighter weight permits the novice to swing the club more rapidly even with bigger clubhead.
