The game of golf is bigger and more popular than ever. Golf is now one of the most played sports around the world today, and everyone that plays requires a set of clubs. This means that there are thousands of different varieties of clubs available to buy so the task of choosing which ones are right for you can be quite daunting. Golf has some of the most recognisable brands within the world of sports that even most non golfers would recognise such as TaylorMade, Ping, Callaway & Titleist just to name a few. A modern set of golf clubs typically consists of three woods (the driver, 3 wood, and 5 wood), and sometimes hybrids. A golfer usually carries seven irons in the bag (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and PW) as well as a lofted wedge and a putter. The rules of golf allow you to carry fourteen clubs in your bag, so many golfers add another wedge or specialty hybrid. After all, the more tools we have in our toolbox, the more options you have to make doing your job easier! However, due to the fact that there are so many different clubs that a golfer needs, it can become quite confusing even to experienced golfers as to what clubs they need. There are many factors that come into play when choosing golf clubs to buy; loft, grips, height, shaft material, just to name a few.  The first mistake a golfer could make when buying new golf clubs is not considering buying used or second hand golf clubs. The large golf manufacturers around the world spend millions each year on research and development in pursuit of developing the best quality golf clubs possible with performance and durability in mind. As a result of this, many golfers choose to sell their used golf clubs. The high quality design of  modern golf clubs means they can be used for many years, whilst showing very little signs of wear and tear or loss in performance.  Even though it is sometimes more desirable to buy brand new golf clubs, especially when you see the pros using the brand new models on tour every year, buying second hand golf clubs is both more environmentally friendly and more economical for the customer. Often buying second hand golf clubs can save the customer half the RRP of the clubs brand new, if not more. Often the only reason the tour pros used thebrand new model of golf clubs is because sometimes the new technology helps them perform slightly better on the course by very fine margins, which in a major could make the difference when trying to make the cut. However, there is no need for the average amateur golfer that is not pursuing a career in professional golf would not notice a difference in performance between a brand new golf club and one that is 5 years old, or even older than that. Traditionally, golfers bought their golf clubs at large retail shops or at the pro shop at the golf course. Thanks to the growth of the internet worldwide, there are now many platforms where you can easily buy and sell second hand golf clubs with thousands of models from all over the world being easily accessible so that you can be assured that you will find the clubs that are right for you. One of the best and most trusted websites to go to when looking for high quality second hand golf clubs is Next2NewGolf (www.next2newgolf.com). Their website is the best place to buy second hand golf clubs because they have a large range of golf clubs from all of the world's leading manufacturers for sale, including clubs like second hand golf drivers for sale.  Another mistake a golfer can make when deciding which golf clubs to buy is not knowing what to buy. When there are so many things that influence what clubs are right for you, it can often get confusing, especially if all your friends and videos online all tell you different things. Different golf clubs are suited to different people.  Generally amateur golfers tend to use more forgiving golf clubs. Having a forgiving golf club with a larger ‘sweet spot’ allows the golfer more room for error when striking the ball whilst still hitting the ball straight. For example, PING claims that their G425 Max driver is the ‘most forgiving in golf’. For this reason an amateur golfer would find it worthwhile looking for a second hand golf driver for sale such as the PING G425 Max to improve their consistency on the golf course. Understandably some people would say the best place to buy second hand golf clubs is the traditional way at the pro shop or at a large retailer with a driving range so you can try before you buy. Whilst it's true that it can be beneficial trying a golf club before you buy it, there is no shame in going to your local retailer and trying a club and then browsing for the club to get a better deal online. One of the best online retailers and the best place to buy used golf clubs online is Next2NewGolf. They are 5 star rated on google from their customer reviews and have a great returns policy. This way, you can find the golf club/equipment that's right for you, have the products shipped straight to your door without any hassle and then have the reassurance that if the product isn't quite right, you can get a full refund. Lastly, a common mistake made by amateur golfers when looking to buy golf clubs is that people fall into traps of buying gimmick clubs and equipment. One of the best things to do as an amateur golfer looking for a new set of golf clubs or one club in particular, is to stick to well known and reliable brands. Arguably one of the most important parts of improving your game at an amateur level is to maximise consistency when striking the ball. The larger well known brands produce lots of golf clubs that are designed with reliability, consistency and forgiveness in mind.  Gimmick clubs manufactured by companies that aren't found in your average golf shop or online retailer often aren't what they're made out to be. Most of the time, gimmick clubs or fakes/replicas claim to have game changing technology that will help you perform better on the course whether it be driving longer distances or becoming more accurate. However, it is usually the case that they are cheaply manufactured and the claim is a misleading marketing campaign. You are more likely to gain driving distance by buying a high quality second hand golf driver for sale from a reliable used golf retailer such as Next2NewGolf, as their website quality checks and authenticates every club and piece of equipment that is sold on their website.

Background Before jumping into this blog, I want to give you a little bit of background about me, I write this as someone who has only ever bought premium quality second hand golf clubs. I personally don’t see the value of brand-new golf equipment when I can get it just 12 months later for around 40% less. This blog will highlight why the second hand golf industry is growing so quickly, and the brilliant opportunities available when purchasing second-hand. I will also give you a few of my personal tips on what you should look out for when purchasing second-hand golf clubs. The second-hand golf club market is, in my opinion unlike any other second hand sports sector. Technology in the golf industry is evolving year on year, or at least that’s what the manufacturers want us to think. With most major brands bringing out multiple new products usually just after the new-year, and of course with each new product comes different product variants. Combine this, with the enormous marketing budgets and ad campaigns from major brands all fighting against each other for who has the ‘longest, most accurate, most forgiving etc.,’ you know the script. This has resulted in many golfers changing their clubs every 12-18 months which I believe is why the second-hand golf club market is growing so quickly. From a consumers standpoint that can only be a positive! It just means we have more choice to which preowned, hardly used equipment is available for a fraction of the new retail price!  So here are my tips when buying golf clubs online: Don’t get done by the photos, one of the main risks when buying used golf equipment is that the pictures sometimes don’t fully represent exactly how a club looks when you unbox it. Make sure that the pictures of the product you find online are unique, this means making sure it’s not just an image taken off the manufacture website as that clearly won’t be the actual used golf club you’ll be receiving. The next tip would be to check the image quality, if the image is slightly blurred, or taken with poor lighting there may be a good reason for this, it is not uncommon for sellers to take pictures of used golf equipment at certain angles which may hide scratches, or paint chips. Finally make sure the seller is providing all the relevant photos of all the clubs you are buying, for example if they are selling a set of irons 4-PW, make sure there is an image or images clearly showing all seven clubs faces. You don’t want the irons to turn up with six being immaculate and the other looking like it has been used to stoke a fire! Unfortunately, there is no custom fit element to buying used golf clubs, so make sure to find out exactly what you need, and at the very minimum understand what flex shaft suits your game, and whether you need to purchase forgiving clubs suited to higher handicappers, or less forgiving clubs suited to lower handicappers. A simple way of understanding what golf clubs are best for you is to go for a lesson, golf coaches can of course help with your swing, but many have an encyclopaedic knowledge when it comes to golf equipment and what specific clubs you would be best suited to you. If you don’t want to spend on a golf lesson, simply asking low handicap golfers, who at one point will have been in your position, may also give you some insightful knowledge.  Make sure if you are buying from any online store, that they have a fair returns policy, the worst-case scenario would be to receive a product which you are not happy with and cannot send it back. Whilst checking the returns policies it takes two minutes to have a quick look at the company/seller’s recent reviews, as this give you a good understand exactly who you are buying from.
