Discount golf clubs are certainly a temptation for many golfers since the price of a complete new name brand set can be in the $1,500 or higher range these days. This article will discuss various ways of procuring discount golf clubs, and the pros and cons of doing so.


Know Yourself- Get Fitted Properly


Before laying down a chunk of cash on golf clubs, it is imperative that you know what clubs to look for. I suggest a club fitting be a certified professional club maker. That is an investment every serious golfer should make, but less than 10% actually do this. And by the way, trying out a couple of different clubs at a

Demo-Day does not constitute a proper club fitting. If you purchase discount golf clubs and think you have saved a bundle, what good is it if the clubs are wrong for you? Thus, if you are looking for a discounted driver, for example, you should know exactly what kind of clubhead, loft angle, shaft, club length and grip are right for you. If you know all of this, then and only then does it behoove you to purchase any clubs, be they new, used, or discount golf clubs.

Discount Golf Clubs at Pro Shops


I recently was in a local pro shop and they had a new Cleveland hybrid for sale for half price. The reason it was half price was because it was last year s model. Golf pro shops have outdated equipment on sale all the time because they want to get rid of old inventory. The company, Cleveland Golf in this case, surely made a few tweaks to the clubs from one year to the next, but there probably isn t anything close to revolutionary (unless you believe the marketing pitch),

and last year s model will work just fine. But, as always, that s only the case if the clubs fit you.


Discount Web Sites


Watch out here. Many discount clone or knockoff clubs look good, but if you don t know better they were probably made in a low quality factory in China using inferior materials and workmanship.

What we are looking for here are discount golf clubs, not garbage golf clubs.


And remember, get yourself a serious club fitting by a certified clubmaker. You ll get
