If you're a new golfer or just someone who is looking to save some money, buying used golf clubs can really save you a bundle. With so many places to my buy used clubs, you can sometimes find real good name brand clubs at a fraction of what they cost new.

When purchasing used clubs, you will want to look at the club head to make sure that there is no spot worn right in the center of the head where the ball strikes the club. If there is, the club has been used a lot and the worn club face will not contact the ball as well. You want to see some grooves with defined edges.

If the shaft of the clubs have worn areas or indentations, this could weaken the club and cause it to break. Look down the shaft length wise and see if it has been bent or twisted. You also want to test the torque of the shaft by twisting the grip and the head in opposite directions. If the torque is solid, you should not be able to twist it far. If you can easily twist it, then it's a sign of weakness in the shaft and you should avoid that club.

When you select a used club, you need to decide between steel or graphite. Graphite clubs tend to be lighter than steel and it really depends on your style of play. You also might want to re-grip the used clubs. You can re-grip them yourself for 10 to 15 bucks per club.

Clubs made from alloy such as aluminum are more susceptible to wear and tear than those made from metal. Depending on your budget, you might want to stay with the metal types to assure you're getting a used club that has not been worn down too much.
