Buying Cheap Complete Golf Sets

Buying Cheap Complete Golf Sets

Buying a golf set is not only a very daunting task – it can be very expensive as well. It is probably the biggest outlay you will make on your game, with the possible exception of a golf membership.

In this article I’ll look at a few of the best ways you can go about finding yourself a cheap complete golf set.

Where To Find Cheap Complete Golf Sets

The Internet

The internet takes much of the hassle out of buying golf equipment, and finding a cheap golf set is no exception. Before talking about the various options I would make a quick note – even if you buy your golf set online, always make an effort to take it for a test drive first. This can save you wasting your money on a bad buy.



Online Superstores

The online retailers are going to be one of your best options for finding a cheap complete golf set. They have low overheads and buy in bulk so their prices are going to be quite low.

Some of the best retailers include The Golf Warehouse, Rock Bottom Golf, Global Golf, & Edwin Watts Golf. Two things I would recommend you do are

1. Regularly check the closeout/clearance section of the website

2. Sign up to some mailing lists.

By using these two strategies you will give yourself a much better chance of finding that cheap golf set you are after.

eBay

Last time I checked there were over 180,000 results when I typed in the term golf – so there is rarely any problem finding something you need.

There are a few things I would always recommend you do before making a purchase from anyone on eBay

· Always check the reputation of the vendor

· Make sure there are photos of every item in the set.

· If the set is brand new, and the deal seems too good to be true – it probably is. Use your common sense, do your research, contact the vendor, and be willing to ditch the auction if things don’t seem right.

Component Manufacturers

Buying from component club makers is without a doubt one of my favourite ways to pick up a cheap complete golf set. If you have never considered them before I would say now is as good a time as any.

These manufacturers will make you a set of golf clubs that are custom made to your requirements, they will use quality materials, and they will charge you a fraction of the brand name manufacturers. What more do you want?

Clone Manufacturers

Clone club makers imitate the designs of the big brand equipment. There is a lot of confusion about the quality of clone clubs. Many people are of the belief that all clones are poorly made using inferior materials and should be avoided all together.

I wouldn’t go that far, but I would say you need to do your research. I have a simple strategy I recommend when considering purchasing clone equipment.

Only by from manufacturers who

a) Will custom fit the clubs for you

b) Will give you a trial period where you can use the equipment, and return it for a full refund if you are in any way unhappy.

By finding manufacturers who offer these features, you can guarantee that you are buying from a club maker who believes in their product, and are willing to back that up with their actions.

Buying a cheap complete golf set, does not have to mean sacrificing on quality. By taking your time and assessing all the options available to you, you should have no trouble finding a good sets of clubs that fit within your budget.
