The PROBLEM With Buying USED Golf Clubs!!

[@bobfilter6910]

I’m a high school golf coach and I “acquire” used clubs for the kids on my team. Grips are no big deal. One of the first things I did was set the vice up in my work shop and learn how to regrip clubs. I have a friend who sends me boxes of Golf Pride Tour Wraps for free but even still, you can buy your grips on sale and it won’t run you more than $5-7 a Club. Bottle of mineral spirits and a roll of grip tape thrown in there, that’s like $50 for a set of irons. Best way to bring used clubs back to life!

[@jeffreybrommer4409]

How do you like the water based grip tape ?

[@prod.hackyy_]

My old golf coach had a whole wall of old clubs in his classroom, had to had been 150 clubs he hoarded. He let me keep an adamsgolf 5 wood and it’s my favorite club.

[@rayballard34]

No “actually” about it. It’s real impressive

My son is 18 and started playing last year. Got him a v-steel 3 wood. An R7 driver and a set of Tzoid irons. All for around $120. Great clubs. I love the 3 wood. I have a dual railed TM 3 wood that was a Dick's exclusive that hits about like the V-steel. Loved the vid and catching up on older videos since I am still a fairly new subscriber.

I love that you guys find all these great clubs. We have nothing but garbage where I live. I am also super jealous that you have a golf store close by. Our only golf shop closed a few years back and now I have to drive 90 miles to get to the next closest one :(

[@MrJohnnyb74]

Learn to re-grip your clubs if you buy used. I use mid-size grips and have to re-grip anything with standard size grips. I have found clubs that have been extended and clubs that have been shortened. However, it's cheap to get them lengthened or just hack off an extension yourself. You can also buy super cheap, "take off", grips in new condition on eBay. It's really easy to re-grip clubs and worth your time.

[@ryanboggs5761]

Just started golfing this year! Love the content and try to watch a few videos every night. Wish the thrift stores around here( Buffalo, NY ) had better clubs!

Sleeping bag hoodie = mummy bag, you are correct, excessive for FL weather

[@pa-r6169]

@@StackedGolf not sure if you'll see this since its been a month, but as an avid backpack camper - be wary if that bag was stored compressed in that stuff sack she pulled it out of. Also, don't store it in that! That will kill the loft of the filling and severely degrade the temperature effectiveness. Which might be good being in Florida...but if it is a 30 degree bag expect it to be about a 40 degree now if it was compressed a long time! Hope that helps! 😁

John...those were 3.5° upright??? Holy moly!! I am 6'6" and have my clubs 3° upright, and I have my short irons 3° strong...hey I am old...I had them made strong because I am a Senior golfer now...and I needed it just to keep my normal yardage intact! Now my SW, & LW are the same. My Gap Wedge is an old King Cobra Oversized from the mid 1990's. It still looks like it's almost new. It never got used for anything but chipping and short pitches.

Words of wisdom at the end from John. Getting a bunch of used clubs cheap can make you change clubs more often than you should & make you blame problems with your golf game on clubs.

Hi John, at the beginning of the video you commented about a laminated persimmon club which is an oxymoron. Persimmon clubs were carved/turned out of a solid block of persimmon. Laminated clubs were the cheap alternative and used cheap woods as their material.

[@seancoxe1094]

I already have 'used club syndrome,' I"m afraid. I have a closet full of them (including 41 putters!). I've long given up on getting any better at golf, so now it's for amusement. I'll play a set of Ping original Eye irons (2i-sw) one day. Maybe some Callaway Steelhead x12s the next, and so on. Rarely the same clubs on consecutive rounds. It's fun, and I can always blame my bad rounds on the constant switching. And, yes, there'a a V-Steel in that closet, too.

I'm certainly addicted at buying clubs. I happily stumbled upon liking muscle back after being afraid of them many years. I have about 4 sets, net cost = free after selling so many. Better than getting fitted, however do swing in front of a launch monitor to find your speeds and tendencies. Last thing, it's very time consuming trying so many clubs, from range sessions to on course play. Tomorrow I will be trying a Cobra L4V driver. Almost all carbon, too ahead of it's time when it came out. Golf is fun no matter how you approach the game

I went to Cool Clubs Scottsdale for a driver fit about 6 years ago. They recommended I play a Graphite Design BB-6S stiff shaft. New one costs $400. I couldn’t afford it so I found one on EBay used for half the price. A few years ago I went back to Cool Clubs to get fit for fairway woods. They checked the specs on my current bag and told me I’m in the wrong driver shaft because it had been tipped making it play like an X flex. Now I’m way more careful shopping for used equipment.

Yeah learned that the hard way, ordered a set of irons from what you would think would be a decent dealer, I had planned to regrip the clubs anyway with my favorite grip, pulled the 6 iron grip, the shaft had been wrapped around a tree or something and then straightened out, the shaft (steel) was actually almost broken off, damage was hidden by the grips

speaking of special clubs . I used clubs that were my fathers for a long time the were Walter Hagans with persimmon woods from the 60 s . I kept slicing the woods all the time but didn't slice my irons. A friend gave me a Taylor Made driver and I started using this but I kinda liked the hagan 2 wood in particular situations. the friend and I were playing a course in Calloway Gardens and made a foursome with strangers that were very nice. I hit the 2 wood on a hole and of course sliced it but I had learned how much to correct. He noticed that that was my only slice and that it was a different club and I told him about the clubs. He was an experienced and good golfer. After examining my Hagan 2 wood he said it was a custom made club with a longer shaft and a "Hook Face " made for a taller person to correct for a hook. This definitely made since since my father was 6 ft 3 . When I asked him about the clubs he said they were indeed customized and that he had a hook which they helped with but he didn't know exactly how they customized them but that they did help the hook he had !

[@bobpegram8042]

You illustrated why lie angle is one of the most important golf club specifications there is. A club that fits in every way but lie angle will hit the ball sideways as you discuss. A club with the correct lie angle will usually go pretty straight even on less than perfect strikes. In general, the shorter the clubs, the more upright and the longer the more flat the lies should be (compared what is standard FOR YOU). If you get fitted for lie angle don't let them check only one club. Have them check one of the longest and one of the shortest irons and go from there. Standard loft gradation in a set assumes your hands are in the same spot with every club. Not everybody swings that way. Most people stand with their hands farther from the ground with the longer irons which makes the differences in lie angle between clubs less than the standard gradation.
