First and foremost is the cost savings you’ll realize.

Particularly if you are a beginner, or just a weekend golfer that enjoys getting out with some regular friends on an occasional basis.

I will assure you that unless you play on a regular basis or more competitively, equipping yourself for less money with a good set of used golf clubs will not affect your game in a negative manner.

And while we’re on the subject let’s not forget the big advantage dollar wise to buying used golf balls as well.

By putting your ego aside, if you are a mid to higher handicapper, your game is not going to notice the difference with used golf clubs or used golf balls but your wallet will.

Buying used golf clubs on the internet:

Callaway Golf  Preowned is a super website for getting a good set of reconditioned used golf clubs at a good price. They offer different levels of buying conditions and have an excellent selection of used golf equipment for you to choose from. They drivers, fairway woods, complete golf iron sets, individual irons, wedges, putters, even starter sets, and golf clubs for juniors.

Needless to say the internet is chalk full of places to buy used golf clubs. As I mentioned the Callaway Golf  Preowned is a great site to work with and you get the Callaway name and backing on their golf equipment. You can literally get a great set of clubs delivered right to your door at a fraction of the price.

For custom made golf clubs, clones and knock-off gosf clubs, another good store that I have used via the internet is Pinemeadow Golf. Pinemeadow custom makes drivers, woods, irons, wedges, and putters. I would strongly encourage you to visit the Pinemeadow Golf  site.

With the competition in the market place for your business, you are only a few mouse clicks away from saving some good money on your golf equipment. And with the two sites mentioned here you can get some great clubs at a discount prices.

Don’t get hung up on the idea of getting used golf clubs. Be realistic about the requirements of your game and taking a load off your wallet.

In fact, you may only grab them, take a few practice swings, check to see if they look and feel OK for your swing. Although, not the best way to fit yourself to your clubs, many people take this approach in buying used golf clubs.

Needless to say, this approach takes nothing about your physical structure, your swing, or your current ability into account.

If you are a beginning golfer or just underway with the game, all of the technical specs may not be that big of concern to you, but you should be a bit familiar with some what and why’s of golf clubs.

Choosing the right golf clubs for you is important; especially for those beginning golfers who are just establishing their golf swing. If your posture, grip, and setup are affected by improperly fitted golf clubs, then your swing and golf game may be off on the wrong foot right out of the gate with bad habits.

When it comes time to actually choose a set of used golf clubs for your self you may not be thinking too much about the technical specs of the used golf clubs you may be looking at.

So, keep in mind the importance of properly fitted golf clubs and how to determining the proper fit.

By definition in the rules of golf you are allowed to carry a maximum of 14 clubs in your golf bag at any one time. There is not any restriction on what type of clubs these must be… just a maximum number allowed. This is why you should opt for clubs that best fit your ability as a golfer.

For instance, long irons (such as the 1, 2, and 3 irons) are the most difficult to hit. As a beginner, you should opt these clubs out and look for as they are too difficult to hit and too unforgiving. You should replace your long irons with a 5 wood and 7 wood. So, let pause for a quick review of what we have in the bag so far.

Driver
3 – 5 – 7 woods
4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 irons
and a putter.

So, were up to 11 clubs with 3 remaining. This leads us to the very important short game clubs. I would suggest that is were you use your three remaining choices with a pitching wedge, a sand wedge and an in between the two (in terms of yardage) wedge know by most terms as the gap wedge.

If you opt to only carry two wedges (the pitch and the sand wedge) you may find that the yardage difference between these two clubs will leave you wishing you had that gap wedge to use.

In summary, although you may be in the market for a set of used golf clubs, do completely sacrifice functionality and what fits your game solely for the sake of price. Take a few moments to check out the Callaway Golf Pre-Owned Clubs web site and other such quality sites as Pinemeadow Golf.com.  With these two sites you can combine price, quality, and fit, into a good set of used golf clubs that will work for your game.

Let’s finish up.

Along with the low and slow take-away and not lifting the golf driver or cocking your wrists before they do so as a part of the natural motion of a correct golf swing, the must be some coordination and cooperation with your upper body and your hips.

You want these to parts of your body and your golf swing to work in harmony. So, as you begin your low and slow take-away you want to rotate your hips and your upper body in unison.

When your hips reach their maximum rotation away from the ball they’ll be at only about 45 degrees of what your ultimate shoulder turn will end up as. The key is (and I see this with so many that I work with) that you don’t want your upper body to get too far ahead of your hips or your hips not turn much at all.

If you don’t get your hips involved with the one piece take-away… they are going to eventually get in the way of the swing… force the club over the top of the swing path… and … well… bad things will happen.

Once you get to the top of your backswing your upper back will be coming close to actually facing your target… everyone’s flexibility is different… but the concept is you’ll create a natural torque between you feet, hips, and shoulders.

From the top of your swing you want to initiate the transition to the downswing by beginning your weight transfer with your feet and your leg drive from the inside of your back foot’s instep toward your front foot. Not… I repeat… NOT with your hands and arms.

The concept of making good contact with the golf ball with your golf driver is to think about sweeping the ball off the tee… not whacking at it. Remember in our lesson on golf swing help, I mentioned that with the driver, you will actually contact the ball on the slight upswing of your swing path.

If you’ve made a good transition with your weight from the top of your backswing and not fired the hands at the ball… you swing path approaching the ball will be on the same plane as your take-away.

Also, if you’ve accomplished the harmony of the one piece take-away and rotation of the hips and upper body, as you come into the hitting zone you’ll feel as though your body is behind the ball; your hips have rotated or cleared out of the way allowing the sweeping motion to take place.

Experiment when you are practicing with how high you tee up the ball.

I have found that when I work with people that if I tee the ball up higher than normal it at least makes them conscious of the fact that they are not going to be able to hit the ball with a descending blow… it’s tee’d too high! So, if nothing else if forces them to try to make contact with a sweeping motion instead of a ‘hitting’ motion.

Try it yourself on the range. If you’ve been hitting ‘at’ the ball, you’ll find this a bit awkward; but please stay with this concept until practice make permanent, and you’ll soon find a new friend in your golf driver.

Many times is the case that my friends over at Austad’s golf have great discounts and sales going on that really offer great value. You might want to take a quick minute to check and see what they have going on in terms of sales and discounts. Here’s a direct link to their golf drivers for ya.

First of all… and I speak with the folks I work with all the time… know when to use your driver off the tee. Tee box plus enough distance doesn’t always equal… pull my driver out of the bag and give it a rip.

Hey… even for all of us… sometimes your driver just refuses to show up. Remember… golf is a game of many parts and nuances… and it’s a game of scoring.

If you are not hitting off with your golf driver on a particular day… hit the club that gives you the best chance to put the ball in the fairway. This can be difficult I know… ego and all. But it’s the best decision for your game at that point in time.

Sure, hitting a good solid driver off the tee can set the tempo for the hole or even the day… but hitting bad drives off the tee with your driver can also set a different tempo and mood for the day as well.

Your goal with the any golf club off the tee is to get the shot in the proper location… the driver is no different. The goal of the driver is not unmitigated distance… we’ll work on your distance at another time. Getting the fundamentals of the driver and making consistent, solid contact that results in the ball landing in the fairway is the goal.

First of all, you must understand that since the driver is the club in your bag with the longest shaft it is going to be the most difficult to master. It’s just a physics thing… trust me. Knowing that the driver is the most difficult to and the most prone to error anyway will go a long way in keeping your frustration down. It’s tough club maintain a swing with… for everyone.

With the golf driver, you actually want to make contact with your golf ball on a slight upswing so as such you don’t want to do anything in your swing or mechanics that will promote hitting the golf ball with a descending blow.

With that in mind you want to position the ball just off the inside of your heel of your front foot. In other words, more forward in your stance than with your irons.

You backswing need to be low and slow… take the club back lower to the ground and maintain that low swing path until your arms begin the upswing naturally. Again, any type of lifting with hands or prematurely cocking of your wrist will only encourage a descending blow which is what we don’t want happening.

I can see that I’m getting a bit lengthy hear with the lesson, so what I am going to do is leave you with this thought process and mechanics and let you work on:

• Your approach to using your driver
• The set up to your ball
• The low and slow backswing with no premature lifting or wrist cocking

Let’s have you work on this and I want to next work with you on your hip and body turn and getting back to the hitting zone.

Befriending your driver conclusion next…

One that will not only look impressive, but will deliver the goods for you.

After all, it’s nice to impress, and maybe intimidate, when you first pull that bad boy golf driver out of the your golf bag and remove the head cover, but all of this will be short lived if you then proceed to launch your drive into the nebulous zone.

Let’s face it, for most golfers; it’s all about the impressive drive. Hammering the ball down the fairway.

The driver and what it represents and does is golf’s nemesis for beginning golfers and those of inflated handicaps. Yet, although this is the most difficult golf club in your arsenal, you still want to learn to hit it first. A bit of a conundrum to be sure. Yet is power that the club wields that drive us to such insanity.

And manufacturers are more than accommodating to feed your ego. They are constantly coming up with and improving the golf driver design in order to deliver the golf ball further and more accurate toward its intended target.

Today, the best golf driver heads are rivaling the size of those toy plastic drivers you had as a kid. The one’s with the huge sweet spot. After all the point is, don’t worry about how marginal your swing is. Just make contact baby.

Many of the big oversized drivers are built to the largest legal size as defined by PGA rules and regulations. Combining the super sized head with today’s technology that keeps the club actually light enough to swing and you’re standing on the first tee with a loaded howitzer. Today’s ultra sized, ultra light, and a trampoline for a face will launch you golf ball long and high… even into the woods or the next fairway. But you don’t care if that happens… no, not at all because it still looks impressive damn it.

So, what is the best golf driver?

Easy, one that works for you. If you are just starting out or still working and making larger changes to your golf swing and understanding of said swing, be advised that your swing will evolve greatly.

So, with this in mind let’s hold off on dropping some major bucks on that monster driver and let your swing settle a bit into place first. Matching golf clubs to your swing is difficult enough after your swing changes and your learning curve have leveled off. Don’t break your budget on driver right out of the gate. Consider, getting yourself a used driver, or clone or knock-off to take you through the early stages.

Once you gained more confidence in your swing and you feel that you have reached a level where your swing maintains a fairly consistent plane and tempo, then go out and get that bad boy driver and lock and load!

Here are a few good online shops to get some great golf drivers and a fraction of the price.
