How to Find Cheap Golf Clubs - 4 Different Options

If you are looking for cheap golf clubs, then read on, because I am going to tell you about the top 4 options that are available. Most people think of eBay when they are searching for the cheapest clubs but I am not a fan of buying clubs from a nameless person who is selling clubs of an unknown condition.

By all means, you can check out what is on offer at eBay but take into consideration the following top 7 online golf equipment stores that offer a great golf clubs discount rate. Generally, most online golf stores can give you a good discount, so let's look at the different types of clubs and my top 4 options for cheap golf clubs.

First we have the option of buying new clubs from the top name brand club manufacturers; TaylorMade, Callaway, Ping, or Nike (for example.) Of course, these are not the cheapest clubs that you can buy, but for those that really want clubs from the top brands can still save some money by buying online.

The latest offerings from these companies can be prohibitively expensive. Normally, these companies offer a great discount on last season's clubs. As an example, the Nike SQ Sumo Squared 5900 driver retails from $400 or more but the model it replaced, the Nike SQ Sumo Squared 460 driver can be found for only $200 or less. You can find these golf clubs for sale or even at closeout prices at some online golf stores; the top 2 being TGW and ScoreLow.

The second option is to go for second tier brand name clubs. The line between what is considered top brand name and second tier club manufacturers is becoming more blurred nowadays. For the sake of argument, the following clubs would be categorized as second tier: Adams Golf, Maxfli, Bridgestone, Mizuno, Tour Edge, Nickent, Hippo, and G.R.I.P. These are all quite cheap clubs but of a good quality and can be found at TGW or InTheHole.

G.R.I.P. is worth a look as they are less well known that the others. When it comes to cheap clubs, for the money, playability, innovation, and custom fitting options, G.R.I.P. is at the top of my list. These clubs are designed exclusively for the beginner or recreational golfer as they are so forgiving and easy to play; they bring the fun back into golf - you will only find these clubs at the G.R.I.P. official site.

Option number three is to buy preowned golf clubs, but not from eBay! There are a couple of online golf stores that specialize in preowned clubs that come with a 100% guarantee and warranty - GlobalGolf and 3Balls. Their clubs are cleaned, inspected, graded and rated; sometimes you will get a new grip and club headcover too.

Consider the fourth option on my list - cheap golf club clones. Although there are several golf club clone manufacturers, the one that stands out from the rest is Pinemeadow Golf. The make the best high quality custom built clubs that are comparable in performance and features to the top brands but cost a fraction of the price. Ping, TaylorMade, Cleveland, Callaway, and Odyssey are a few of the top brands that they clone.

So there you have my top 4 options for cheap golf clubs. Whichever option you choose to go with, you will be getting the best clubs discount rate. You can go for top brand name clubs for sale or at closeout prices, second tier cheap clubs, great value preowned clubs, or high quality yet cheap golf club clones.
