How to Buy a Preowned Quality Putter
For those who are avid golfers, buying a new putter is like purchasing a new car. New advancements in putter design can help you lower your score, but most of that improvement comes at a steep price. Even though the putter is the most-used club in your bag, it is still a single club, and many people agree that these new putters are very expensive.
There are quite a few different money-saving tricks to use when you are getting yourself a new putter. The easiest way is to buy a second hand putter. But many golfers are scared off by the idea of buying second hand putters. But if there is any club in your bag that makes sense to buy pre-owned, it is a putter. After all, the putter only taps the ball and you don’t hit the ground with it, so it doesn’t take a beating like drivers or irons. About the only dents a putter will get is from the josltling around in the golf bag to and from the golf course. So if you are considering a new putter and want a nice one, but don’t want to pay the new putter price, don’t forget to look at used putters – they can save you a lot of cash.
One of the most advanced and most sought-after putters on the market are Scotty Cameron putters. These putters, manufactured by Titleist, use the highest quality materials and have some of the coolest designs, yet retain the look and feel of classic putter designs. Buying Scotty Cameron used putters will provide you one of the best putters you can buy at a very affordable price. Your golfing partners will drool when you pull your new Scotty Cameron putter out on the first green. They don’t have to know it’s used that cost less than 50% of the sticker price.
Another well-known brand of putter is the Odyssey brand manufactured by Callaway golf. Odyssey putters are well-known on the PGA tour. Knowledgable gofers consider them among the best putters on the market. Odyssey White Hot putters have a great feel due to the synthetic inserts used on the putter face to absorb shock and heighten the feel and touch of the putter. Oddyssey putters cost a lot so it make sense for most golfers to buy pre-owned Odyssey putter. You’ll get to putt with the most widely used brand on the PGA tour at a discount warehouse price.
One of the most long-lived brands of putters are Ping putters. Ping started manufacturing putters more than 40 years ago and more PGA pros have used Ping putters overall than any other putter. Although some of the newer putter lines have overtaken Ping putters in popularity in recent years, Ping still offers a wonderful showcase of innovative as well as classic designed putters. Buying used Ping putters is a smart choice for average golfers who want a well-known name-brand putter like Ping but don’t want to pay boutique-style prices.
Putting accounts for nearly half the strokes most amateurs take during a round of golf. You generally use your putter on every hole (unless you chip in from off the green!) So it makes sense to buy a quality putter. What isn’t smart for most is to pay the exorbitant prices of new putters. To get a great deal and get a great putter, be sure to also consider used putters from reputable used golf club outlets. You’ll look pretty smart once you start sinking all those putts!
