- What clubs want?: The first advice, obviously, is to search the second hand market them we would buy new sticks. Golf Stores like Castellana in Madrid, have a very attractive market for used clubs from players sometimes changing on a whim in September, even several times a year. Thus, we can find attractive offers for high-end irons that have been hit only a dozen times and low handicap golfers.

- The head of the club: Experts say that if the head has the typical circular mark in the middle, a sign of a very long and intensive use, it is best to escape. Any defect or mark on the sweet spot is not recommended.

- The Rod: The first eye examination will reveal defects in a graphite rod or remnants of an aluminum oxide. Bad sign. Of course, passes the litmus test by taking the stick and stir it with some bad grapes to check the strength of the rod. Any sign of weakness, better not buy it. If you break the rod down, no discussion possible.

- The grip: More than one factor may be a good excuse to bargain. If the grip is worn or just ugly, we should stop and calculate. Some new grips for a set of irons will cost no more than 30 or 50 euros, so it’s a perfect argument for lowering the price in the event that the iron interest.

- Uniformity: It seems a joke, but it is not. We must take time to calmly review the whole game, making sure that the clubs are of the same brand and series, and none of them is broken.

- I can try? Of course, made ??to order, and that is interested in selling another, is not unreasonable to request the option of testing in the field for a few holes. Leaving behind all the above advice is the best way to know if these clubs are going to lead below 80 beats.
