How to Buy a Preowned High-End Golf Putter
General January 13th, 2010
For those who are serious golfers, purchasing a new putter is like getting a new house. New advancements in putter design can help you male more putts, but most of that improvement comes at a high price. Even though the putter is something you use on every hole, it is still a single club in your bag, and most golfers feel that a brand-new putter is priced very high.
There are quite a few different money-saving tricks to use when you are getting a new putter. The easiest way is to purchase a refurbished putter. But many golfers don’t want to purchase used golf equipment. But if there is any club that makes sense to buy preowned, it is a putter. After all, the putter is used to gently strike the ball and you don’t smash into the ground with it, so it doesn’t get the wear and tear like drivers. About the only scratches a putter will get is from transporting it 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 certified preowned putters – they can save you a lot of money.
One of the most advanced and most sought-after putters on the market are Scotty Cameron putters. Scotty Cameron putters, manufactured by Titleist, use the best materials and have some of the most technologically advanced designs, yet retain the look and feel of classic putter designs. Buying a used Scotty Cameron putter will provide you one of the highest quality 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 golf course. Just tell them it’s a second-hand putter and that you spent less than 50% of the MSRP.
Another popular brand of putter is Odyssey. Odyssey putters are well-known on the PGA tour. Skilled golfers consider them among the best putters on the market. Odyssey White Hot putters are the most popular of series in the Odyssey putter line-up. Oddyssey putters are expensive so it make sense for most golfers to buy pre-owned Odyssey putters. You’ll get to putt with the most respected putter brand on the tour at a bargain warehouse price.
One of the most beloved 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 recent years, Ping still offers a spectacular lineup 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 hole out from off the green!) So buying a name-brand putter is a smart choice. What doesn’t make sense for most is to pay the high prices of new putters. To save money and get a great putter, be sure to look for used putters from reputable used golf club resellers. You’ll be happy once you start sinking all those putts!
