How to Buy a Preowned Brand-Name Golf Putter
For those who are serious golfers, getting a new putter is like purchasing a new house. New advancements in putter design can help you lower your score, but most of that improvement comes at a high price. Even though the putter is the most-used club in your bag, it is still a single golf club, and many people agree that these new putters are priced very high.
There are several money-saving tricks to use when you are getting a new putter. One of the most obvious ways is to look for a used putter. Unfortunately,It’s a fact, though, that many golfers are scared off by the idea of buying preowned putters. But if there is any club in your bag that makes sense to buy preowned, it is a putter. Think about it - the putter only taps the ball and you don’t smash into the turf with it, so it doesn’t get nicked and scratched like the other clubs. About the only blemishes a putter will get is from transporting it in your car. So if you are in the market for a new putter and want a high-end putter, but don’t want to pay a lot, don’t forget to look at pre-owned 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. Scotty Cameron putters, manufactured by Titleist, use the best materials and have some of the most innovative designs, yet retain the look and feel of classic putter designs. Buying used Scotty Cameron putters will provide you one of the highest quality putters available at a very affordable price. Your golfing partners will drool when you pull your new Scotty Cameron putter out on the practice green. They’ll be even more shocked when they find out it’s a preowned putter and that you spent less than 50% of the original price.
Another well-known brand of putter is Callawy’s Odyssey brand. Odyssey putters are well-known on the PGA tour. Knowledgable gofers 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 used Odyssey putters. You’ll get to putt with the most respected putter brand on the market at a discount price.
One of the most long-lived brands of putters are Ping putters. Ping began fashioning innovative 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 supplanted Ping putters in popularity in recent years, Ping still offers a great lineup of exotic as well as traditionally-styled putters. Buying a used Ping putter is a smart choice for average golfers who want a well-known brand-name putter like Ping but don’t want to pay boutique-style prices.
Putting accounts for nearly half the strokes most amateurs take on the golf course. Most golfer use a putter on every hole (unless you are lucky enough to hole out from off the green!) So it makes sense to buy a quality putter. What isn’t smart for most is to pay the high 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 resellers. You’ll be happy once you start sinking all those putts!
