Does it really matter if golf clubs are old and worn? What are the good clubs for beginners?

yair: Does it really matter if golf clubs are old and worn? What are the good clubs for beginners?
I’m wanting to buy a golf club set. I see clubs at the range I can use for free and one brand I remember is callaway. Is that a good brand? They have mostly worn golf clubs. I have played golf already and taken one semester class.
I just don’t think golf ranges would risk giving out good value clubs for people to borrow since people can easily steal them.

Just use what you can for a while. Used clubs are good for beginners because they are much much cheaper and you don’t have to worry about denting or dinging them like you would a set to 500 dollar clubs. After a while (6 months to a year or whenever you feel like your ready to move up) go to a pro shop and have your swing analyzed and see what a pro recommends for you. There are so many different clubs out there and everyone has their own preference so you really should spend a lot of money on a nice set without trying them out first to see how they feel and see if they fit your game.

Hope that helps… Good luck!!

i would assume as dings and small indentations build up, it loses a uniform angle of reflection. hey golf is an expensive sport. its not a rich person’s sport only by any means, but it takes significant time out of your schedule and nonexpendable money. if you play alot, it rly saves to buy an extra head if you rly like that club.
