Being naturally left-handed is both a blessing and a curse. Depending on who you ask and when you ask, it can seem like being left-handed is more of a curse than a blessing. This is particularly true when a left-hander is also a golfer and is looking for left-handed golf club sets. The good news is that a quality set of left-handed golf clubs is not hard to find and, with a little smart shopping, it doesn’t have to cost a left-hander his right arm.
Most major golf club manufacturers such as Ping, Callaway Golf, Taylormade and others also make the exact same models for both left and right handed players. Of course, the demand for left-handed clubs is significantly less than that for right-handed clubs, so the amount they actually produce will be less. This can sometimes result in certain sets of left-handed golf clubs being out of stock at your local sporting goods store. Most of the time, though, left-handed club sets cost exactly the same as right-handed models.
Golf clubs can also be custom made. This service is provided by a store specializing in custom golf clubs or by a golf professional who provides this service as an add-on. Custom golf club sets are a great option if you want a set of clubs that are the perfect fit for you with respect to length, shaft flex, weight, loft, and materials.
Custom-made left-handed golf club sets are a particularly good option for left-handed golfers. Just be prepared to spend a bit more on custom made clubs. This service is not cheap!
So what other options are available to left-handed golfers looking for left-handed golf club sets? One source for golf clubs of all kinds is to look for used club sets.
Every year, thousands of people take up golf with the full intention of learning the game and making golf a regular hobby. But then reality kicks in and they discover that golf is not an easy game to master or they never find the time to start. Then they find a very nice set of golf clubs gathering dust in the garage.
And do you think some of these failed golfers may also be left-handed? That’s something you can count on! And best of all, after they get tired of those expensive sticks taking up valuable space in their garages or closets, they’ll likely break down and put them up for sale for a mere fraction of their original retail price.
The good thing about most left handed golf club sets is that many of them have never been played or have only been played very lightly. This means that unless they have suffered severe abuse, they will be in near new condition. Imagine expensive Ping and Callaway games being given away virtually and left-handed varieties to boot!
And you can find not only men’s used left handed club sets for sale, but also ladies and youth sets. The important thing is knowing exactly where to look for used left handed club sets and then knowing how to assess the condition of the clubs and determine their true value. Armed with this important consumer knowledge, you’ll be in the driver’s seat when it comes to hooking yourself up with a set of used left-handed golf clubs.
