how do you think of this kind of golf clubs?

Golf clubs is real expensive; so many people are starting to buy second hand golf golf clubs instead of new ones. or to buy refurbished golf clubs, some also buy discount golf clubs,such as vovogolf i searched on google,The main reason that most all of the people purchasing these golf clubs give for the purchasing decision is related to the price. It is also good to think of the environment on it as well since the used set you bought is not going to end up in a landfill anytime soon. I think urchasing a set this kind of golf golf clubs is a great way to save some money on one of the most high-priced parts of the golf game.

    Yes... i think (I'm not sure what the question is, really). At any rate: there isn't any more "technology" in a driver today than there is one from 5-6 years ago... center of gravity locations can be altered slightly, but it's not that significant. You can go even farther back with irons and wedges- the consumer won't buy the "weird" looking irons/wedges that actually have game improvement specs, so the manufacturer's are stuck in the same basic shape restrictions. And putters.... if you found a brick on a stick you could putt with it just the same as anything else (if it felt good to you).

    People, I think, don't realize that the majority of their money spent on the "big boys" is to cover their advertising and sponsorships. Golf Digest said a few years back that it actually costs about $75 to make a driver- that's INCLUDING THE SHAFT AND GRIP. So, knowing that driver technology has been maxed out for half a decade, where is the rest of the $225-$425 going? Advertising and sponsorships, as I said earlier. Maybe a little "R&D", but that's mostly for cosmetics.

    Look at component companies like Hireko and GolfWorks... they don't charge anywhere NEAR as much as the "big boys", yet they do their own R&D. They're also not spending anything on advertising and sponsorships. You can get the SAME playability from a component brand (or even a clone) as you do the "big boys" at a fraction of the cost.

    I started golf last year and bought myself second-hand ladies Macgregors and have been gradually adding new clubs as I go along. It's the same expense in the long run but it's more of a gradual expense.
