Iron sets are one of the biggest purchases most golfers make but not every golfer ends up with the right fit. The upside? You can take advantage when those sets hit the resale market. Buying used irons is a smart way to get proven, top-performing models for a fraction of their original cost. Just make sure to check the overall condition of the clubs—especially the grooves, since worn grooves can affect spin and control. With a careful eye, you can land a set that performs like new without paying full retail.
