2手桿所看不到的風險和問題!上集

現在球桿每年出新款,一堆桿子在市場上流動。除非你是玩桿人士或是追求最新要屌爆你的球友們,不然都要等到產品過季再購買。這樣價格基本都有5~7折的優惠(美國)。

當然一些人也會在網路上找桿子,在一些論壇或社群群組裡,看到有人把舊桿拿出來賣。所以現在買球桿的管道也變得非常多元。除非你買新品,不然以2手球桿來說,產品很多的狀況是你所看不到,而賣家也不會說明太多產品細節讓你評估。

先說2手桿的看不見問題;這桿子就算外表看起來很新也可能打了幾百下了。尤其現在很多店家都有室內擊球測試區,對於桿子的磨損是非常少。更重要對於球桿的壽命和最黃金的時期就是最初的100~600下。

2手桿很可能就超過這個使用次數。你拿到的產品多半都是桿子性能已經進入衰退期了。這都是桿子看起來頭好壯壯的情況,沒有任何一位賣家會去算這桿子的使用擊球次數,還有詢問原本使用者的揮桿速度、節奏因素。

還有一個狀況就是桿子本身的規格,已經被調整改變過了。有些球友桿子到手,就會調整規格成他希望的狀態,所以桿子的重量,硬度,角度,零件都可以被改變過。尤其鐵桿,挖起桿和推桿。

這些調整也多半不在銷售過程被提出來。或是產品本身的實際規格和標示數據不正確。說穿了就是籤王!買家也不會詢問這類比較專業的問題。所以買賣雙方都在一個資訊不對等下進行買賣。這對買家就相對不利,也無從瞭解球桿詳細資訊。

這種狀況,多半個人用起來覺得太重/太輕,太硬/太軟、太長/太短等問題。打不順手才會考慮更換,但多半也用一陣子還是打不起來才放棄。當然你沒有實際用你不會知道桿子的實際感受。

另外很多桿子多半已經被轉過很多手,這塊的資料也不會被提出來。因為多數買家聽到一支桿子被轉手很多次,就覺得桿子肯定有鬼才會被賣掉。

實際上一些玩桿的人都會對球桿保存很好,因為他打幾個月就會脫手。在桿子還有價值,就會賣掉。厲害的玩家,還不會賠錢,反而賺錢。只要有不錯的購買渠道。我知道就有幾位網路挺知名的球友就是如此。因為他們有和我購買過東西。

一些桿子被轉很多手,都是經過這類玩家的恩寵,但外觀上看起來都不會太差。所以外觀是2手桿的最大障眼法。而一般球友如果身邊有熟的朋友要賣桿子,也比較清楚使用者的狀況,和桿子使用時間,倒是可以下手。

要不就是有熟的店家,如果有試打桿,或其他客人打不順手要換桿的情形,就可以考慮購買。而這些機會都在店家手上。購買上也相對有保障。所以時不時去店家那邊泡茶練笑話,也是重要的關係建立。

熟的朋友或店家多半可以讓你打看看。二來有問題都可以詢問朋友桿子賣的原因等。關鍵是可以得到桿子實際狀態和資訊。如果還想做朋友或維持客戶關係,這些資訊就不會造假。所以熟的渠道是很重要!

Before you purchase the used clubs, you need to know the risk and problem?

There are tons of new golf clubs released each year. If you are the gear freak, blogger or yoububers, you need to obtain these new stuff to show to your friends and fans. For average golfers, you can get the discount on special events or off season. You do not need to purchase at original price for golf clubs.

there are millions of used clubs or refurbish gears on the golf forum, auction sites and social communities. The prices used to be at least half of the original tag. Of course, it is the source for golfers to consider and purchase. Unless you are professional in golf clubs, you need to be aware of basic golf clubs information and knowledge in order to pick the right gear. It's not an easy job but if you would like to save your money, you have to learn it and know it before making the move.

Most of used club sellers would not release the truth of the club on product description. It's hard to tell through the photos of the clubs for the real usage and material condition. Even I shop on the used club site, I do not have the idea of which is good to buy? It's high risky for golfers without the club profile and condition.

There are many used clubs with great condition or mint appearance for sales. But that doesn't mean it's brand new or like new in performance. Perhaps it's been hitting over hundreds times indoor with mint condition of the appearance. You can't judge it through the pictures or video. Only golf guru can feel it. I can feel it through impact feel, impact sound and shaft loading and unloading feedback. For ordinary golfers, it's like buying lottery for used clubs.

Some of the used clubs are changed the specification and reshaft. With such club, it's tough to know the club usage and availability on performance? You have no idea whether or not it's been tipped with S flex. Maybe it's not second-hand condition, it's third or fourth handed. Sometimes, the seller doesn't catch the whole picture of the club. That's the main issue of used clubs purchasing.

Unless you can try the club before purchasing. It's possible, but only through your personal network and good relationship pro-shops/workshops. I would rather to consider the used clubs through friends or reliable shops. If these people wants to keep the relationship, you can get the true information of the club without difficulty.

Some golf club fans trade used clubs frequently as the veteran. They intend to sell the clubs when they purchase. As a result, they would take good care of the club for later selling. Some active golfers from golf forum and golf community are good about it for making the profit. The key of purchasing used clubs is not to judge through the appearance.

下集開始

現在我反而覺得找有信用的商家,買2手產品會比較有保障。因為產品狀態商家也知道個程度。很多商家都有幫客人代售,或把客人用過的桿子買下了轉賣。對桿子的狀態和使用也清楚。

如果桿子的來源不清楚,店家也不敢收。後面賣掉產生問題或糾紛反而更麻煩。這類桿子多半是經過一手和瞭解使用者的基本資料。這對於後續買家就能清楚知道桿子的真實狀態和可能的規格。

這也是和網路上的產品五花八門,眼花撩亂,但產品資訊卻少的可憐。很多產品說明就是避重就輕,前手是怎麼用或桿子實際狀態都完全不知道。

像工坊或球具店比較會有舊桿銷售。我自己也會幫客人賣退下了的桿身,桿頭或整支桿子。我會把前一手的資料,使用時間和產品規格公布。因為我瞭解客人也想知道桿子特性規格,所以都在自己客人圈就賣掉,也不會拿出來網路賣。

這也是我認為找有信譽的商家比較靠譜,而且好的2手商品,店家多半會先推薦給一些好客人參考。所以好東西要流出來的機會是很少。這也需要先和商家建立一些關係,才會有好貨推薦。

2手桿雖然有價格優勢,但隱藏在價格背後的問題,是很高的風險。我自己以前也買過不少2手桿,用錢學到不少經驗。所以我現在不會去買二手桿。

因為買過季產品,價格也和2手桿差不多,過季產品再重新換桿身,調整規格,反而用起來虎虎生風。但2手桿的風險卻非常高。往往買到了後,實際測量規格才知道有一些問題。比如桿頭太重,桿子太硬,太重,太長....

一些日本小眾桿子就沒有太多二手桿可選,而這類產品的風險就更高。因為好用、好打的桿子是不會賣掉,不好打的產品,你買下來也不見得你可以發揮出桿子的實力。

很多2手桿的性能都被過度放大。只要好好想想就知道;如果這麼好,幹嘛要賣!所以回過頭來,要問你自己;你要適合你的桿子,還是要個品牌加持?

我買二手桿多半是要重新調整,更換零件去設定我要的規格來用。也是要瞭解這個品牌產品的特性。簡單說就是以玩桿的角度去買2手桿,可以用最少的錢,去瞭解不同品牌產品的優缺點。但一般球友買二手桿是要去使用,發揮桿子效能和自己動作運作順暢。這兩種出發點是不同也會決定產品選擇的差異。

通常是推桿我會考慮買二手,因為使用的頻率不高,耗損和產品性能衰退沒有其他桿子快。所以買2手桿需要清楚瞭解,自己後續要怎麼去調整改變球桿,以成為你可以發揮的武器。

這樣你會得到更多樂趣和知識。如果2手桿是店家產品多半可以試一下,這樣買到地雷的機會,也可以控制在最小。網路上買東西的風險是實體店家好幾倍。各有優缺點,也是大家必須要做足功課才能買到自己期待的桿子!

I sometimes help my customers to sell the retired clubs. For such clubs, I have full club information on my database and post to my internal group, it's gone quickly. Since my customers know I do good job on club profile and the clubs are built by my hands, there is no question on the quality and original source. It's hard to release to public for such products.

This is the good example for golfers to know if you would like to get the good used clubs, you have to build good relationship with reliable workshops or pro-shops. They have the good sources for used clubs and that's the items you should focus on. More importantly, if there is the problem on the used clubs you purchased, you can check with the shop, they will take care for that or give you the explanation.

The reputation is what they care the most. On the other hand, you are unable to ask for the return or complaint for online used club sellers. Even they accept the return, it's taking hassles for return process. That is the condition you need to evaluate before purchasing online.

However, I would recommend people to consider the off season clubs which is new and not the updated models, but there is good deal to take in pricing. I purchase the off-season clubs from time to time and it's brand new without risk. You only need to subscribe the online pro-shops or local stores newsletter for getting the updated discount information. Or before the holiday season, there are big discounts released. That's the best way to get affordable clubs.

For some rare Japanese golf clubs, it's hard to get or tried in local workshops. The risk is extremely high for average golfers to consider. If the price is too good to be good, there should be the problem for the club. There is no reason to sell the club, if the club is good. You need to think with your personal demand and requirement instead of seeking for the branding clubs.

Putter is the only used clubs I would like to buy. Since it's not like other clubs with usage issue. I used to get the putter and recondition or change the specification for my personal play. In this way, I can enjoy the putter head's performance and feel, at the same time, I can fully control with re-specification.

Thus, before taking the move, do some homework and research on the golf clubs for both online and offline. Do not be led by the club's appearance or product description. It's fun to reach your good golf clubs.
