Used Tour Edge clubs are consistently cheaper than equivalent-age clubs from better-known names, because demand follows the badge rather than the engineering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>What to check on metalwoods\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Adjustable weights and screws present.\u003C\u002Fstrong> The Exotics drivers use sliding and screw-in weights, and a missing one is a real problem to source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Hosel for reshaft signs.\u003C\u002Fstrong> Confirm what shaft is actually in it rather than trusting the listing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Face and sound.\u003C\u002Fstrong> A dull or tinny sound on a titanium or carbon head can indicate a crack. Sky marks on the crown are cosmetic and useful for negotiating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>What to check on forged irons\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Lie angle history.\u003C\u002Fstrong> Forged heads bend easily, which is a benefit when fitting and a risk when buying used. Ask whether the set has been adjusted and to what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Groove wear on short irons.\u003C\u002Fstrong> The 9-iron and pitching wedge wear first. A fingernail should catch on every groove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Set consistency.\u003C\u002Fstrong> Every club should have the same shaft and grip. Mixed sets get assembled from parts more often than sellers admit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>The lifetime warranty question\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Check whether it transfers. Warranty terms vary by brand and by purchase route, and a warranty that only covers the original owner is worth nothing to you. Ask before assuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>What is safe to ignore\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Bag chatter, sole scratches, worn grips. None affect performance, all reduce the price, and regripping is cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>The models to target\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Previous-generation Exotics forged irons, older Hot Launch combo sets, and Exotics fairway woods and hybrids. The hybrids in particular hold up well, since the technology in that category moves slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cblockquote>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Buying tip:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Ask for a photograph of the sole showing the weights and the model stamping.
