After you buy
What a used club of this type usually needs. Plain Amazon searches: we earn nothing from them.
Putter cover
Milled faces and soft inserts mark easily. Pick a blade or mallet cover to match the head shape, and keep it on in the bag and the trunk.

Most used clubs arrive on the last owner's grips. If they are shiny, cracked or slick, regripping is the cheapest way to make a used club feel new. Match the grip size to your hands, not to what came off.
