The Most-Requested Used Golf Clubs in Australia (2026)

These are not generic "best of" picks. They are five clubs we rate and keep sourcing from Japan, chosen for real forgiveness, genuine value, or because they are getting hard to find in Australia. Here is what makes each one worth chasing.

The five at a glance

1. TaylorMade M2 7-wood

The M2 7-wood carries 23 degrees of loft, which puts it right in 9-wood territory. That matters, because a lot of golfers now want that high, soft-landing flight to replace a long iron or a hybrid, and the M2 delivers it in one of TaylorMade's most loved fairway ranges. Shallow face, easy launch off the deck, and a big reputation for forgiveness and distance. Worth knowing: the M2 7HL is a separate, higher-launch version built for slower swing speeds, so check which one you are looking at. For most players chasing a versatile, high-flying fairway that is genuinely easy to hit, the standard 23-degree 7-wood is the one.

2. Ping G430 Max 10K driver

This one speaks for itself. The "10K" is the whole point: Ping built the G430 Max 10K to reach around 10,000 in combined MOI, which makes it their most stable and forgiving driver. If your misses tend to scatter, this is the head that keeps off-centre strikes online and holds ball speed across the face. A straightforward pick for anyone who values forgiveness over workability, which is most golfers.

3. Ping G425 / G430 9-wood

High-lofted fairways at around 23 to 24 degrees have quietly become one of the smartest moves in the bag, replacing long irons and awkward hybrids with something that launches high and lands soft. The catch is availability. Ping 9-woods are getting harder and harder to find in Australia, and sourcing from Japan is often the only reliable way to get one in good condition. If you have wanted one, the advice is simple: grab it when you see it.

4. TaylorMade M2 driver

Pedigree at a value price. This is the driver Rory McIlroy put in play in late 2016 after Nike stopped making clubs, before he signed his full deal with TaylorMade the following year. He chose it for forgiveness and consistency off the tee, exactly the traits that made the M2 a runaway success on tour and with everyday golfers. Years on, a used M2 driver is one of the best forgiveness-for-the-money buys you can make.

5. TaylorMade Spider Tour / Spider EX

The Spider family has been among the most-played putters on tour for years, and for good reason. A heavy, high-MOI frame paired with a true-rolling face means off-centre strikes hold their line and pace far better than a blade will forgive. The Spider Tour and the later Spider EX are both excellent, stable mallets, and demand for them stays strong. If you struggle with consistency on the greens, a Spider is one of the easiest upgrades in golf.

Key takeaways

• Loft beats the number on the sole. A 23° 7-wood and a 9-wood sit in the same loft window and do almost the same job, so buy on loft and launch, not the label.
• Forgiveness is the common thread. The G430 Max 10K, the M2 driver and the Spider all win on stability, which is what actually lowers scores for most golfers.
• Scarcity is real. High-lofted Ping fairways in particular sell fast and are hard to replace locally, so act when one appears.
