If the used golf clubs need to be re-gripped, you will need to pay additional RM300 to get every grip in the golf bag changed (it's about RM25 per club).

Also, verify there are no duplicate clubs within the used golf set. Moreover, make sure the Irons set must consist of at least eight (8) irons in either a 3-PW or 4-SW combination. Finally, look for any non-factory alterations (such as non-factory installed shafts).
