Rentaclub.co.uk launches online golf equipment rental service

Rentaclub.co.uk, the UK's first online golf equipment rental service, is giving golfers the opportunity to hit their best shots with top brand equipment, whenever and wherever they want.   The exclusive new service will enable golfers to test drive new products just 24-hours after ordering the clubs online. Rentaclub features a simple, five-step process with a virtual assistant helping golfers select clubs beneficial to their game. The clubs are then delivered securely next day by UPS to the golfer's home, or a location of their choice, ready to be put into play.   Matthew Fagan, managing director of Rentaclub.co.uk, said: "Golfers love talking about new equipment, including the latest drivers, and how it will improve their game. However, new clubs can be expensive, so this is an ideal way to test drive clubs thoroughly on your own course before making a purchase."   "Having returned the club, if the golfer then decides they want to buy the product, Rentaclub.co.uk will refer them to an experienced local PGA professional within the TGI Golf network for a free custom fitting to ensure the clubs are perfectly set up for their game, guaranteeing optimum performance. They will also benefit from a £25 discount off the manufacturer's suggested retail price."   The service, which has the backing of leading brands, will offer drivers only initially, with models including the new Callaway FT-iZ, Nike Victory Red Tour STR8-Fit, TaylorMade R9 Super Tri (available March) and Cleveland Launcher DST (available late February). Driver rentals start from £25 for five days, including free delivery, pick-up and return.   Rentaclub.co.uk customers receive their clubs in pre-paid packaging, making it easy to return products. On the fourth day of their rental they will be sent an SMS text message reminding them to call UPS to arrange a pick-up the next day from a location of their choosing, including home or work.   Rental prices for fairway woods, hybrids, sets of irons, wedges, putters and full sets of clubs will be announced as the clubs are added to the rental list.   Where next?   Tour news: Dustin Johnson wins at Pebble Beach Equipment news: New TaylorMade drivers Competitions: Win golf prizes
