Golf Club Advice – What Clubs Are Best For You?

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008 Subscribe To Our Feed

Golfing for a beginner is an often written about topic, yet an area which is grossly overlooked is what kind of equipment should beginners start out with? Choosing your first set of clubs requires a degree of knowledge if you are to make the right choice.

There are lengthy books on developing the correct swing, practice tips and even training, but unfortunately the golfer who is just starting out to play golf, is left at the mercy of the pro-shop salesmen to buy his or her beginner’s golf equipment.

Golf equipment sales are big business all around the world even during a recession and an unbelievable amount of money is spent by manufactures to try and persuade you to buy their products, but advertising and endorsements aside, what does a new golfer actually require?

They get your favorite sports stars to endorse their products making them look like an even more lucrative bargain. However, every one is not a Tiger Woods and will not require the kind of equipment he uses from day one of learning to golf.

If you are new to golfing, using a Tiger Woods golf club will only make it harder on you because it was made for a professional, not someone who is just learning and only needs basic golf equipment or golf balls for example.

Golf clubs are going to be your most expensive purchase and therefore you should spend a lot of time researching on a set of clubs which will work best for you. It is advisable to not go by brands but what works for you, as they will affect the way you play golf.

Golf clubs are primarily made of Graphite and Steel. There are alternative materials too, like carbon fiber and titanium and composite alloys, but it is best to stick to the tried and trusted steel and graphite.

They produce far less twist, but don’t have the effective range that graphite shafted clubs do. You will have to use more power and a quicker swing to make the golf ball go the distance you need it to.

Graphite shafted clubs are far more expensive and they are not as durable or robust as steel shafted golf clubs. They also generate large power levels, and are therefore effective as driver clubs.

Choosing the right shaft flex is an important consideration too as this will be dependent on your swing style and speed. When your are just starting on your golfing journey, developing accuracy is the most important thing so ask your golf tutor what stiffness will best suit your current style.

Now that you are able to see beyond the advertising and endorsements and understand that it is about personal styles, you are in a far better position to make a sensible purchasing decision when you buy your next set of golf clubs or any other golf equipment for that matter.
