The Right Golf Clubs Can Make A Difference

There are so many clubs out there to choose from and deciding which set to get can be a tough decision. Here are some tips on how to narrow down the selection.

Tip: Check your stance. If you don't know if you're standing properly, you can find out by doing an easy test.

Decide on your levels for playing
Some players only play on the weekend or less and there are others who like to play more often. If the occasional game is your pace, a low to mid performance club can work for you, while a high performance club is suited to those who will play more regularly.

Tip: Before you begin to play your round, take a moment to get to know your playing partners. You want to have a good relationship with your partners because you will be playing with them for at least the next four hours.

Set a budget
The notion that the more expensive the club, the better it is simply doesn't hold water anymore. If you do enough homework and read reviews you'll find a club that matches your level of interest. Don't be afraid to check out used clubs as they can give you the best chances of getting the club you need at a good price.

Now that you know your interest level and have established a budget, here's a brief run-through of kinds of golf clubs and what each one does.

Tip: You need to educate yourself on keeping score in golf when you are interested in playing, as it will help you out on the course. The stroke total you rack up on a scorecard is the most objective overall measurement of your quality as a golf player.

Woods
A typical golfer's bag will have a driver (called 1-wood) and a couple of fairway woods (3- and/or 5-wood). A driver is the longest club (usually 45 inches) making it the toughest to control during a swing.

Tip: When purchasing your next set of golf clubs, you might want to check into custom-fitted ones based on your exact specifications. Every golfer is different in body structure, height and weight, and a club that will work for one doesn't necessarily mean it will work for another.

Irons
Irons feature thin club heads with grooves on it. Experienced players opt for a blade style iron while beginners get a cavity-back style. A blade-style has a club head with a full back, whereas a cavity back's club head is hollow. It is hollowed out to create a perimeter weighting effect helpful for less experienced golfers.

Tip: When putting the golf ball, hit the ball with the left hand in front of the ball. Keep this position during your stroke to maintain proper form.

Irons are categorized as long (1, 2, 3,4), mid- (5,6,7) and short (8,9). Short irons are the easiest to hit while the long ones are the hardest. The shorter the iron, the more loft there is and for beginners, the more loft, the better.

Tip: It's always a good idea to take a few practice drives on the range before starting your game - even if you are in a rush to start. Warming up with practice before a round of golf is just a smart way to play.

Putters
Putters are the clubs most often used in the game and come in club head styles of blade, heel-toe and mallet. Lengths come in belly putters, standard and broomstick (long) putters. Which option to get is a personal choice.

Utility clubs/hybrids
The clubs combine features of woods and irons and are best for beginners who may not want to buy too many clubs at first.

Tip: A good grip is essential to a proper golf club swing. By having a solid grip, you put yourself in the best position to work the club in order to strike a wide variety of shots.

Finally, as a final word before taking them out of the store, most new clubs fit individuals at the average height of 5’10” for men and 5’5” for women. If you are significantly shorter or taller than these figures, you should get your club fitted to your height.

Start off with these considerations to build on your research when choosing your golf clubs. The game becomes a lot more fun with the little effort you make now.
