How to Choose Correct Golf Clubs
Unlike the old days, today we are very fortunate because we could get all our golf clubs custom fit to suit our actual swing.
Make sure that you use the same lie angle by ensuring that you are not hitting a
golf clubs that are wrongly fitted to you otherwise when you hit a bad shot, you don’t know whether it’s you or the golf clubs that are to be blamed.
If you get the golf clubs set up to your loft lie correctly at least then you’ll know for a fact that when you hit a bad shot it was you. A good way of testing this is to look at your set of irons. If you hit well with your five iron while the six and seven iron always give you nightmares, something could be wrong with the lie angle of the latter. In fact they should be better because they’ve got more loft on, but if thelie is wrong then that’s probably the reason why.
If you are using golf clubs that you have been using for quite for time now that are wrongly fitted to you, there is a tendency for you to try and compensate because you think your golf swing is going wrong. This means that you are putting the faults into your golf swing or into your golf game to compensate for badly fitted golf clubs.
Always remember that the correct golf clubs can enhance the game of a player. Available in a wide variety of styles and designs, golf clubs are designed to fit all golfers and all budgets. You should pick the proper set of correct golf clubs and the essential equipment to compliment your golf game.
The size of the golf club heads is important. The heads are either made of either steel or titanium. Steel heads are heavier than titanium and can impede a golf swing. Titanium heads can be bigger and allows for more ball contact but maintain a lower weight than steel.
Also, make a point to check the flexibility of the golf club shaft. A graphite shaft, while lighter, offers less control. A steel shaft is strong and allows the golfer more control over his swing.
The following tips could further help you in choosing the correct golf clubs:
1) Try to hit a few drivers in a local golf shop. If possible, use a machine to test your swing speed which is an important factor in choosing the correct golf clubs.
2) Follow these swing speeds (measured in mph):
105+ for extra stiff shaft,
90 to 105 for stiff shaft,
80 to 95 for regular shaft,
70 to 85 for senior flex (flexible or A shaft) and
Under 70 for ladies flex.
Do not purchase golf clubs that are too stiff for your swing speed. There is no shame in using a regular flex, senior flex or even ladies flex if it helps you hit the ball as far as possible.
3) Purchase golf clubs with large club heads and perimeter weighting for more forgiveness. Buy golf clubs with smaller club heads for more control. The extra weight on the bottom of the club would help get the ball airborne.
