Some Points You should Consider before Buying Golf Clubs

Some Points You should Consider before Buying Golf Clubs

A common myth is that the higher the price of a club, the better your game will be: “This club cost me 9.00, I must be playing great now!”. Just think about it, are drivers really worth 0 to 00 and iron sets 00 to ,000? The big manufacturers spend millions of $ $ to promote their stuff and still make huge profits. Who you think pays for that? Paying high prices does not lower ones handicap, but a properly chosen club will, even a cheap one.

1. The shaft is the axle of the club, the better the shaft, the better the club.
 

2. Shaft flex has a major effect on the feel of a golf club and a medium effect on distance, thus an important determination in choosing clubs. If you do not know your speed swing (mph or km/h), some local golf shops can measure it for you. Otherwise the following chart may be helpful.
 

SWING SPEED CONVERSION CHAR

LADIES FLEX

Driver speed swing less than 60 mph (100 km/h). Driver carry distance less than 180 yds. Club used from 150 yds. a 3 iron or wood.

SENIOR or A FLEX

Driver speed swing 60-75 mph (100-120 km/h). Driver carry distance 180-210 yds. Club used from 150yds. a 4 iron.

REGULAR FLEX

Driver speed swing 75-84 mph (120-135 km/h). Driver carry distance 210-240 yds. Club used from 150 yds. a 5 or 6 iron.

STIFF FLEX

Driver speed swing 84-93 mph (130-150 km/h). Driver carry distance 240-260 yds. Club used from 150 yds. a 6 or 7 iron.

X-STIFF FLEX

Driver speed swing over 93 mph (150 km/h). Driver carry distance 260+ yds. Club used from 150 yds. a 8 or 9 iron.

3. Shallow face metalwoods are well established game improvement clubs on the market. Generally, shallow face metalwoods are easy to hit and extremely accurate due to their low center of gravity – something every golfer will appreciate.

4. Beginners and novice players choosing a set make-up, should consider eliminating the 2, 3 and 4 irons from their set, replacing those hard to hit irons with #3 and #5 hybrid clubs.

5. All golfers should use standard length clubs unless he or she is short or tall. Standard length clubs allow players to hit the ball on center a higher percentage of the time, thus increasing distance and accuracy. In recent years, light weight Titanium driver heads and Ultralight graphite shafts have extended driver playing lengths from a standard 43-431/2″ to 44-46″. This is good news and bad news. The good news is, when you increase length, you will increase distance. The longer the club, the more club head speed generated , thus more distance. The bad news is, the longer the club the more difficult it is to control, thus less accuracy. To put this into perspective, the following information will be helpful. A driver hit on center at 43″ = 250 yds. 43 1/2″= 262 yds. 44″ = 270 yds. 44 1/2″ = 275 yds. 45″ = 275-280 yds. As you can see a significant increase in distance is achieved up to 44″. After 44″, distance increases only a minimal amount . CONCLUSION – It is not worth sacrificing accuracy for the minimal amount of distance gained past 44″. Keep driver playing lengths to 44″ or less.

6. In case you are not ‘standard’, determining the proper length for your clubs is very easy and free of guess-work by taking a wrist to floor measurement. You need a helper. In street shoes, stand at ‘attention’ with your feet about a foot apart. Stand straight, shoulders up, but your arms relaxed by your side. Have your helper measure (RH players) from your left wrist at the crease where it meets your hand, to the floor. LH players measure from right wrist. Shorter players will measure in the low 30″s, the average height players in the mid 30″s, and tall players 35″ & up.

 

The values in the table then show you (in inches) how much longer or shorter than the standard length your clubs should be. For a more accurate set of measurements you can visit http://www.golfshoppingshop.com

7. STEEL SHAFTS vs. GRAPHITE SHAFTS – These are general recommendations:

 

A. Men (Age 13-55)

Steel shafted irons, graphite shafted woods.

B. Men (Age 55+)

Graphite shafted irons and woods. Note the switch to graphite irons. As we get older the speed swing slows, lighter weight graphite shafts may recover some of the lost speed, thus regaining some lost distance. A switch to a softer flex shaft (senior, A-flex) is also recommended.

C. Ladies (All Ages)

Graphite shafted irons and woods. The lighter weight graphite shafts are much easier for ladies to swing than heavier steel shafts. A little more costly, worth the investment.

 

8. Loft angle has a major effect on distance off the tee, so its important to choose the correct loft for your driving club. The slower speed swingers (ladies, seniors and some regular flex players) need higher lofted driving clubs. Increased loft will allow a better launch angle, higher trajectory, greater carry, thus more distance! This may be a surprise to a lot of long time players who have always thought less loft, more distance. Case in point. Many regular and senior flex players have fallen prey to the ProLine model hype and purchased 0.00+ drivers at 10 or less degrees, only to find they were hard to get airborn and produced low line drives. Live and learn. Faster speed swingers do require less loft to obtain maximum distance. The following information should be helpful in choosing the correct loft for you driving club.

 

RECOMMENDED LOFTS FOR DRIVING CLUBS:

LADIES and SENIOR

shaft flex players with less than 60 mph (100 km/h) speed swing, 13-15 degrees.

SENIOR

shaft flex players with 60-75 mph (100-120 km/h) speed swing, 13 degrees.

REGULAR

shaft flex players with 75-84 mph (120-135 km/h) speed swing, 12 degrees.

STIFF

shaft flex players with 84-93 mph (130-150 km/h) speed swing, 10-11 degrees.

STIFF or X-STIFF

shaft players with more than 93 mph (150 km/h) speed swing, 10 or less degrees.NOTE: Because of certain swing movements high ball hitters may want to decrease 2 degrees from current driver loft.

 

9. Slicing the ball off the tee may be the single most problem confronting golfers. The face angle of the club has a major effect on accuracy off the tee. Face angles of drivers are open, square or closed. Closed face drivers come 1-6 degrees closed. Slicers need closed face drivers for correction。Expect a 5-7 yard correction in slice for every degree the face is closed if your current driver has a square face angle.

EXAMPLE: You aim for the middle of a 30 yard wide fairway using a square face driver, but your ball ends up 5 yards in the rough. Same shot, using a driver with a face angle 2 degrees closed, your slice would be corrected approximately 12 yards, which puts you 7 yards in the fairway!

10. DISTANCE – What makes a golf ball go far? There are 4 basic reasons to how far a player can hit a golf ball.
a. The composition of the golf ball. Some balls go farther than others. Any name brand 100 compression ball will go farther than a 70 compression driving range ball.
b. Loft of club. Less loft for faster speed swingers = more distance. More loft for slower speed swingers = more distance.
c. Length of club. The longer the club (up to a certain point, see above) the more distance.
d. Last and most important is swing speed. The more clubhead speed a golfer can generate at impact, the more distance. Why do you think Tiger Woods hits it as far as he does? He generates 200 km/h of clubhead speed with his driver. Most Pros are not close to that. Because #d has the biggest effect on distance, golfers should understand clubmakers and manufacturers are somewhat limited in trying to aid golfers to achieve more distance. We cannot change the physics of the game.
 

A final note on distance. Many players are led to believe metals (Titanium, Maraging Steel, Cyro Plasma, Cermet, etc.) have a major effect on distance. Once again, more hype. If metals have an effect on distance, its very minor at best.

Something You Should Know When buying Golf Clubs

Something You Should Know When buying Golf Clubs

For most golfers buying a new set of clubs is as important as buying a car. It’s important to get it right because you can spend a lot of money and you’ll be using them for many years to come. If you haven’t realised it already golf equipment gets very technical. For the very best players a misplaced ‘C.O.G’ or ‘M.O.I’ can severely affect their game. For the rest of us a few simple decisions will help you select the right golf clubs for you and avoid wasting your hard earned cash. Lets take a look at what you need to know.

How much you spend is obviously up to you. Golf equipment can cost a small fortune especially if you opt for custom made stuff. If you’re a beginner its probably a better idea to look for a less expensive range or even buy second hand (check for signs of rusting and degradation if you do). This game is a tough nut to crack and not everyone develops an addiction to it. You don’t want a thousand dollars worth of golf clubs gathering dust in the closet! When you get to a decent level or are already there it then becomes more cost effective to go for the higher end products.

The majority of your golf bag will be taken up by the irons – generally 3 through to 9. The quality of the shaft is key for these clubs and industry standard is for the irons to be made out of steel. Take note – if your swing speed is slow or your swing speed is decreasing due to age consider buying graphite shaft irons. They are lighter and can help you get back some distance.

The flex of the shaft is another key component. Again slower swing speeds require a more flexible shaft. The extra whip generated helps add yards to your shots. This is not helpful to the golfer who is hitting their 7 iron 150 yards or more as flexible shafts tend to be harder to control at that level. These types of golfer should look at the stiffer range.

A feature of the 21st century golf bag is the hybrid clubs. A mix between the fairway wood and standard iron this club is known to be easier to hit than long irons and can be used in many situations. Generally considered a must for high handicappers and beginners you will also find that the pros have adopted them also. Its certainly worth considering having these in your bag rather than the long irons. If, like me, you tend to spend a little too much time in the rough then these golf clubs can be your saviour.

When you are making your selection be mindful that golf clubs are generally made to a standard length. When you set up, the club head should sit flat on the ground and the club should fall below your waist. The standard length is acceptable for most golfers but if you’re particularly small or tall it might be a better idea to go for a custom made set. This will give you a better chance of solid contact.

The club head comes in all shapes and sizes. You hear much about the debate between cavity backed or blades. The cavity backed club head has a larger sweet spot so is easier to hit but at the cost of feel and control. This is why better players tend to prefer the blades.

The driver and fairway woods usually have graphite shafts to assist in generating club head speed. As with irons the amount of flex you need depends on how much speed you tend to generate.

Loft of the driver head is often overlooked. Slow swingers want a higher loft as it helps get higher trajectory off the tee and ultimately more carry down the fairway. Loft tends to range between 10 and 15 degrees. Better players should opt for the lower end of that range.

Fortunately for some of us you can select the angle of the face of the driver to offset any tendencies such as slicing or hooking. If you slice go for a closed face and if you hook go for an open face. The difference can be between hitting the rough regularly or getting down that fairway.

The putter is all about feel. You need to be able to produce a smooth stroke to get the right contact on the golf ball. As a result there are a great many variations in the type of putter you can buy. See which one sits right with you. The heavier putters can help beginners because they promote a less jerky technique and reduce the chance of the golfer giving up on the putt as they hit it.

The grip has to feel comfortable. You can have golf clubs regripped and this may come in useful if you have small or large hands.

Everyone has their own tastes so not all the tips will apply but its certainly worth bearing these pointers in mind. Buying clubs can be a sizeable investment and the last thing you want is to find you’ve chosen a set that you simply cannot get on with. One final tip is to make sure you are honest about your game with the store attendants when selecting clubs. Yes, they are trying to sell to you but they will want you to get the right clubs. Its no use saying you hit the ball dead straight and play off a 4 handicap when you really have a horrendous slice and struggle to break 100. The needs of these two types of player are very different! Best golf clubs in ordergolfonline

Package Golf Sets versus Buying Golf Clubs Separately?

Package Golf Sets versus Buying Golf Clubs Separately?

Article by Neil Peters







Should you buy a package golf set or should you buy golf clubs separately? That is the question most beginners are faced with when starting out in the game. There is no correct answer of course but there are a few important things that when considered may help you to make the correct choice for you.

The main things to think about are:

Budget: how much money you want to spendCommitment: how serious are you about golfFuture: am I likely to upgrade in future

What is your budget?

So, let’s talk about budget first of all as that’s perhaps the most important consideration for any beginner. As a beginner you’re unlikely to know just how serious you are about the game yet so you won’t want to break the bank. However, you don’t want to waste money on a golf set that you’re likely to want to replace quickly either. Luckily, you can buy package golf sets that have high quality clubs and are modestly priced. There’s no need to spend more than £200 to get a good starter set with all the clubs you’ll need and included will be a good golf bag.

How keen are you?

When you consider that you could easily spend £1000 to buy all the clubs separately then this really is a key factor for most people. Is the much greater invested in separate clubs worthwhile? Well, the answer really relates to our second consideration: how serious are you about golf? If you already know that you’re mad keen on the game then I’d have no hesitation in recommending that you look at buying clubs separately and perhaps even consider having your clubs custom fitted.

Still unsure?

Finally, related to the previous two considerations ask yourself this: am I likely to want to upgrade in future? This is big unknown for most at the outset. I’d say if you are at all unsure then go for a good quality package golf set from a good brand like Callaway, RAM or Wilson Staff. You’ll get a really good set for less than £200 that is ideal for a beginner- or intermediate-level golfer for that matter.

Knowledge Expert Before Buying Golf Clubs

Knowledge Expert Before Buying Golf Clubs

Are you preparing to replace your old golf clubs with new ones? Here are a few things to keep in mind before you buy a new set of golf clubs.

Identify Your Needs
You’re about to spend hundreds – maybe thousands, depending on your bankroll and your level of commitment – of dollars. The most important thing when replacing an old set of golf clubs with a new set is to be honest about the state of your game, and your dedication to the game. How much money and what level of equipment do you feel is justified by your game and your dedication to it?

Consider Changes in Your Game
Ask yourself this question: Do I need a different type club because of changes in my game? For example, if your handicap index has shot up because you don’t play as frequently, you might want to replace those muscleback blades with cavitybacks. Conversely, if you’ve shown great improvement, perhaps you’re willing to consider moving up in class to clubs geared for better players. Realistically matching your level of expertise and dedication with the playability of new clubs can only help.

Should You Change Shafts?
The older we get, the more likely it is we need a softer flex on our golf shafts. Most teaching pros will tell you that most men are playing shafts too stiff for their games to begin with. Be honest about your swing. Should you be playing a softer flex? Likewise, players with slower or weaker swings generally benefit from graphite shafts. If you’re playing steel but your swing has slowed, give graphite some consideration. Choosing the Right Shaft Flex
How to Choose a New Shaft
How About a Clubfitting?
The safest way to answer the question about shafts is to get a clubfitting. A rudimentary clubfitting – taking a few measurements, answering a few questions about distances – can be done in any pro shop and even online. But an in-depth clubfitting lasting 30-45 minutes with a teaching pro or professional clubfitter is the best way to ensure that the equipment you’re about to purchase matches your swing and your body. Clubfitting Helps Your Clubs Help You
Before You Buy a Clubfitting
Set a Budget
Once you’ve identified the current state of your game and your future goals, it’s time to consider how much you’re willing to spend. Some golfers have unlimited budgets, and there’s nothing wrong with overspending if you’re in that category. But most golfers have at least some budget constraints. The good news is that the “value” or “budget” category of golf equipment continues to offer more and better choices every year. Decide how much you’re willing to spend, and stick to it. Research Prices in the Pro Shop
Read Golf Club Reviews
Reviews can sometimes be as confusing as they can be helpful, given that different “experts” sometimes offer different conclusions about the same product. But reading reviews can help you get a sense of what’s out there in your price range and what matches your game. Reviews might not provide you with the perfect answer, but they can help you narrow the field. Golf Equipment Reviews and News
Seek Out Opinions
Something else that can help narrow the field are the opinions of friends, of the local golf pro and even of salespeople in pro shops. If you’re shopping low-budget, in a department store for example, you likely won’t find much help from the store’s staff. But there are a couple pro shops in just about every town that have developed reputations for honesty and helpfulness. Find one of those and you might just find the best clubs for you. Seek Opinions in the Golf Forum
Shop Around
Of course, it all comes down to what you like, what you want and how much you can afford. In the end, the only person who needs to be pleased is you. Spend some time looking around and comparing prices. Inventory and prices can vary from store to store. Stick within your budget and find a set of clubs that you’re confident matches your abilities and goals.

Tips on buying golf clubs

Tips on buying golf clubs

Do you need standard length or custom length clubs?

Most golfers use standard length clubs. If you are considerably shorter or taller than the average person, you may want to consider getting custom-length clubs to suit your height. If your arms are longer or shorter than the average person, you may also want to consider custom-length clubs. Generally, the longer the club, the more club head speed it can generate, resulting in more distance. The downside, however, is that the longer the club is the more difficult it is to control.

The only way to find out if you do need custom-length clubs, is to take a simple measurement – you will need a friend or family member to help you with this!

Put your golf shoes on and take your normal golf stance, (feet shoulder-width apart) except that you should stand upright with your arms relaxed down your sides.

If you are a right-handed player, take a measurement from your left wrist (on the line where it connects to your hand), to the floor. Left-handed players should measure from their right wrist. The average height golfer will have a measurement between 30-35 inches. If your measurement is lower that 30 inches or higher than 35 inches, you will most likely need custom-length clubs.

Do you need Steel Shafts or Graphite Shafts?

Good question – see below some general guidelines:

LADIES OF ALL AGES:

– Should play with graphite shafted irons and woods.

MEN AGED 55 AND OVER:

– Should play with graphite shafted irons and woods. As golfers get older, their swing speeds generally slow down, which is why graphite shafts are recommended to try and regain as much distance as possible.

BOYS/MEN AGED BETWEEN 12 AND 55:

– Should play with steel shafted irons and graphite shafted woods.

Learn About Buying Golf Clubs For Kids

So you think your child is the next Tiger Woods or Michelle Wie? Or maybe you simply wish to share the game of golf with your child? Either way, getting kids started in golf can be confusing even for the seasoned golfer, especially when it comes time for buying clubs for kids.

Buying golf clubs for kids is not what it used to be. Gone are the days of buying an adult set and simply cutting down the length. Adult clubs have heavy shafts and heads that will make it even harder for your child to enjoy the game. Any good set of golf clubs for kids will have lightweight heads, light and flexible shafts, and smaller grips, all of which will help your child make better contact and get the ball airborne more easily.

Before buying golf clubs for kids that come in an entire set, it is advisable to see if your child is truly interested in pursuing the game. Golf can be a difficult and frustrating game. It is widely held in the golf industry that for every adult taking up the game, there is another who quits in frustration. A good way to judge your child’s interest before buying golf clubs for kids is to start with one or two clubs. Unlike adult clubs, buying golf clubs for kids means you can frequently buy them individually as well as in sets. For a small investment you can purchase a single iron club (like a seven iron), and a putter, and then head off to the local practice green or pitch-and-putt course.

Once you feel confident that your child is interested and committed to learning golf, then it is time to consider buying golf clubs for kids that come in a full set. However, unlike a typical set of fourteen clubs found in the golf bags of most adults, buying golf clubs for kids in a set does not need to be so extensive. Depending on the age and strength of your child, the ideal set of golf clubs for kids could be as small as three clubs. (A high lofted fairway wood, seven iron, and a putter are ideal for a young child). As your child continues to grow in size and strength, they will need to add additional clubs to their ideal set of golf clubs for kids.

Remember, as your child grows they will grow out of their clubs just as they grow out of their clothes. Buying golf clubs for kids that are a properly fitted set is imperative if you want your child to have the proper equipment, so be prepared for buying new golf clubs for kids every one to two years.

Whether buying golf clubs for kids that are individual or one of the complete sets of golf clubs for kids that come with a golf bag, the important thing is to share the game you love with your child by providing them with equipment that will help them get the most from their experience.
