A word of caution here. It is suggested you stick with the sites you may be familiar with by name or recommended by reliable sources. Your chance of being satisfied with your purchases will be much higher. Also, if you subscribe to or have access to a few golf magazines there is usually an article or section offering guidelines for buying golf clubs or reviews of the latest additions to the market. If you are interested in a major brand it would be a good idea to search the golf magazines or back to the internet for any professional critiques on the golf club of your choice. Reviews are fairly easy to come by. Just go the internet and click on the home pages of the golf magazines or search for “review of xxxx” However, be aware you may run across good and bad reviews so be very selective in making a pro or con decision. Be sure you separate the advertisements from the reviews.
Another great source is your local golf club you play at. I’m sure there are may golfers using some of the same clubs you are interested in and they can provide some excellent performance information. They may even offer to let you try a few.
Another good source is to visit some of the golf forums on the internet. These are folks that have a love for the game and are usually responsive to your questions or when asking for advice.Forums are a source you should actively get involved with. It gives you a chance to meet and share with fellow golfers with the same interest. You can always get some good ideas.
Giving all the above the consideration it deserves keep in mind the best way in choosing a golf club is to try one out yourself. It would be great if you can get one to use on the range, but I know this is not always possible. However, I know several golf stores have hitting nets and the customer is always welcome to try out new golf clubs. Some of them even have equipment that will time the speed of your swing, etc.
All in All there are many sources for meeting your specific needs but remember whatever club you choose it won’t make a difference unless you practice, practice, practice.
