Which Golf Clubs Are Right For You?
Lets talk about the tools you are going to use the most. Your golf clubs. When you get to the golf course you are going to want golf clubs that fit you right and that you are comfortable using. There are many different brands and types of golf clubs. So lets see what different kinds of clubs do.
Titanium golf clubs: Titanium golf clubs are manufactured by some of the worlds top golf head builders. Why? Titanium is one of the "hardest" metals but is also one of the lightest. So because of this manufacturers can make club heads bigger without having their golf clubs heavy. So how does this effect your golf ball? Your golf ball will get more distance from a titanium club. You can get one for around $200. One interesting side note on titanium golf clubs is a study by the British Medical Journal saying that the "boom" produced when you hit the golf ball can impair your hearing.
Hybrid golf clubs: A hybrid golf club is a cross between an iron and a fairway wood. This gives you the consistency of a iron with the distance of a wood. Hybrids are changing the way a traditional set of irons are sold. Now instead of getting a set with all irons, hybrids are replacing one or two of the longer irons. A couple of hybrid clubs are a must for any set of golf clubs.
Traditional irons: Traditional irons are usually sold in a set from 3 iron up to pitching wedge. You can buy separate a sand wedge and a 1 or 2 iron. Irons are accuracy clubs. Go to the driving range and practice enough so you know what distance you hit each iron.
Putter: The make or break you club. Putters come in many lengths and different head shapes.To find a putter thats right for you first figure out what your posture is when you putt. If you stand upright you will want a longer putter. If you crouch you will want a shorter putter. Next see how you putt the ball. If you putt with a pendulum swing choose a wider grip, this will stop unwanted wrist action. If you use your wrists more when you putt get thinner grips, this should give a smoother release of the ball. Practice with a few different types until you find the one best for you.
If your new to golf try buying some "pre-owned" golf clubs. These are clubs someone else is selling usally because they upgraded their set. You can find some very nice golf clubs for under half the cost of new golf clubs. Look online and you will find many sites that sell these.
