Consider These Important Factors When Choosing Your First Set Of Golf Clubs

August 27th, 2009 by Cyndi Whittel | Filed in golf clubs

What factors should you consider before buying a new set of golf clubs? Here are some things to keep in mind when you start shopping for your very first set of golf clubs. First, identify your goals. Decide these goals before you go shopping for clubs, because identifying realistic goals will make your shopping experience much easier. For example, if you are taking up the game just so you can play twice a year with your brother-in-law, there’s no need to spend much time, effort or money on picking out clubs. If you are wildly enthusiastic about golf and plan on playing every chance you get, your sights might be set higher. For example, The Callaway X-22 Tour Irons are an improvement on the X 20 Irons and are designed with professional players in mind. The thin top line on the head shape works with a 360-degree undercut channel to keep the length on the shorter side and the center of gravity very low. This can be adjusted for custom specifications and the sole width of each iron is designed based on the exact length and loft of the iron, providing a better turf interaction for the entire set. The Callaway X-22 Tour Irons have features that Callaway provides on most of their irons, including precision notch weighting to create a higher moment of impact while maintaining the center of gravity. Also look into the new Callaway BIG BERTHA 460 golf set is a complete golf clubs set (3w+9I+1P) with bag and FREE GOLF HAT at the link above.

Another important thing to remember is to honestly Assess your levels of interest and dedication to the sport. Before you can actually determine the amount of money you’re willing to spend, and on what caliber of clubs, you really should honestly assess your dedication. Will you be practicing a lot? If you answer “no” or “probably not,” then cheaper clubs might be the way to go. Answering “yes” could be a sign that you’re not aiming high enough if you want something more expensive.

The next question to ask yourself: Should you buy new or used clubs? If you’re unsure of your actual dedication to sport of golf or if you think you may take it up and drop it later, used clubs may just be a good choice for you. They’ll be much cheaper, of course, than they are new. And because they’ll be so much more affordable, they can be easily replaced.

Before you buy used clubs you need to set your budget. Golf clubs can be very expensive. You can find reasonable golf sets on ecrater. 100 new clubs, this listing even offers free shipping worldwide. With these $549 100% new golf sets you get all head covers, full Clubs you get all the irons, woods, etc. (3w+ 9I+ 1P) and a bag & even a free golf hat.

Research prices in a golf pro shop. Two basics of golf shafts that beginners should most pay attention to are shaft composition (steel or graphite) and shaft flex (how much the shaft bends during the swing). Graphite is lighter and easier. It also can help generate swing speed; steel is more durable and cheaper. Women and seniors will most likely benefit from graphite shafts with a soft flex. Younger, stronger men might go with regular or stiff shafts, but keep in mind that most teaching pros say many golfers use shafts that are actually too stiff.

So what about club fitting? If your first set of clubs is going to be new, you might consider a club fitting. Many teaching pros do an in-depth club fitting that usually takes about 30-45 minutes. If you don’t do that, then being measured in a pro shop to make sure the clubs you choose are well-suited to your body type can’t hurt either. The standard, off-the-shelf length for golf clubs corresponds to a male who is 5 foot ten. If you’re around that size, then standard will usually work just fine. If, however you are shorter or taller it’s a really good idea to go ahead and get fitted. Keeping these things in mind, you should be off to a great start and much more likely to enjoy the sport.
