| Choosing the right set of golf clubs can lead to significant improvements in your technique, provided that you choose golf clubs that are appropriate for your skill level, strength, height and weight. Prior to purchasing new clubs, experiment with different styles by renting, borrowing, or demo-ing a set from a reputable golf store. Do your research and study the various brands of clubs and how they are sold. Two leading manufacturers are TaylorMade and Ping, but there are literally countless others. Since it is crucial that they match, irons are sold as sets, which usually consist of the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 irons and a pitching wedge. Woods are either sold individually or in sets. A set consists of a driver, a 3 wood and a 5 wood. Woods do not need to match. It behooves you to understand the differences in club design. The majority of the newer clubs on the market are perimeter weighted, with a larger hitting area to reduce the chances of an errant shot. In contrast, experts usually choose bladed clubs. Using a bladed club requires a great amount of precision and accuracy. However, these clubs are capable of delivering more power in the hands of a skilled expert. Players of the female persuasion have unique golf club needs. Woods made for women are usually lighter for faster swing speeds and more distance. Some women's golf club lines are designed to suit variable heights, because a golfer who is 5'2" shouldn't be playing with golf clubs built for someone who is 5'8". Women's irons are light and easy to control. Nowadays, more women are using utility woods in place of long irons. |
